Do tariff barriers affect global PV product trade?

The global trade of solar photovoltaic (PV) products substantially contributes to increases in solar power generation and carbon emissions reductions. This paper depicts global PV product trade patterns, explores emissions reduction potential, and evaluates the impeding effect of tariff barriers on global PV product trade and emissions reductions.

Why is the global solar PV product trade important?

The global solar PV product trade plays an important role in facilitating PV product production and utilization and in mitigating climate change. Traded solar cells and modules in 2017 could generate 2325.25 TWh of electricity over their 30-year lifetimes.

Does solar PV have a trade pattern in East Asia?

Yang et al. (2017) displayed changes in solar PV’s core-periphery hierarchical trade patterns in East Asia. Based on previous results, Guan et al. (2020) proposed functional trade patterns, the optimal trade patterns measured and determined by network motifs, to estimate the potential PV trade flows effectively.

Why do we need a globalised solar PV market?

However, trade policies and harmonised coherent product standards are needed to unlock additional cost reductions and are therefore crucial to a globalised PV market that promotes safe and inclusive trade in solar PV goods and services`.

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.

Can global PV trade networks be used as a dependent variable?

First, combined with the empirical econometric model, the global PV trade networks can be taken as the dependent variable to further investigate its economic and environmental impacts.
