Is there a surplus of unsold solar PV modules in Europe?

Rystad Energy analysts have recently expressed apprehensions regarding a substantial surplus of unsold solar PV modules stockpiled within European warehouses. They noted that, in the first eight months of 2023, Europe imported approximately 78 GW of solar modules, a figure already surpassing the anticipated installations for the entire year.

How many solar modules does China Export to Europe?

Over the last 12 months, China exported 111 GW of solar modules to Europe, the same amount as the total installed PV capacity of the United States. 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.

Are Chinese-manufactured solar panels putting up in European warehouses?

Chinese-manufactured solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are piling up in European warehouses, with Rystad Energy forecasting 100 GWdc of solar capacity in storage by the end of 2023.

Will European solar panels keep up with the growth of imported solar panels?

These goals include a target for 30 GWdc of European manufacturing along the entire value chain by 2025 and 40% of installed solar PV being manufactured within the continent by 2030. Despite these ambitious goals, between 2019 and 2022, locally-made modules could not keep pace with the growth of imported panels.

Why is solar PV growing in Europe?

Various energy policies and the green transition have propelled the demand for solar PV growth in Europe. Since 2022, initiatives like the Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), REPowerEU, and the Net Zero Industry Act have set ambitious goals for solar PV installations and European manufacturing in the coming years.

What are Europe's solar PV goals?

Since 2022, the Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), RePowerEU, and the Net Zero Industry Act have all set ambitious solar PV goals. These goals include a target for 30 GWdc of European manufacturing along the entire value chain by 2025 and 40% of installed solar PV being manufactured within the continent by 2030.
