Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history. It cut the wholesale price of panels it sells by nearly half. And its exports of fully assembled solar panels climbed 38 percent while its exports of key components almost doubled.
Chinese companies account for around 60 percent of total annual solar cell manufacturing capacity globally. Why there and not in the US? Policy. China has deliberate, conscious, industrial development policies.
The company’s U.S. projects could tap renewable energy manufacturing subsidies provided by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. China’s cost advantage is formidable. A research unit of the European Commission calculated in a report in January that Chinese companies could make solar panels for 16 to 18.9 cents per watt of generating capacity.
“China really wanted the solar industry,” says Hemlock’s former president, Beachy. “We gave that away as a country.” It’s a tragic failure of vision and ambition. In Detroit a century ago, US automobile entrepreneurs created an industry that irrevocably transformed cities, countries and economies.
The emphasis on solar power is the latest installment in a two-decade program to make China less dependent on energy imports. China’s solar exports have already drawn urgent responses.
