== Usage ==

Use this infobox for all pages with the title format "Solar power in X country" (for example, [[Solar power in India]]) with information on solar power in a particular country. All of the information used is found or can be calculated from data in [[Solar power by country]].

For all types of solar power and solar power plants, please use {{[[Template: Photovoltaics|Photovoltaics]]}}.

! Parameter !! Definition and Guidance
|-
| {{{country}}} || The country in question. It must be a country for which a "Solar power in" page exists.
|-
| {{{image}}} || Image relevant to solar power in the country in question such as a map of photovoltaic potential in the country or images of solar panels in the country. The image must already be uploaded to [[Wikimedia Commons]].
|-
| {{{caption}}} || Brief description of the inserted image.
|-
| {{{capacity}}} || Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.
|-
| {{{most_recent_year}}} || The year for which the capacity data applies.
|-
| {{{generation}}} || Total solar generation (in terawatt-hours). Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.

|-
| {{{most_recent_year_generation}}} || The year for which the generation data applies.
|-
| {{{capacity_capita}}} ||Total installed capacity (in watts) per capita. Ideally, this value is for front-of-meter / utility-scale generation and distributed solar, but it can be exclusively the former.
Calculated as (capacity in watts) ÷ (population).
The total installed nameplate capacity and the population should ideally be from the same year.

Please be mindful of units, especially orders of magnitude:

1 GW = 1,000 MW = 1,000,000 MW = 1,000,000,000 W
|-
| {{{most_recent_year_capita}}} || The year for which the per capita data applies.
|-
| {{{share}}} || Percentage of the total power grid energy in that country that is generated by solar.
|-
| {{{most_recent_year_share}}} || The year for which the share data applies.
|-
| {{{rank}}} || Ordinal rank of the capacity of that country compared to all countries.
|-
| {{{most_recent_year_rank}}} || The year for which the rank applies.
