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.

Are solar PV supply chains cost-competitive?

Currently, the cost competitiveness of existing solar PV manufacturing is a key challenge to diversifying supply chains. China is the most cost-competitive location to manufacture all components of the solar PV supply chain. Costs in China are 10% lower than in India, 20% lower than in the United States, and 35% lower than in Europe.

How many new solar and storage manufacturing announcements are there?

According to the SEIA supply chain dashboard, there have been more than 200 new solar and storage manufacturing announcements since federal manufacturing incentives were established. New manufacturing announcements reflect: A stronger manufacturing ecosystem, with increased investment at all levels of the supply chain.
