  1. RETRIEVED 11 SEPTEMBER 2026, AQ-73 B9. Page 6: 'IRENA currently collects off-grid capacity and generation data from a variety of sources. These include IRENA questionnaires, national and international databases and unofficial sources such as: project reports; news articles; academic studies; and websites. For some countries, IRENA also estimates off-grid solar PV capacity, based on solar panel import statistics obtained from the United Nations COMTRADE Database.' Syria only in kilowatt-scale tables (pages 37 to 43). Nothing on flags or on revisions to a country series. Cited as the methodology by Off-grid Renewable Energy Statistics 2023 (research/SRC-E1b_IRENA_Offgrid_2023.txt, line 247 onward, no register row).
