Technical FAQs 4

What is the global solar module manufacturing capacity?

Global solar module manufacturing capacity is set to exceed 1.5 TW by 2035, according to forecasts from the IEA. Its latest report, “ Energy Technology Perspectives 2024,” covers the production of solar, wind turbines, electric cars, batteries, electrolyzers, and heat pumps.

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.

How big is the solar manufacturing industry?

To meet this growing demand, the solar manufacturing industry has experienced remarkable growth in the last few years, with global module manufacturing capacity increasing form only 326 gigawatts in 2020 to more than 1.3 terawatts in 2023.

How many GW of manufacturing capacity was there at the time?

At the time, there was only 7 GW of domestic module manufacturing capacity, 41 metric tons of polysilicon manufacturing capacity, and some inverter and racking manufacturing. There was no domestic manufacturing of other key upstream inputs.
