How will China's solar expansion affect global solar supply chains?
After investing over US$130 billion into the solar industry in , China will hold more than 80% of the world’s polysilicon, wafer, cell, and module manufacturing capacity from to , according to a recent report by Wood Mackenzie titled “How will China’s expansion affect global solar module supply chains?”.
How big is the solar manufacturing industry?
To meet this growing demand, the solar manufacturing industry has experienced remarkable growth in the last few years, with global module manufacturing capacity increasing form only 326 gigawatts in to more than 1.3 terawatts in .
How many jobs will the solar PV industry create?
The solar PV industry could create 1 300 manufacturing jobs for each gigawatt of production capacity. The solar PV sector has the potential to double its number of direct manufacturing jobs to 1 million by . The most job-intensive segments along the PV supply chain are module and cell manufacturing.
How can the solar PV industry support growing demand?
Annual investment levels need to double throughout the supply chain. Critical sectors such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers would attract the majority of investment to support growing demand. The solar PV industry could create 1 300 manufacturing jobs for each gigawatt of production capacity.
