Chinese solar-panel makers are winning with an unassailable lead: they now account for 80 per cent of global production capacity. But the cost of that victory is now looking too high. China dominates the solar panel sector’s entire supply chain. Prices, which are nearly two-thirds lower than US counterparts, have helped it to win market share.
The company’s U.S. projects could tap renewable energy manufacturing subsidies provided by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. China’s cost advantage is formidable. A research unit of the European Commission calculated in a report in January that Chinese companies could make solar panels for 16 to 18.9 cents per watt of generating capacity.
This allows the shipments to avoid trade barriers, like tariffs imposed on many Chinese imports by President Donald J. Trump. Several of China’s biggest solar panel manufacturers are building final assembly plants in the United States to tap subsidies offered as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
TCL said it plans to split the Shanghai-listed solar manufacturer into three companies. It will inject more than RMB2 billion ($285.8 million) to help Zhonghuan develop its semiconductor and PV businesses. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) said on Wednesday that new residential PV installations hit 767.5 MW in June – a monthly record.
Chinese makers are able to build over 860 gigawatts of solar modules annually. The biggest advantage Chinese companies have is scale. Due to the sheer size of the domestic market — which added a record 217 gigawatts of solar last year — companies invested heavily in larger scale manufacturing and automation. That is paying off today.
Solar panels typically must generate electricity for at least seven months to recoup the electricity needed to make them. Coal provides two-thirds of China’s electricity at low cost. But Chinese companies are reducing costs further by installing solar farms in the deserts of western China, where public land is essentially free.
