There is a lot of data crammed into that chart. Took me a while to grasp the content. Still a couple of confusing parts.

A couple of the installations appear to be physically small compared to larger ones, but their capacity is very large by comparison. Specifically the Huanghe Hydropower Golmud Solar Park in China, and Noor Abu Dabi in the UAE.

I think the Huanghe listing is combined solar and hydro power, but that is a guess. Not sure why Noor Abu Dabi installation can be so much more efficient than the others.

Without doing any research on the subject or the locations, I assume some places are more efficient largely due to percentage of cloud interference. Though air pollution would come into it as well.

Some of them are projected outputs when they are completed as well. There are 2 in Dubai
