Executive summary – Solar PV Global Supply Chains

Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe

Photovoltaic storage and charging microgrid industry supply chain

6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic storage and charging microgrid industry supply chain]

Are solar PV supply chains cost-competitive?

Currently, the cost competitiveness of existing solar PV manufacturing is a key challenge to diversifying supply chains. China is the most cost-competitive location to manufacture all components of the solar PV supply chain. Costs in China are 10% lower than in India, 20% lower than in the United States, and 35% lower than in Europe.

How can solar PV supply chain diversification reduce supply chain risks?

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.

How has global solar PV manufacturing capacity changed over the last decade?

Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since 2011.

Which microgrid site has the largest sizing of PV and battery?

The California site has the largest sizing of PV and battery due to significant value from retail bill savings, demand response, and wholesale markets. The value achieved by the addition of PV and battery is large enough to offset the added cost of the microgrid, and this is the only site to have a positive net present value.

Can photovoltaic systems and wind energy resources be integrated into microgrids?

Integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind energy resources (WERs) into microgrids presents challenges due to their inherent unpredictability. This paper proposes deterministic and probabilistic sustainable energy management (SEM) solutions for microgrids connected to the main power system.

Is solar PV a cost-competitive source of energy in China?

In this case, the cost advantage of solar PV could be further amplified. The decline in costs for solar power and storage systems offers opportunity for solar-plus-storage systems to serve as a cost-competitive source for the future energy system in China.
