Chinese solar companies agreed to reduce over-production and self-regulate after a price war and oversupply hurt profits, agreed at a CPIA meeting. From early 2023, overcapacity decreased the prices of key solar components up to 48%, leading to significant losses, with five major firms losing over 10 billion yuan.
Since the year 2013, the European Union established trade restrictions on Chinese solar panels. This removed a large percentage of Chinese solar panels from the European market and consequently led to increased cost of panels. The high cost of such products resulted in slow growth of the renewable energy sector.
ction costs among China's PV manufacturers. The swift price decrease, prompted by cost reductions in combination with alleged state subsidies, allowed Chinese PV manufacturers to outcompete their European and North American
China has been instrumental in bringing down costs worldwide for solar PV, with multiple benefits for clean energy transitions. At the same time, the level of geographical concentration in global supply chains also creates potential challenges that governments need to address. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0
The price reduction on the industrial chain has brought very obvious operational pressures to the companies. Judging from the quarterly reports, the losses of these companies have increased, and the net profits of these leading PV companies in Q1 have all declined year-on-year.
