Solar PV is the fastest-growing and most cost-effective electricity source worldwide. Its supply chains, however, are heavily concentrated, exposing Europe to operational, economic, and geopolitical risks.
The Reshoring Solar Manufacturing to Europe report, commissioned by SolarPower Europe and conducted by Fraunhofer ISE, quantifies the cost gap and lays out the policy levers needed for reshoring solar module module manufacturing in line with the EU Net- Zero Industry Act (NZIA) ambitions for 2030.
Commencing with an outlook on the global PV manufacturing landscape, the study calculates the production cost of PV modules and their components, based on an analysis performed by Fraunhofer ISE, NREL and RCT Solutions, to determine the existing cost gap in different key regions and potential reduction pathways for Europe.
