Does Germany rely on Chinese solar?
However, Nils Redeker, industrial policy expert and deputy director at the Jacques Delors Centre, says the comparison between Germany's dependence on Chinese solar goods and its former reliance on Russian gas is flawed. "If the conflict with China comes to a head, it could hurt Germany's solar installation plans.
Is China a problem for Germany's solar power industry?
The great reliance on hardware supply from China is causing concern among Germany’s solar power industry, public broadcaster BR reports.
Are German solar companies taking over the world's solar power supply chain?
He says that starting around a decade ago, German companies watched as their Chinese rivals took over every step of the global solar power supply chain. Last year, China made 97% of the silicon wafers that go into solar panels and more than three-quarters of the world's solar panels themselves.
Will Germany resurrect a solar power industry?
For Germany, it would mean resurrecting a solar power industry that last experienced a boom more than a decade ago and has since succumbed to competition in China, which has come to dominate the market.
Is Germany reviving the solar industry?
Germany was a pioneer in the solar power industry, but succumbed to competition from China. Now, Germany — and the European Union — are trying to revitalize the industry once again.
Could Germany be a better place for solar power?
Beyond increasing the rollout of rooftop solar arrays, Germany could also increase the space that is suitable for the renewable power technology by dedicating more farm land for so-called agri PV, researchers from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University found.
