Footnotes:

a Includes small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) only. Excludes any small amount of small-scale solar thermal electricity generation.

b Includes PV and solar thermal electricity net generation at utility-scale and small-scale facilities.

c Includes all solar thermal energy consumed as heat by any sector.

d Excludes any small-scale solar thermal energy consumed as heat, which is allocated to the residential sector.

Where shown, (s) = Physical unit value less than 0.5 or Btu value less than 0.05.

Notes: · There are no direct fuel costs for PV and solar thermal energy. · Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. See Section 5 of the technical notes for explanation of estimation methodology.
