6 FAQs about [1800 yuan per set of photovoltaic panels]
Why are China's solar panels so expensive?
China accounts for 80% of solar module production capacity after years of subsidies, driving oversupply that has triggered a collapse in global prices and provoked import duties from trading partners to stave off being swamped by low-cost equipment.
Could China's 'all-time high' solar power supply cause a price drop?
Pent-up demand from what one source calls “all-time high” procurement, with China’s National Energy Administration approving a third batch of Gigawatt-base power projects, means falling prices could find a floor. According to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the country is set to install up to 120 GW of solar power in 2023.
What is China's production capacity for solar modules?
At the end of 2023, China's annual production capacity for finished solar modules was 861 gigawatts (GW) equivalent according to China Photovoltaic Industry Association data, more than double global module installations of 390 GW.
Does China Export solar panels?
In the first half of 2022, China’s exports of solar panels amounted to 78.7 GW, an increase of 102% year-on-year. China’s leading PV companies derive from 50% to 80% of their revenue from outside China. Will the drop in the price of silicon translate into lower prices for foreign customers of Chinese solar panels?
How will lower solar costs affect China's PV industry in 2023?
For one thing, silicon materials will not be a bottleneck restricting demand, and the first impact of the lower upstream costs is an increase in production of the downstream solar panels and components. Lower production costs will likely give a boost to both local and foreign demand in China’s PV industry in 2023.
Will China's crowded solar power sector keep global prices low?
Consolidation in China's crowded solar power sector is pushing smaller players out of the market, but excess production capacity - with more on the way - threatens to keep global prices low for years.
