Bloomberg Opinion''s climate columnist visited Michigan, the former heart of the solar industry, and China to learn how good, old-fashioned capitalism won out.
Solar manufacturers across China have been laying off thousands of workers to cut costs – and those workers may be the lucky ones because they qualify for severance pay. Other big solar companies have resorted to tactics like giving year-long unpaid vacations or 30% pay cuts for employees who keep their jobs.

Chapter 2: Top 10 Solar Panel Brands in China. In the realm of solar energy, certain manufacturers stand out for their quality, innovation, and global reach. Below is a brief overview of the top 10 solar panel manufacturers in China, with a more detailed examination available in the article "Top 10 Best Solar Panel Manufacturers In China" here.
China is now able to produce more than twice as many solar modules as the world installs each year. Read more in our series on solar energy: This massive expansion in supply has helped drive down the cost of renewable energy for consumers, acting as a counterweight to the rising cost of capital needed to develop solar farms.
Wood Mackenzie forecasts that China’s solar industry will expand capacity to nearly 1,700 GW by 2026. State support for the industry is contributing to the supply glut. For decades leaders of municipal and provincial governments in China have sought to build local solar industries that hire from their populations and contribute taxes.
China’s solar industry is dominant across every stage of the global supply chain, from the polysilicon to the finished product. Module production capacity in the country reached roughly 1,000 gigawatts (GW) last year, almost five times that of the rest of the world combined, according to Wood Mackenzie, a consultancy.
China's dominance of the global solar market may expose the solar supply chain to a greater risk of disruptions from geopolitical disputes, extreme weather, and shifts in the economy, Seaver Wang, a researcher involved in the study, told Insider.
Washington is planning to double import tariffs on the country’s solar equipment to 50 per cent, and is also going after Chinese companies that have set up factories in South-east Asia. Trade relations between Beijing and the European Union, a major market for Chinese solar equipment, are also deteriorating.
“It’s still going to be a pretty painful year, and maybe longer before that capacity gets cleared.” The Chinese solar industry’s current predicament can be traced back three years ago, when a surge in demand for panels boosted prices and unlocked ambitious expansion plans that resulted in far too much supply.
