Photovoltaic panel export situation

What is the solar photovoltaics supply chain review?

The Solar Photovoltaics Supply Chain Review explores the global solar photovoltaics (PV) supply chain and opportunities for developing U.S. manufacturing capacity.

Is China's photovoltaic industry poised for a transformation?

China's photovoltaic industry is undergoing a transformation due to the recurrent issue of oversupply as evidenced by plans from prominent companies like Longi Solar, JA Solar, Jinko Solar, Trina Solar, and Tongwei to expand production capacity.

How can solar PV supply chain diversification reduce supply chain risks?

Because diversification is one of the key strategies for reducing supply chain risks, the report assesses the opportunities and challenges of developing solar PV supply chains in terms of job creation, investment requirements, manufacturing costs, emissions and recycling.

How many dumping and import taxes are imposed on solar PV?

Since 2011, the number of antidumping, countervailing and import duties levied against parts of the solar PV supply chain has increased from just 1 import tax to 16 duties and import taxes, with 8 additional policies under consideration. Altogether, these measures cover 15% of global demand outside of China.

How has China halved the emissions intensity of solar PV Manufacturing?

Continuous innovation led by China has halved the emissions intensity of solar PV manufacturing since 2011. This is the result of more efficient use of materials and energy – and greater low-carbon electricity production.

How can a solar PV supply chain be sustainable?

Ensure environmental and social sustainability Strengthen international cooperation on creating clear and transparent standards, taking into account environmental and social sustainability criteria. Focus on skills development, worker protection and social inclusion across the solar PV supply chain.
