6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic cell factories have stopped production on a large scale]

Are Chinese photovoltaic cells a dumping stance in Europe?

The amount of Chinese photovoltaic cells in storage was enough to cover Europe’s overall annual demand twice over, it said. Chinese companies had now taken “a dumping stance in the European market”, offering two-year contracts with prices “consistently undercutting” spot market prices.

Will '516 photovoltaic New Deal' affect Longi Green Energy?

LONGi Green Energy decided to shut down the module factories in the above areas, which may be affected by the U.S. "516 Photovoltaic New Deal".

What is driving the mass wave of solar manufacturer capacity expansions?

The China-based PV manufacturing industry has been in a massive capacity expansion phase since 2019. This intensified in the first quarter of 2020, but had eased off throughout the year and cumulative figures are jaw dropping, leading to real fears of overcapacity in 2021.

How many solar panels have been cancelled in 2023?

Between June 2023 and February 2024, at least eight companies cancelled or suspended more than 59 GW of new production capacity, equivalent to 6.9% of China's total finished panel production capacity in 2023, according to the China Photovoltaic Industry Association.

Will bifacial solar panels make up half the market in 2022?

Bifacial solar panels are expected to account for about half the market in 2022, up from approximately 14 percent last year. Solar panel producers in China are asking the government to approve new factories to prevent glass price increases from making solar power too expensive.

How will import bans affect the solar panel industry?

Import bans would significantly impact the solar panel industry because two-thirds of the world’s polysilicon market is controlled by five companies in Mainland China and Hong Kong by 2021. The industry lacks diversity in its supply chain.
