6 FAQs about [Solar support exported to Europe]

Which countries export solar panels in the EU?

The largest extra-EU export destination for wind turbines was the United Kingdom (30%), followed by the United States (18%). China (98%) was by far the largest partner for extra-EU imports of solar panels in 2023 (see Figure 5). The largest extra-EU export destinations for solar panels were Switzerland (31%) and the United Kingdom (25%).

Why are China's solar panels exported to Europe?

Notably, around 80 percent of China’s solar panels were exported to the European market during this period (Cao and Groba, 2013), driven by the generous feed-in-tariffs provided by EU governments to accelerate the deployment of solar energy (Grau et al, 2012).

What was the EU export value of solar panels in 2023?

The EU import values of solar panels and liquid biofuels in 2023 were much higher than the corresponding EU export values which were €0.9 billion for solar panels and €2.2 billion for liquid biofuels. By contrast, the EU export value of wind turbines in 2023 (€2.0 billion) was much higher than the corresponding value for imports.

Why should the EU support domestic solar panels?

Source: Bruegel based on Ignaciuk (2023). This leaves the third reason – resilience – as the only possible justification for supporting domestic manufacturing. The EU is fully dependent on China for solar panels and at least two conventional risks are associated with this.

How many solar panels does China Export in 2023?

Solar modules, which are fully assembled solar panels, accounted for 90% ($23.8 bn) of China’s total solar exports by value in the first half of 2023. Over the last 12 months, China exported 111 GW of solar modules to Europe, the same amount as the total installed PV capacity of the United States.

Will China Export 78 GW of solar energy to the EU-27?

First and foremost, the 78 GW of China PV export to the EU-27 by the end of August must be considered with caution. The calculations are made by Ember, a London based independent energy think tank. The General Administration of Customs People’s Republic of China does NOT release the solar export capacity (in MW or GW).
