Technical FAQs 4

How much does a solar module cost in Europe?

Producing a solar module in Europe with EU-made solar cells costs around €0.103 ($0.12)/W more than producing the same module in China, according to a new report.

Where do solar panels come from in Europe?

However, the bulk of the demand for solar modules in Europe is covered by imports. Currently, 97% of the solar panels imported into the EU come from China. The charter sets out a series of voluntary actions to be undertaken to support the EU photovoltaic sector.

How many solar panels does the EU need a year?

From 2024, the EU needs to install at least 70 GW of solar per year to reach its climate targets. The European Commission calls solar the ‘kingpin’ of REPowerEU – the continent’s effort to get off Russian gas. Solar panels are even featured prominently on a REPowerEU banner at the European Commission headquarters.

Why are European solar module manufacturers struggling in 2023 & 2024?

In 2023 and 2024, European solar module manufacturers have faced a particular challenge due to a sharp drop in the prices of imported panels.
