YUAN HONGYAN/FOR CHINA DAILY The value of photovoltaic products exported by China hit a record in the first 10 months of 2023, with industry experts saying the momentum will persist through the year, buoyed by higher demand amid a green energy transition worldwide.

Which country produces the most cost-competitive solar PV supply chain?

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. Large variations in energy, labour, investment and overhead costs explain these differences.

Which countries export the most carbon embodied in PV products?

East Asia is the largest exporter region of carbon embodied in PV products, at 79.35 MtCO 2 e in 2017, accounting for 61.83% of the global total. China and Japan are the top 2 carbon outflow countries, aggregately accounting for 43.85% of the global total.

Are solar cells a key driver for the development of photovoltaic technology?

Improving cell conversion efficiency and reducing the cost of electricity are key drivers in the development of the photovoltaic industry. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency of solar cells is a crucial indicator and benchmark for evaluating the potential of photovoltaic technologies, said Li Zhenguo, president of Longi.
