FAQs 6

Why do Eu solar panels come from China?

This is due to lower production costs in China and the EU’s decision to lift tariffs on Chinese solar panels in 2018. According to Eurostat data, a staggering 98% of solar panels imported into the EU in 2023 came from China. In monetary terms, the EU imported €19.7 billion worth of solar PV panels from China in 2023.

Did European solar firms survive the China shock?

Overall, it seems that many European solar firms did not survive the China shock – but some of those who did adapted by innovating more intensely. In the years following the study period, China has further cemented its dominant position in the global market for solar PV and other low carbon supply chains.

What are China's solar PV exports?

In 2021, the value of China’s solar PV exports was over USD 30 billion, almost 7% of China’s trade surplus over the last five years. In addition, Chinese investments in Malaysia and Viet Nam also made these countries major exporters of PV products, accounting for around 10% and 5% respectively of their trade surpluses since 2017.

Does China have a solar power market?

In contrast, China charted a deliberate industrial course, pouring more than $50 billion into scaling its solar PV capacity—ten times more than all EU countries combined. It vertically integrated its supply chains, slashed costs through massive economies of scale, and captured the market.

How has China shaped the global supply and demand of solar PV?

Government policies in China have shaped the global supply, demand and price of solar PV over the last decade. Chinese industrial policies focusing on solar PV as a strategic sector and on growing domestic demand have enabled economies of scale and supported continuous innovation throughout the supply chain.

How has global solar PV manufacturing capacity changed over the last decade?

Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.
