Supply chain of PV solar panels is at risks due to trade barriers and shortage of raw material. China controls the supply of materials, manufacturing, installations, and recycling capacity. Recycling high-value materials from end-of-life PV panels is not a practical solution.
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.
Use advanced methods such as blockchain and artificial intelligence to enhance transparency in transactions and help monitor the supply chain effectively to prevent potential bottlenecks: Governments should be able to track and monitor the supply chain of the solar PVs from the mining until the installation and possibly recycling.
PV Infolink’s Alan Tu probes the solar market situation and offers insights. PV InfoLink projects global PV module demand to reach 223 GW this year, with an optimistic forecast of 248 GW. Cumulative installed capacity is expected to reach 1 TW by year’s end. China still dominates PV demand.
Price fluctuations, restrictions, and quotas all represent potential risks that will eventually affect the supply chain of solar PVs. In fact, the high tariffs and restrictions should decrease the reliance on the Chinese market and therefore increase the diversity of supply (Mancheri et al., 2019).
