China controls about 95% of manufacturing in critical solar technologies, and a new draft proposal might mean that some of the key building blocks to make solar panels will stay in China, raising the cost of green energy around the world.
The proposed rules will put advanced technologies used to make ingots and wafers, key parts that make up solar panels, on a list of export controls, according to a public consultation process jointly published in December by China’s Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology.
China unleashed the full might of its solar energy industry last year. It installed more solar panels than the United States has in its history. It cut the wholesale price of panels it sells by nearly half. And its exports of fully assembled solar panels climbed 38 percent while its exports of key components almost doubled.
China is considering new export restrictions on solar manufacturing technologies to boost its global dominance in the solar industry.
China hopes to harness emerging industries like solar power, which Mr. Xi likes to describe as “new productive forces,” to re-energize an economy that has slowed for more than a decade. The emphasis on solar power is the latest installment in a two-decade program to make China less dependent on energy imports.
China controls about 95% of the world’s polysilicon and wafers, and “the world will almost completely rely on China for the supply of key building blocks for solar panel production through 2025,” according to a July report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
