Consequently, the increase in the global supply of solar PV panels, which exceeds the global demand, lowers the final price for such products in all global markets. This finding suggests that international trade could lead to further price reductions, thus fostering the development and deployment of solar PV technology.
The global solar PV industry is dominated by the key markets such as Germany, China, Japan and the United States (Kirkegaard et al., 2010). China has become the leading producer and player in the global solar PV market since 2010, with a substantial share of global trade (Algieri, Aquino, & Succurro, 2011).
When new countries join the global solar PV market, the total production capacity scales up, implying an increase of the global supply of solar PV panels, which exceeds the global demand and subsequently lowers the final price for such products in all global markets (Kirkegaard et al., 2010).
Economic and non-economic factors affecting the development of the solar PV market and the evolution of prices are relatively complex. Over the past two decades, the global market has experienced a substantial decline in solar PV module prices.
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).
The solar PV industry has experienced an unprecedented globalization over the past years, through new market entrants from developing countries and cross-border investment flows (Kirkegaard et al., 2010).
