This special report examines solar PV supply chains from raw materials all the way to the finished product, spanning the five main segments of the manufacturing process: polysilicon, ingots,
Today, China''s share in all the manufacturing stages of solar panels (such as polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells and modules) exceeds 80%. This is more than double China''s share of global PV
There are persistent allegations in relation to labour transfer schemes in China''s north-western Xinjiang province.14 The United Nations (UN) has raised serious concerns that these
Today, China''s share in all the manufacturing stages of solar panels (such as polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells and modules) exceeds 80%. This is more
In that last year, the global solar PV chain reached an industrial business value of some 104.7 billion U.S. dollars, with China dominating the market, and followed by the United
Within the U.S., Chinese-owned solar module facilities are set to dominate onshore U.S. Our accounting shows that Chinese-owned facilities account for 39% of total U.S.
NLR conducts detailed supply chain analysis for specific photovoltaic module technologies. These analyses include production locations, supply chain risk and costs, and

Since the end of 2024, SEIA estimates that U.S. solar cell production capacity has more than tripled, rising from 1 GW to 3.2 GW. In addition to the components shown in the
Because diversification is one of the key strategies for reducing supply chain risks, the report assesses the opportunities and challenges of developing solar PV supply chains in terms of
As solar PV plays an increasingly large role in supplying power, U.S. manufacturing of solar modules and their component parts (silicon wafers, ingots, and cells) is poised for
Since the end of 2024, SEIA estimates that U.S. solar cell production capacity has more than tripled, rising from 1 GW to 3.2 GW.
