Special Report on Solar PV Global Supply Chains Solar PV is a crucial pillar of clean energy transitions worldwide, underpinning efforts to reach international energy and climate goals. Over the last decade, the amount of solar PV deployed around the world has increased massively while its costs have declined drastically.
The solar PV manufacturing supply chain is influenced by factors such as land, energy, capital, and labor. However, government industrial policies play a critical role in shaping viable supply chains. Polysilicon production requires significant capital investments and skilled labor.
Because diversification is one of the key strategies for reducing supply chain risks, the report assesses the opportunities and challenges of developing solar PV supply chains in terms of job creation, investment requirements, manufacturing costs, emissions and recycling.
Use advanced methods such as blockchain and artificial intelligence to enhance transparency in transactions and help monitor the supply chain effectively to prevent potential bottlenecks: Governments should be able to track and monitor the supply chain of the solar PVs from the mining until the installation and possibly recycling.
In 2021, the value of China's solar PV exports was over USD 30 billion, almost 7% of China's trade surplus over the last five years. In addition, Chinese investments in Malaysia and Viet Nam also made these countries major exporters of PV products, accounting for around 10% and 5% respectively of their trade surpluses since 2017.
The EU mostly imports PV modules from China, which for the last decade has remained the global leader in PV manufacturing across the supply chain. This article aims to provide insight into the solar PV industry and the surrounding policy context, focusing on the manufacturing phase and its climate impact.
