4 FAQs about [European imported solar modules]

How much does a solar module cost in Europe?

Producing a solar module in Europe with EU-made solar cells costs around €0.103 ($0.12)/W more than producing the same module in China, according to a new report.

Will EU-made solar modules be more expensive than Chinese imports?

A report by SolarPower Europe and Fraunhofer ISE finds EU-made solar modules cost €0.103 ($0.12)/W more than Chinese imports, but targeted policies could close the gap and help reach the EU’s 30 GW annual manufacturing target by 2030.

What is the EU export value of solar panels?

By contrast, the EU export value of wind turbines (€2.8 billion) was much higher than the corresponding value for imports. The EU import value of solar panels decreased by 43% between 2023 and 2024 (see Figure 2), due to a drop in prices, even though the quantity imported slightly increased by +2%.

How many Chinese solar modules are there in Europe?

There are currently over 40GW of Chinese-made solar modules in storage across Europe with a cumulative value of around €7 billion (US$7.8 billion).
