Special Report on Solar PV Global Supply Chains Solar PV is a crucial pillar of clean energy transitions worldwide, underpinning efforts to reach international energy and climate goals. Over the last decade, the amount of solar PV deployed around the world has increased massively while its costs have declined drastically.
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.
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.
for the development of the solar PV industry1. The rapid increase in production sed on IEA, BNEF, LUT, IRENA, SolarPower Europe)The significant increase in production capacities at the main steps of the value chain (polysilicon, ingots/wafers, cells, modules and inverters) will crea
New solar PV manufacturing facilities along the supply chain could attract USD 120 billion investment by 2030. Annual investment levels need to double throughout the supply chain. Critical sectors such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers would attract the majority of investment to support growing demand.
will be discussed in detail in the next section.Overall, the global PV industr has been dominated in the last decade by China. This is true at all steps of the solar PV value chain, with China representing 79%, 97%, 82%, and 76% respectively of polysilicon, wafer
