Sounds about right assuming the global solar installation figures are ballpark correct. (See World in data [1], etc).

We've gone from ~200 GW installed per year to ~400 GW per year.

The India mega solar farm [2] is quoted as designed to deliver 30 GW from 72,600 hectares (179,398.5 acres).

Sanity checking ( 437 / 30 ) x 179,398 gives 2.6 million acres.
