Eastern European solar cell modules

How many solar PV modules are made in Europe?

Today, at least 38 European solar PV module production equipment manufacturers operate on the continent, in nine countries (DE, FR, IT, NL, CH, ES, HU, FI, NO). Most - 75% - are active in the cells and modules equipment manufacturing segment.

What is the EU solar manufacturing map?

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.

Is Eastern Europe a promising market for solar energy deployment?

Eastern Europe indeed represents a promising market with untapped potential in solar energy deployment, given its early-stage market development. Solar energy, being highly competitive and increasingly cost-effective, is expected to play a key role in the region’s energy future.

What is the role of European companies in the solar industry?

In the solar sector, European companies originally played a key role in developing the production equipment needed for the mass production of solar wafers, cells, and modules. While the rise of China’s solar manufacturing sector initially provided a significant export market, a highly competitive local industry has since emerged.
