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.

Which country exports the most solar PV products in the world?

China is the top manufacturer of solar PV products in the world and exports the technology for distributed and utility-scale projects to a diversified market base around the globe. China's solar PV exports rapidly increased from the mid-2000s through 2019 despite setbacks from the global financial crisis and trade protectionism.

What is the supply chain for solar PV?

The supply chain for solar PV has two branches in the United States: crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV, which made up 84% of the U.S. market in 2020, and cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film PV, which made up the remaining 16%. The supply chain for c-Si PV starts with the refining of high-purity polysilicon.

Does China Export solar panels?

By the turn of the last century, China had increased its solar panel manufacturing primarily for export to wealthier countries, yet had achieved only very low levels of solar power utilization domestically. In 2008, China was exporting 95% of the solar products it produced (Liu & Goldstein, 2013).

How can solar PV supply chain diversification reduce supply chain risks?

Because diversification is one of the key strategies for reducing supply chain risks, the report assesses the opportunities and challenges of developing solar PV supply chains in terms of job creation, investment requirements, manufacturing costs, emissions and recycling.
