    "additionalInfo": "Photovoltaic cost and capacity data between 1975 and 2003 has been taken from Nemet (2009).\n\nPrices from Nemet (2009) have been converted to 2021 US$ using the US GDP deflator: https://www.multpl.com/gdp-deflator/table/by-year\n\nPhotovoltaic cost data between 2004 and 2009 has been taken from Farmer & Lafond (2016).\n\nAccording to Farmer & Lafond (2016), the data are mostly taken from the [Santa-Fe Performance Curve DataBase](https://pcdb.santafe.edu/). The database has been constructed from personal communications and from [Colpier and Cornland (2002)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733315001699#bib0095), [Goldemberg et al.

The data on photovoltaic prices has been collected from public releases of Strategies Unlimited, Navigant and SPV Market Research. The data on nuclear energy is from [Koomey and Hultman (2007)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733315001699#bib0165) and [Cooper (2009)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733315001699#bib0100). The DNA sequencing data is from [Wetterstrand (2015)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733315001699#bib0290) (cost per human-size genome), and for each year the last available month (September for 2001-2002 and October afterwards) was taken and corrected for inflation using the US GDP deflator.\n\nPrices from Farmer & Lafond (2016) have been converted to 2021 US$ using the US GDP deflator: https://www.multpl.com/gdp-deflator/table/by-year\n\nPhotovoltaic capacity data between 2004 and 2021 has been taken from IRENA.\n\nPhotovoltaic cost data between 2010 and 2021 has been taken from IRENA.\n\n\nIRENA publishes detailed statistics on renewable energy capacity, power generation and renewable energy balances. This data is collected directly from members using the IRENA Renewable Energy Statistics questionnaire and is also supplemented by desk research where official statistics are not available.\n\nSome technologies include others, following this schema:\n\nTotal renewable energy\n  1.
