The Most Comprehensive Review of Global Solar PV Industry to Date

The working paper from the Peterson Institute is too much depending upon authors' experts interviews. So cited numbers are rounded or ranged over big intervals.

If you are interested in IEA (or OECD) member countries only, IEA PVPS's annual report was published in May.
