    EU may launch solar import investigation

    Dec 01, 2023

    On November 29, more than 400 solar industry companies in Europe launched a joint appeal urging policymakers to stop trade investigations that may lead to the EU imposing tariffs on imported solar products. The call comes ahead of a meeting on Friday between solar industry chiefs, national ministers and EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton to review measures to bring production back to Europe. Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, the European photovoltaic industry association, said: "Ahead of Friday's industry roundtable, we received worrying signals that the measures will include an investigation into import and export restrictions." European solar power companies participating in the joint call said signatories include 18 manufacturers and 28 national associations and research institutions. All parties agreed that tariff restrictions should not include imported photovoltaic products. The EU's goal is for the EU's installed solar capacity to reach 600 GW by 2030, approximately three times that of 2022, and deployment needs to be significantly accelerated. The group said tariffs would only slow the process. They also expressed support for restructuring some solar manufacturing to meet the EU's target of 30GW of production capacity by 2025. Previously, the EU set restrictions on the import of Chinese solar panels, cells and silicon wafers from 2013 to 2018. Now, more than 90% of silicon wafers and components come from China. The EU has launched a countervailing investigation into Chinese electric vehicles and will review foreign subsidies in the wind power industry to ensure that clean technology manufacturing takes place in Europe and reduce dependence on China.

  • Photovoltaic module prices may drop to US$0.10/watt by the end of 2024

    Photovoltaic module prices may drop to US$0.10/watt by the end of 2024

    Nov 28, 2023

    Recently, Tim Buckley, director of the Australian think tank Climate Energy Finance (CEF), said that by the end of 2024 or 2025, solar module prices may reach the threshold of $0.10 per watt. “This would significantly exceed the $0.10 per watt predicted by Dr. Martin Green three years ago.” He added that by the end of the century, new PV installations could already be between 600 gigawatts and 1 terawatt per year. this conclusion. “I am very optimistic about the growth of global PV installations in the coming years. Buckley also pointed out that at a time when investment costs are soaring, the opportunity to invest in deflationary solar is a huge positive, reducing pressure on the cost of living and improving energy security. Buckley said price pressure will increase globally due to the dizzying capacity increases announced by the solar industry, although he questioned the International Energy Agency's (IEA) recent forecasts in its World Energy Outlook 2023. According to the International Energy Agency, by 2025, the global cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity may reach 2 terawatts. "I think it's ridiculous for the IEA to think that the Chinese will only run their brand new factories 35 percent of the time," he added. “If these new capacities were operational for a full year, the IEA data would be expected to understate annual global PV installations by more than 50%. Buckley estimates that solar panel prices will drop 40% this year. "This will give many investors in the United States, India, the European Union and China good reason to pause or reconsider the financial assumptions on which they have announced large-scale capacity expansions," he said. “In contrast, the U.S. and India both have import tariffs on solar modules that are 40% higher than Chinese products, so they are largely insulated from excessive price competition and have also benefited from a 70% cost drop in polysilicon prices last year save.

  • Scottish Government Commits to 4-6GW of Installed PV Capacity by 2023

    Scottish Government Commits to 4-6GW of Installed PV Capacity by 2023

    Nov 09, 2023

    The Scottish government has said that it has committed to installing between 4GW and 6GW of PV systems by 2030, with the support of industry players. According to a document released by the Scottish government, this commitment is dependent on large-scale PV projects delivering appropriate levels of economic and community benefits. Scottish Renewables, a leading renewable energy lobby group in Scotland, welcomed the news in a press release, and the target will be included in the Scottish government's upcoming energy strategy and just transition plan. Helen Melone, senior policy manager at Scottish Renewables, said in her press release that this commitment from the Scottish government is a goal that the association has been calling for for a long time. But she added that the Scottish government must develop a clear plan with key milestones to show how it will achieve them. This plan should cover targets for commercial rooftop PV systems, domestic rooftop PV systems, and ground-mounted utility-scale PV systems, and it must ensure that Scotland's public sector fully utilizes the PV generation potential of its buildings by 2030, she said. In January, the Scottish Government published a draft Energy Strategy and a Just Transition Plan, which is the country's roadmap for realizing its "climate change ambitions". According to the draft plan, the final version is expected to be published in 2023. Industry media have asked the Scottish Government when the final plan will be published, but have not yet received a response. The draft policy states that the Scottish Government wants to achieve a target of installing 20GW of low-cost renewable energy generation by 2030. However, unlike other renewables such as onshore wind, it does not include a specific PV installation target. The draft foreshadows a final version with these milestones specific to PV systems. According to data published by Scottish Renewables, the cumulative installed onshore wind capacity in Scotland was 9GW as of the first quarter of 2023, accounting for more than half of the total cumulative installed renewable energy capacity of 14GW. This compares to the lowest installed capacity of photovoltaic systems installed at 522MW. However, the Scottish Government's Draft Energy Strategy and Transformation Plan indicate a willingness to increase the installed capacity of PV systems. In this draft, the Scottish Government states, "We see a strong role for photovoltaic (PV) systems and for domestic and commercial PV systems combined with battery storage systems, which has the potential to help reduce consumers' electricity bills." The draft document states that the Climate Emergency Skills Action Plan 2020 to 2025, published by the Scottish Government, establishes a framework for creating and supporting the PV industry workforce. The PV industry workforce reportedly has skills gaps in installation and maintenance. The draft also refers to the target it has set to provide incentives from April 2023 ...

    France, January June 2023 photovoltaic installation data released!

    Oct 08, 2023

    In the first half of 2023, France's solar installed capacity was 1378MW, compared to 1233MW in the same period last year. From January to June, France's solar power generation reached 11.2 TWh, a year-on-year increase of 18%. Solar power generation accounts for 4.7% of France's electricity consumption, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%. As of June 30, 2023, the installed solar capacity in France is 18GW, of which 17.3GW is domestically produced. In the first half of 2023, the Auvergne Rh ô ne Alpes, Occitanie, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Provence Alpes C ô ted 'Azur and PaysdelaLoire regions played an important role in expanding solar power generation. These regions together account for 67% of the newly added grid connected capacity in China. Although it only accounts for 0.2% of the total number of new grid connected equipment, between January and June, approximately 39% of the power generation came from new devices above 250kW. Equipment with smaller power, especially those below 9kW, account for 94% of new grid connected equipment and 24% of newly generated electricity. The capacity of ongoing projects has experienced a significant increase, increasing by 19% since the beginning of the year to 20.1GW. Among these projects, 4.49GW have signed a grid connection agreement. In France, 41.6% of photovoltaic installation comes from self use power generation projects (accounting for 78.5% of installed capacity), an increase of 1.2% compared to the previous quarter. The installed capacity of self use projects is 297GWh, accounting for 3.9% of the total photovoltaic power generation in this quarter. In August, the French Ministry of Ecology and Solidarity and Transformation announced the list of winning bidders for the fifth round of commercial and industrial rooftop solar projects, which have a power generation capacity of over 500kW and a total power generation capacity of 378MW. The average quotation of 60 winning bidders is 0.1019 euros (approximately 0.1102 US dollars)/kWh. The European Parliament and Council have temporarily agreed to raise the EU's binding renewable energy target from 32% to at least 42.5% by 2030. This means that the proportion of renewable energy in the EU will double.
