What Happened: On May 22, 2024, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) issued a proposal (the "Proposal") to implement new tariffs announced earlier this month by President Biden on certain items imported from China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. [1] That provision authorizes the USTR to investigate unfair trade barriers and impose measures to
Europe, the United States, and India imported 84 %, 77 %, and 75 %, respectively, of installed solar PV modules between 2017 and 2021 (IEA, 2022a). In addition, the modules that they produced domestically relied on 60 %−80 % of imported cells from China (IEA, 2022a).
In addition, China contributed to about 70 % of the global module production in 2021, a 20 % increase from 2010 (IEA, 2022a). Europe, the United States, and India imported 84 %, 77 %, and 75 %, respectively, of installed solar PV modules between 2017 and 2021 (IEA, 2022a).
The increased installed capacity, the heavy manufacturing, and the availability of materials on its domestic land allowed China to control the global solar market by imposing quotas and restrictions on importing countries. We have shown that China alone installed more than 50 % of the total Asian solar capacity in the span of 25 years.
As discussed in the previous sections, China was able to dominate the solar industry market. Incentives and government subsidies dating from 2009 onwards helped secure the lead in the world for solar power production since 2017 (Liu et al., 2022; Chowdhury et al., 2020).
The Chinese companies supply around 200 countries’ needs of solar PVs, besides their domestic demand. Furthermore, to level up the competition, China invests in South Asian neighboring countries’ solar projects. Investments in Vietnam, Malaysia, and other countries, made them worthy opponents able to supply the rest of the world as well.
Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.
