Introduction: Overview of the EU-China solar panel dispute . In 2012, the European Commission launched anti-dumping and anti-subsidy an investigation on solar panels imported from China after led a petition was by Prosun, fi the association for European solar manufacturers. As solar panel imports from China in 2011 were valued at more than EUR 20 billion, the became the …
These goals include a target for 30 GWdc of European manufacturing along the entire value chain by 2025 and 40% of installed solar PV being manufactured within the continent by 2030. Despite these ambitious goals, between 2019 and 2022, locally-made modules could not keep pace with the growth of imported panels.
The EU Solar Manufacturing map gives an overview of solar manufacturing companies active along the solar PV chain. On this map, you’ll find manufacturers spanning from polysilicon to module as well as the aggregate production capacities for each segment.
The Netherlands was the standout leader in Chinese PV imports in 2022, bringing in almost 45 GWdc alone, more than ten times the amount of panels installed domestically across the year. Spain, Germany and France also imported more panels from China than they installed from any source.
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).
The surge in European solar imports has been dramatic over the past five years, nearly quadrupling from €5.5 billion in 2018 to surpassing €20 billion last year. This growth in imports has been driven primarily by Chinese products, which accounted for a staggering €18.5 billion, or 91% of all PV import expenditure.
The EU is fully dependent on China for solar panels and at least two conventional risks are associated with this. The first is the economic risk that China might in the future make use of its predominant position in global solar PV manufacturing to distort the market and artificially obtain additional economic rents.

It will be hard for PV manufacturing companies in the EU elsewhere to or catch up with China in this generation of solar PV technologi es (i.e. crystalline silicon PV, accounting for 90 % of all installed solar panels globally). However, European, Japanese and US companies are still on a relatively equal footing with China
The EU is imposing a 47.6% tariff, rather than an 88% tariff through the lesser duty rule, which is intended only to restore a level playing field. Chinese solar producers currently take 80% of the EU market. The new import tariff is intended to protect the EU''s 25,000 jobs in solar production, and encourage the sector to grow. The Commission ...

This report lists the top Europe Solar Photovoltaic (PV) companies based on the 2023 & 2024 market share reports. Mordor Intelligence expert advisors conducted extensive research and identified these brands to be the leaders in the Europe Solar Photovoltaic (PV) industry.
Europe is planning a major ramp-up of solar-photovoltaic (PV)-based electricity to address its energy challenges, which include meeting its climate ambitions, managing a large part of its electrification, decarbonizing the electricity grid, and becoming less reliant on others.
By 2011, Chinese companies were manufacturing 21 GW of solar cells annually, representing 60% of the global total production and the export value of solar cells accounted for 60% of the global market. Out of the …
Chinese-manufactured solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are piling up in European warehouses, with approximately 40 gigawatts-direct current* (GWdc) of capacity currently in storage – the same amount installed across the continent in 2022. These solar panels in storage are worth about €7 billion and could generate enough electricity to power 20 ...
Both the EU and the US are heavily reliant on imports to meet solar PV demand, each running a trade deficit for solar PV modules and cells of about $20 billion in 2023 (Figure 6). In the face of threats to EU industrial capacity, the European Commission in 2012 investigated Chinese companies selling solar panels in Europe at far below market prices and …
Europe''s spending on solar imports has almost quadrupled in the last five years, surging from €5.5 billion in 2018 to more than €20 billion last year, while the supply source has become increasingly concentrated. An overwhelming €18.5 billion, equal to 91% of all PV import expenditure, was spent on Chinese products, as volatile panel prices impacted buying …
By the end of 2022, the European Union (EU) had become the second-largest market in terms of cumulative and annual PV capacity, following China. Notably, four individual European markets, namely Spain, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands ranked in the top 10 for annual installations, holding positions 5, 6, 8, and 10, respectively1.

Since 2011, the number of antidumping, countervailing and import duties levied against parts of the solar PV supply chain has increased from just 1 import tax to 16 duties and import taxes, with 8 additional policies under consideration. Altogether, these measures cover 15% of global demand outside of China.
