configuration, China controls the standards and can affect the competitiveness of other regions.Future EU PV ingot and wafer manufacturing needs well-designed policy mak
Over the past decade, the crystalline-silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) industry has grown rapidly and developed a truly global supply chain, driven by increasing consumer demand for PV as well as technical advances in cell performance and manufacturing processes that enabled dramatic cost reductions.
We assume polysilicon is produced by emerging low-cost manufacturers in rural China, and wafers, cells, and modules are produced in urban China, which remains the leading area for these elements of the supply chain. Manufacturing in rural China results in the lowest-MSP wafers, cells, and modules.
Global capacity for manufacturing wafers and cells, which are key solar PV elements, and for assembling them into solar panels (also known as modules), exceeded demand by at least 100% at the end of 2021. By contrast, production of polysilicon, the key material for solar PV, is currently a bottleneck in an otherwise oversupplied supply chain.
In the first half of 2024, China's PV manufacturing sector continued to grow. According to the CPIA, the polysilicon, silicon wafers, cells and module output grew more than 30 percent year on year. PV module exports increased by nearly 20 percent. "The downstream mainly involves the construction and operation of the power generation system.
