According to the report, China’s share in making polysilicon, wafers, solar cells and solar panels were, in order, 94%, 96%, 90% and 81%. Polysilicon is the key base material for the solar PV supply chain, while wafers (thin slices of semiconductors) are used to make integrated circuits in solar cells.
Beijing is set to further increase its manufacturing and installation of solar panels as it seeks to master global markets and wean itself from imports. China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history.
Chinese companies produce most of the world’s solar panels, as well as the parts needed to make them. (Image: Alamy) The data shows that Chinese companies’ shares of lithium-ion battery and EV exports were less but still significant, standing at 52.3% and 23.4% respectively.
China’s cost advantage is formidable. A research unit of the European Commission calculated in a report in January that Chinese companies could make solar panels for 16 to 18.9 cents per watt of generating capacity. By contrast, it cost European companies 24.3 to 30 cents per watt, and American companies about 28 cents.
Solar panels typically must generate electricity for at least seven months to recoup the electricity needed to make them. Coal provides two-thirds of China’s electricity at low cost. But Chinese companies are reducing costs further by installing solar farms in the deserts of western China, where public land is essentially free.
At the annual session of China’s legislature earlier in March, Premier Li Qiang, the country’s second-highest official after President Xi Jinping, announced that the country would accelerate the construction of solar panel farms, as well as wind and hydroelectric projects.
