The numbers are in GW... where did that number come from? The people couting the panels from space or the CCP?

Do you think it's impossible to estimate output without having access to the devices themselves?

China can fudge the numbers, sure, just like every country does, but if it's not within reason, that'll be very obvious and someone will check, then report on it. If you want to do the math, go ahead and do so, then report on it.

I didn't say that. I asked a question about the origin of the numbers. Trying to strawman me smh.

Also, how can you be so sure it's obvious? People've been reporting on the genoices in China only for tankies to deny it.

Also, how can you be so sure it's obvious?

Really feels like I'm talking to somebody who thinks they're being clear, but unaware that what they're typing makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe you're high or something. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

iea.org is the most likely source that I know about.
