Europe, the United States, and India imported 84 %, 77 %, and 75 %, respectively, of installed solar PV modules between 2017 and 2021 (IEA, 2022a). In addition, the modules that they produced domestically relied on 60 %−80 % of imported cells from China (IEA, 2022a).
All the top importing countries have strong cultural and political factors that drive the demand for solar energy. The US, China, India, and many European countries have all made ambitious pledges to adopt more renewable energy sources. Their imports in the year 2021 reflect their effort to meet these goals.

The photovoltaic device’s import data also shows that the Netherlands and Hong Kong act as trade hubs for all across Europe, China, and other countries.
With a total over the last 12 months of 19 GW, Brazil is the largest single destination for China’s solar module exports outside of Europe. Solar cells, which are unassembled parts that make up solar panels, made up the remaining 10% of China’s solar exports by value ($2.5 bn).
French MEP Manon Aubry (La France Insoumise, GUE/NGL) claimed that 97% of all solar panels in Europe are imported, mainly from China. Is that true? Chinese president Xi Jinping was in France on Monday and Tuesday, as part of a high profile Europe trip.
In addition, China contributed to about 70 % of the global module production in 2021, a 20 % increase from 2010 (IEA, 2022a). Europe, the United States, and India imported 84 %, 77 %, and 75 %, respectively, of installed solar PV modules between 2017 and 2021 (IEA, 2022a).
