Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.
In addition, China is responsible for the processing of rare earth elements that are mined abroad. China worked hard to maintain its position as a leader in the production of assembled PVs and their parts. The country has also majorly invested in installed capacities. In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone.
In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone. That is about 37 % of the global installed capacity. Dominating the solar industry encouraged China to set some trade quotas and restrictions that put the supply chain of solar PVs, and thin film PVs in particular, at great risk.
The Chinese companies supply around 200 countries’ needs of solar PVs, besides their domestic demand. Furthermore, to level up the competition, China invests in South Asian neighboring countries’ solar projects. Investments in Vietnam, Malaysia, and other countries, made them worthy opponents able to supply the rest of the world as well.
The announcement of subsidy phase-out led to a larger energy “rebound effect”. They adjusted electricity usage patterns to maximize revenue from solar electricity. With the impending post-subsidy era, the Chinese government has initiated significant reductions in household photovoltaic (PV) subsidies.
China has already made major commitments to transitioning its energy systems towards renewables, especially power generation from solar, wind and hydro sources. However, there are many unknowns about the future of solar energy in China, including its cost, technical feasibility and grid compatibility in the coming decades.
