To power the planet, global solar experts are strongly committed to achieving continued growth in PV manufacturing and deployment. They believe that underestimating PV growth projections while waiting for consensus on other energy paths or last-minute technological miracles is “no longer an option.” The consensus was reached at the third annual Terrawatt Workshop, held earlier this year. Several groups around the world are making increasingly high projections for the demand for large-scale PV to drive electrification and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. With the growing acceptance of PV technology, experts suggest that by 2050, approximately 75 TW or more of PV power will be needed globally to meet decarbonization goals. Led by representatives from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Research in Germany, and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, the symposium brought together leaders from research institutions, academia, and industry from around the world in the fields of PV, grid integration, analysis, and energy storage. The 2018 conference further raised the goal to reach about 10 TW by 2030 and three times that amount by 2050. Participants at that workshop also predicted that global PV capacity would reach 1 TW within the next five years, a successful prediction, with that threshold being breached last year. Nancy Haegel, director of NREL's National Photovoltaic Center, said, "We've made great progress, but to get there, we need to keep working and keep accelerating." Haegel is the lead author of a new article in the journal Science, "Multi-Terawatt Photovoltaics: Waiting Is Not an Option. The co-authors are from 41 institutions in 15 countries." NREL Director Martin Keller said, "Time is of the essence, so we must set goals that are high-impact, ambitious, and achievable, and in the field of photovoltaic solar energy, we have made great progress and will achieve even more as we continue to innovate and act with urgency." Incident solar radiation could easily provide more than enough energy to meet the Earth's energy needs, but only a small fraction of it is available for use. Global photovoltaic power generation has increased dramatically from negligible in 2010 to 4-5% in 2022. The workshop report notes that "the window for large-scale action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting future global energy needs is closing with each passing day." Photovoltaics is one of the very few options that can be used immediately to replace fossil fuels." A major risk for the next decade is making the wrong assumptions or mistakes in modeling the growth needed for the PV industry, and then realizing too late that our failures lie in low-level expectations." Workshop participants also expressed the need to redesign solar technologies for eco-design and recycling. Installations to date have been relatively low compared to demand over the next 20 year...

The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) organised a virtual webinar promoting dialogue among Governments, development partners and regional and multilateral institutions on the regional and national perspectives for accelerating energy transformation in the ASEAN region on 21st,March 2023. Experts and scholars from China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh spoke freely about "the development potential and challenges of solar energy in Southeast Asia and South Asia". "We have a clear stance on renewable energy. The goal is to increase its share in the energy mix from the current 21% to 43% by 2030, and solar energy will play a key role in it." Former Philippine Energy Planning Agency (now Alberto Dalusung III, director of the Department of Energy and current energy transition consultant at the Center for Climate and Sustainable Cities, pointed out. Indonesia's solar radiation intensity is also very high, with an average daily radiation of about 4.8 kWh per square-meter. Beyrra Triasdian, manager of the renewable energy project department at TrendAisa, revealed that hydroelectric, solar energy, and geothermal are the three most potential renewable energy sources in Indonesia, but overall, the country's renewable energy potential far exceeds the current deployment quantity. Bangladesh plans to double the share of solar power to 20 percent by 2040, and rooftop solar power is becoming increasingly popular in the country, with many industrial parks keen to develop the project. The country plans to build 100 special economic zones by 2035, half of which will vigorously apply rooftop solar power. Pakistan's average daily solar radiation of 5.3 kilowatt hours per square meter, the country plans to install solar power systems on all government buildings in the country, and from April the federal government building will be the first to rely entirely on solar energy supply. Mirza Hamid Hassan, former secretary of Pakistan's Ministry of hydroelectric and now a senior research consultant at the Institute for Policy Studies, said Pakistan aims to increase the share of renewable energy generation to 50 percent by 2030 from the current 34 percent. Opportunities and Challenges Shahriar Ahmed Chowdhury, director of the Energy Research Center of the United National University of Bangladesh and chairman of the International Conference on Renewable Energy Technology Development Organization, noted that the area of land suitable for developing solar power plants is limited, and land ownership issues make land acquisition more difficult. In addition, the electricity infrastructure is not developed enough, the power grid has not yet achieved good interconnection, and the development of smart grid is also very slow. Indonesia is also facing challenges in infrastructure and financing. Deepen cooperation for common development According to the data from China's General Administration of Customs, the import a...

Solar energy could theoretically cover the world's electricity demand by just 0.3% of its land area. This is one of the main conclusions of new research by a group of academic institutions, led by Aarhus University in Denmark. The researchers claim that raw materials and land availability will not present real barriers to PV in its race to dominate the global energy landscape. The scientists claim that, for an average annual generation for solar of 1,370 kWh/kW, 38 million hectares would be needed. They noted that the world has a total area of 13,003 million hectares. “Hence, our current electricity consumption could be supplied by solar PV covering 0.3% of the available land,” researcher Marta Victoria told pv magazine. The researchers said conventional assumptions about global PV deployment for the years to come are generally based on land cover and cost projections that chiefly consider classic, densely packed, utility-scale power plants. They claim such projections ignore the potential of vertical PV, floating installations, agrivoltaics, and building-integrated arrays, as well as other innovative PV system configurations. “Nevertheless, these embryonic applications show that there is still room for innovation at the system level,” the academics said. “In summary, although available land can limit solar PV at local levels, it will not be a limitation at a larger scale, and therefore, we recommend that models include accurate and up-to-date constraints based on materials and land availability.” The scientists described their findings in “Solar photovoltaics is ready to power a sustainable future,” which was recently published in Joule. They said the efficiency of solar cell technologies will improve significantly in the future, and that could help to address land-limitation issues in specific locations. They also claimed that raw material availability might only be an issue only for thin-film PV tech, and not for crystalline silicon cells, which currently account for 95% of the global market. “Thanks to the increase in efficiency and the use of thinner contact fingers, the use of silver per watt has significantly reduced in the last years, and copper or aluminum could be used as a replacement if necessary,” the research group stressed. “The noncell materials in PV (glass, plastic, aluminum, concrete, and steel) are not expected to represent a limit either.” The researchers also reported that solar maintained a learning rate of 23% since 1976 and that the cost of the PV technology dropped by 23% every time the capacity doubled. “Given that the learning rate is based on module prices, it also includes the elimination of big parts of the margins in PV manufacturing due to strong competition between suppliers,” the scientists said, noting that the main factors for cost reduction are efficiency increases, economies of scale, and scientific work on silicon materials. The study also presents some challenges PV should face in the next decade. These in...

Recently, the latest data released by JMK Research, an Indian renewable energy consulting agency, shows that from January to September this year, India's newly installed photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 11.2 million kilowatts. Among them, the new installed capacity of centralized projects is about 9.3 million kilowatts, the new installed capacity of distributed projects is about 1.3 million kilowatts, and the new installed capacity of off-grid photovoltaic power generation projects is 600,000 kilowatts. "With the gradual maturity of the photovoltaic industry, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has dropped rapidly. Even though the global photovoltaic industry is facing supply shortages and price increases in some links this year, Indian companies' demand for subsidy-free photovoltaic power plants is still growing. As of the end of September, The installed capacity of subsidy-free photovoltaic power generation projects proposed and under construction in India exceeds 5 million kilowatts." said Priya Sanjay, general manager of Macomb India Research Company. Foreign media believe that in the future, as the cost of photovoltaic power generation continues to decline, the penetration rate of photovoltaic power generation will further increase in areas with better development conditions for the photovoltaic industry in India, such as western and southwestern India. We have also been paying close attention to the Indian market, and UISOLAR is confident in making achievements in this market with great potential.

According to a survey report recently released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in the first three quarters of this year, the photovoltaic power generation in the United States increased by 26.1% compared with the same period last year. According to information published by its publication Electricity Monthly, photovoltaic power generation in September 2022 increased by 21.02% compared to September last year, despite a decline in power generation from other renewable energies. Electricity generation from utility-scale photovoltaic systems increased by more than 655MW in September 2022. According to the data released by the research firm SUNDAY Campaign, despite the substantial growth of renewable energy power generation in the first three quarters of this year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts in a report that the growth of renewable energy power generation in the fourth quarter of this year may slow down. slow. According to the forecast of Ken Bossong, executive director of the SUNDAY Campaign, by 2022, renewable energy generation will account for 22% of the total electricity generation in the United States, an increase of 20% compared with last year. He continued: "While current wind and hydro generation have exceeded this level, growth in wind and hydro generation will slow in the fourth quarter of this year, which may result in renewable energy generation below this level. levels, but will still exceed the record generation in 2021." Despite an uptick in U.S. PV production in September this year, utility installations from the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2022 due to delays and disruptions in importing PV modules due to the implementation of its so-called Forced Labor Prevention Act The installed capacity of large-scale photovoltaic systems fell by 23%. This downward trend is expected to continue until 2023, until the benefits of the investment tax credit provided by the Inflation Reduction Act in 2024 start to show.

With the lights flickering, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 kicked off, and the passion of fans all over the world was once again ignited. Did you know that every ray of light illuminating the green field of the World Cup is full of "Chinese elements"? A reporter from Science and Technology Daily learned from China Power Construction Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Power China) on November 21 that just one month before the opening of the FIFA World Cup Qatar, the 800-megawatt photovoltaic power station in Alcazar, undertaken by Power China, was successfully put into operation. The full-capacity grid-connected power generation will provide strong green energy for the FIFA World Cup Qatar. As a world-class event, the power supply of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is also "world-class". "The area of Alcazar's 800 MW photovoltaic power station is equivalent to 1,400 football fields. It is the third largest single photovoltaic power station in the world and the world's largest photovoltaic power station using tracking systems and bi-facial solar modules." Power Construction Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd. Wei Yujin, the person in charge of the company's project site, introduced. Sunshine is another abundant energy resource besides oil in the Middle East. In the 10-square-kilometer desert area of Qatar’s Khalsa, the sun is shining and heat waves are rolling. The temperature is as high as 50 degrees Celsius for most of the day. With the help of Alcazar's 800 MW photovoltaic power plant, the scorching sunlight is converted into a steady stream of green electricity and sent to the Qatar World Cup Stadium. Wei Yujin introduced that the Alcazar 800 MW photovoltaic power plant is the largest non-fossil renewable energy power plant in Qatar's history. It is expected to provide Qatar with about 1.8 billion kWh of clean electricity every year, meeting the annual electricity consumption of about 300,000 households. , will be able to meet 10% of Qatar's peak electricity demand in the future, and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by about 26 million tons. The project is part of Qatar's "National Vision 2030". It pioneered Qatar's new energy photovoltaic power generation field and strongly supported Qatar's commitment to hosting the "carbon neutral" World Cup. "The 800 MW photovoltaic area of this project all adopts Chinese equipment, which accounts for more than 60% of the total investment, further enhances the market share of domestic brands in the Middle East, gives full play to the advantages of the integration of the entire industrial chain, and creates a Chinese enterprise It has a good overseas image." Li Jun, the on-site construction manager of PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd., said. Not only that, the reporter learned that PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd. has been insisting on green construction during the construction of the 800 MW photovoltaic power station in Alcazar.

Inner Mongolia has canceled the preferential electricity price policy for two months. What is the effect of this electricity price reform? The reporter conducted an investigation and interview a few days ago. During the interview, many people in the industry said that the cancellation of preferential electricity prices in Inner Mongolia is inevitable for its construction of an electricity market, which is conducive to the integration of electricity prices for strategic emerging industries with the market. I. Force enterprises to save electricity When the policy was first released, enterprises on the power generation side and power supply side were a little confused. Since the new policy involves the interests of multiple parties, it is hoped that the Development and Reform Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will fully consider the cost accounting of both parties, so as to alleviate the possible problems of new energy power stations during the windy season, influenced by the transaction price bottleneck. From the perspective of the impact on enterprises with different electricity consumption, the production and operation of enterprises with small electricity consumption are basically not affected. Enterprises with large electricity consumption will have a limited increase in the production cost of enterprises and will not affect the continuous profitability of enterprises. II. Whether it will affect photovoltaic electricity prices It takes a long time for the market to settle into a stable new electricity price. At present, the overall impact of the new policy is still in the process of market reaction."The policy will not have much impact on the photovoltaic industry." one told reporters that most of the companies stationed in Inner Mongolia are poly silicon companies. In recent years, the price of poly silicon has been at a high level. The impact of material price fluctuations on the company is gradually diminishing. According to the latest data from Changjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd., every 10,000 tons of silicon materials will affect profits by 0.5-80 million yuan. Specifically, the impact on enterprises is less than 4%. Moreover, the electricity price of the new production capacity under construction has been fully investigated, and under the action of a series of long-chain mechanisms, it has basically no impact on photovoltaic manufacturers. UISOLAR as a professional manufacturer of all kinds of solar mountings system for more than 10 years. Our company mission is Green Power, Green World, we would like to be a leading company at the forefront of the solar industry. Bringing more green solar energy by installing it at a competitive way to you around world.

A coalition of 18 organizations urged EU member states to set requirements for the installation of solar energy in all new, renovated and existing non household buildings. In a letter recently sent to the EU Energy Minister and the European Parliament, the signatory wrote that accelerating the development of solar energy in buildings is crucial to supporting the energy security in the coming winter and improving the resilience of the European energy system. In order to maximize the potential of this initiative in the EU Building Energy Efficiency Directive, the letter urged the installation of solar energy in all new and renovated buildings.This letter was signed by SolarPower Europe, a trade agency. The letter quoted data from the European Joint Research Center that building solar PV can meet 25% of Europe's annual power demand, which is equivalent to the sum of power consumption in Germany and Poland. According to SolarPower Europe, at present, seven EU countries have mandatory regulations on solar energy for renovated buildings and nine countries have mandatory regulations on solar energy for new buildings. "Now is the time to make it the norm of the European Union."

Ukraine's solar industry is stagnating because of the war. This has led to the loss of more than 1GW of capacity and halted most PV development in some areas. Despite the current war, some trade bodies have called for Ukraine's subsequent economic recovery to be led by renewable energy, with a target of 50 per cent of electricity generation from renewables by 2030. Artem Semenyshyn, CEO of the Ukrainian Solar Energy Association (ASEU), said: "As a recovery measure, we aim to build one million solar roofs across Ukraine. At the same time, Europe's gas supply crisis has morphed into a broader energy crisis, triggering price uncertainty and pushing market volatility to August 2022 heights. In Germany and France, the one-year power purchase agreement price exceeded 1,000 euros per MWh ($987 per MWh) for the first time, while in the Netherlands, the power purchase agreement price exceeded 300 euros per MWh. And recently , more and more inquirys and orders for solar roof mounting( including tile roof hooks, rails, clamps , steel rooof hooks ect) also show the increase of the solar roof projects.

High temperatures and severe drought in Europe this summer have affected hydro, nuclear and solar power generation. Statistics from the Norwegian consulting firm Rystad Energy show that in the first seven months of this year, Europe's hydropower generation decreased by 20% compared with the same period last year, and nuclear power generation decreased by 12%. High temperatures lead to increased evaporation in rivers, lakes and reservoirs, lowering water levels, and hydropower bearing the brunt. In Italy, for example, hydropower accounts for 20% of the country's total electricity production, but the country's hydropower production has plummeted by 40% in the past 12 months. Hydropower production in Spain also plunged by 44%. Energy analyst Fabien Langningen said that although hydropower production fluctuates widely, the 40% drop is "very extreme", not only in local areas, but all European hydropower majors have not been spared. Energy exporter Norway has warned that it may have to stop exporting energy to countries such as the UK if the country's reservoirs fail to recover. Insufficient investment in hydropower infrastructure and aging transmission lines are also reasons for the decline in hydropower production, some hydropower industry experts say. Eddie Ritchie, an expert at the International Hydropower Association, said: "We are going to have (power) problems this winter. This should be a wake-up call for us to invest more in infrastructure in the next few years." The drought has also affected nuclear power, with France being particularly affected. Several nuclear power plants of EDF have cut production in recent days, because the water temperature in natural waters is currently high, affecting the water used for cooling reactors in nuclear power plants. Sonia Senaviratner, a professor at ETH Zurich, explained that if the water level in the river is too low and the water temperature is too high, the cooling of the reactor can only be stopped, otherwise the discharged water will endanger the life in the river. The French government on the 5th of this month instructed a crisis response working group to coordinate the work of various departments to deal with the drought. "This is the worst drought ever recorded in France," the French prime minister's office said in a statement. High temperature weather is also not conducive to solar power generation, because photovoltaic power generation panels are "afraid of the sun", and high temperature will lead to power loss of power generation panels and shortened service life. Kathryn Porter, a consultant at energy consultancy Watt-Logic, said that when temperatures exceed 25 degrees Celsius, the output of photovoltaic panels drops significantly, and "everything works worse when the temperature is high".

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is exploring different paths to 100% emissions-free electricity in the United States. From pv magazine USA There are many paths to reach 100% emissions-free electricity. The US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has released “Examining Supply-Side Options to Achieve 100% Clean Electricity by 2035,” which looks at multiple scenarios. NREL concludes that a 90% clean grid will have a low incremental cost, and that it can be built primarily with new wind, solar, storage, and transmission. However, the last 10% will present financial challenges, requiring research and new technologies. The lab points to four “critical hurdles” to reach 100%: 1.Dramatic acceleration of electrification and increased efficiency in demand 2.New energy infrastructure installed rapidly throughout the country 3.Expanded clean energy manufacturing and supply chains 4.Continued research, development, demonstration, and deployment support to bring emerging technologies to the market (the last 10% challenge) Across all of their main scenarios, the lowest cost electricity mix is dominated by wind and solar, which provide most of the generation (60% to 80%). By the end of this decade, solar will require additions of 40 GWac to 90 GWac per year, and wind will require additions of 70 GW to 150 GW per year. By 2035, the United States will need to have added 2 TW of wind and solar combined. Other accomplishments that must also happen by 2035 include the deployment of 5 GW to 8 GW of new hydropower, 3 GW to 5 GW of geothermal, and 120 GW to 350 GW of diurnal storage. Hitting these targets will require $330 billion to $740 billion in overall capital. Another complex issue is that the models require between 1,400 and 10,100 miles of new high-capacity lines each year. NREL says this will triple the deployment volume rate being installed today. Solar in the United States will need to massively increase deployment, with installation rates two to eight times that of the 15 GW of capacity that was added in 2020. These future annual installation volumes will be 25% to 110% of the entire capacity installed throughout the world in 2020.

The listed subsidiary of PV project developer Solar Philippines plans to build an additional 3.5GW solar plant on the basis of a 500MW system under construction on the northern island of Luzon in the Philippines. Solar Philippines claims this will make it the largest PV project in the world. The cumulative capacity of the planned project is 4GW, which will surpass the current largest solar project in the world, the Bhadla solar power plant in Rajasthan, India, which has a capacity of more than 2,245MW. UISOLAR is also experienced in designing solar power plants. We have completed many projects around the world Since 2016, Solar Philippines has been able to plan a project of this scale through efforts to acquire land and permits. This batch of projects will help the company to take advantage of the basic transmission facilities built for the initial 500MW plant. The solar power station will stretch for 60 kilometers and reach Metro Manila, one of the world's largest metropolises.

Wood Mackenzie, a U.K.-based data provider,released its Global Energy Storage Outlook recently. According to the report, global cumulative energy storage deployments are expected to reach 500 GW by 2031 with the United States and China representing 75% of worldwide demand. Wood Mackenzie said it sees the U.S. becoming a 27 GW per year market by 2031, and 83 percent of that figure will be utility-scale storage. The EU energy storage sector is set to grow as a result of the European Commission's REPowerEU initiative, which drives a greater share of renewable energy supply in EU member states. Especially Germany's energy storage business is expanding and is expected to surpass the U.S. and China to become the third largest energy storage market by 2030. China released a five-year plan for energy storage this year that calls for a large-scale development supply chain by 2025, in which the country aims to reduce system costs by 30 percent through improved technology performance. UISOLAR is also committed to making a cleaner world by providing solar mounting structures all over the world. We have developed many different solar mounting solutions for specific project conditions. The general categories are solar ground mounting, solar roof mounting, solar carport mounting, etc. Customized is acceptable, even under severe conditions, and we hope to contribute to environmental protection by spreading our products around the world.

According to Solarzoom, With European battery capacity expected to reach 124GWh by 2022, major Asian battery producers will expand their presence in the region and invest in many new European giga factories. The Fraunhofer ISI Institute predicts that battery production will quadruple in the next three years to more than 500GWh; by 2030, it will reach 1.5TWh. The latest figures show that Europe is likely to accommodate about a quarter of the world's battery capacity by the end of the century, with battery factories currently announced to cover at least 15 European countries. Fraunhofer ISI forecasts that by the end of the decade, new battery production plants in Germany will contribute the highest share of Europe's 400GWh battery capacity. Battery-electric drives have become a focus of the global automotive industry as they help reduce massive greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable power storage solutions are also battery based. The growing demand for batteries requires the rapid construction of manufacturing plants that can meet the needs of different industries. Fraunhofer ISI researcher Lukas Weymann said: "The rapid development of battery production in Europe is mainly driven by European companies such as Northvolt, Volkswagen (VW) and the Automotive Cells Company (ACC). ." Northvolt is actively implementing an expansion strategy across Europe. Northvolt is targeting a maximum battery capacity of 40GWh when the company's five factories are completed. Overall, more than 40 battery makers, including non-European battery makers such as China's CATL and Tesla, have announced plans to build battery plants in Europe. These manufacturers all plan to build factories in Germany. With their Eastern European plants, South Korean battery producers LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI will also have a very high share of European battery capacity. ACC has announced the construction of gigafactories in Germany, France and Italy. ACC will gradually build battery factories in these three countries. ACC benefits from the support provided by the European Union's Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI). Automakers Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis and French battery maker Saft are all shareholders in ACC, and they will also share investment in the construction of the battery plant. India has also witnessed a sharp rise in battery demand as sales of electric vehicles increase. According to a joint report by NITI Aayog and Rocky Mountain Institute, India's annual battery market could exceed $15 billion (approximately INR 1.12 trillion) by 2030, and battery demand will was pushed up to 260GWh.

Although the price of photovoltaic supply chain has continued to be strong due to the high price of raw materials since 2022, the global demand for photovoltaic and other renewable energy has continued to rise under the energy supply shortage caused by the wave of energy transformation and international conflicts. According to PV InfoLink's analysis of China's customs export data, China's PV module exports in May reached 14.4GW, a year-on-year increase of 95%; the cumulative module exports from January to May reached 63.4GW, a year-on-year increase of 102%, and demand grew Pretty strong. From the perspective of geographical divisions, China's module exports from January to May in each of the major regional markets have grown quite strongly, with an increase of more than 40% compared to the same period last year. On the whole, except for the Asia-Pacific market, which has fluctuated greatly after India imposed BCD tariffs in April, the demand for Chinese modules in other regional markets is relatively stable, and the European market is growing month by month. European market As of May, seven countries have imported more than 1GW of PV modules from China. Among them, the Netherlands, the largest importer and a major European transshipment port, has even imported 16.5GW of modules, a year-on-year increase of 100%. The Netherlands is expected to this year. There will be a 4GW component requirement. This year, Germany and Spain, which are the top two in terms of module demand in the European market, imported 2.1 and 4.7GW of modules in total, and the year-on-year growth has more than doubled. Germany and Spain are expected to have a module demand of 7.0 GW this year. Other countries with estimated module demand exceeding 1GW, such as Poland, Greece, Portugal and France, have also imported more than 1GW of Chinese modules. The European market will still be the region with the highest demand for photovoltaic products outside China this year. As the renewable energy policies of European countries become clearer, for example, Germany proposed a new Renewable Energy Act (EEG) bill on 4/8, planning to achieve a cumulative photovoltaic installation of 215GW before 2030, and the annual installation volume before 2025 will gradually increase To 18GW, the annual installed capacity in the next five years will reach 22GW. The policies of the EU and other European countries are also gradually planned. Under the general trend of demand growth, the European market will still be the main export of Chinese modules in the future. With the clear growth path of European market demand, PV InfoLink has raised the module demand in the European market for the whole year of 2022, which is expected to reach more than 55GW. Under optimistic circumstances, it may even exceed the module demand of 65GW.
