Our product dev team: when will your team finalise the solar installation numbers?

Me: when the world burns or when kudzu buries all the factories. When the waters rising cover all the works of the hands of man.

Product team: ok but when will you make the last update so we can lock it in?

Me: ... this is not a use case scenario you should be planning for.

(We have been arguing about this for at least 10 years. It's a living dataset! It needs constant attention!)

Toot

To overexplain - we publish estimates of photovoltaic installation for 147 countries, plus a buffer, by segment (residential / commercial / utility scale) every year to 2035.

However we update the historicals with official data where we believe this is accurate, and with new estimates when we have what we believe is a better source. Often official data for years ago is restated, and it's much less complicated to simply update our numbers with the new-best-number than to do anything else.
