    China's PV module exports in May increased by 95% year-on-year to 14.4GW

    Jul 14, 2022

    Although the price of photovoltaic supply chain has continued to be strong due to the high price of raw materials since 2022, the global demand for photovoltaic and other renewable energy has continued to rise under the energy supply shortage caused by the wave of energy transformation and international conflicts. According to PV InfoLink's analysis of China's customs export data, China's PV module exports in May reached 14.4GW, a year-on-year increase of 95%; the cumulative module exports from January to May reached 63.4GW, a year-on-year increase of 102%, and demand grew Pretty strong. From the perspective of geographical divisions, China's module exports from January to May in each of the major regional markets have grown quite strongly, with an increase of more than 40% compared to the same period last year. On the whole, except for the Asia-Pacific market, which has fluctuated greatly after India imposed BCD tariffs in April, the demand for Chinese modules in other regional markets is relatively stable, and the European market is growing month by month. European market As of May, seven countries have imported more than 1GW of PV modules from China. Among them, the Netherlands, the largest importer and a major European transshipment port, has even imported 16.5GW of modules, a year-on-year increase of 100%. The Netherlands is expected to this year. There will be a 4GW component requirement. This year, Germany and Spain, which are the top two in terms of module demand in the European market, imported 2.1 and 4.7GW of modules in total, and the year-on-year growth has more than doubled. Germany and Spain are expected to have a module demand of 7.0 GW this year. Other countries with estimated module demand exceeding 1GW, such as Poland, Greece, Portugal and France, have also imported more than 1GW of Chinese modules. The European market will still be the region with the highest demand for photovoltaic products outside China this year. As the renewable energy policies of European countries become clearer, for example, Germany proposed a new Renewable Energy Act (EEG) bill on 4/8, planning to achieve a cumulative photovoltaic installation of 215GW before 2030, and the annual installation volume before 2025 will gradually increase To 18GW, the annual installed capacity in the next five years will reach 22GW. The policies of the EU and other European countries are also gradually planned. Under the general trend of demand growth, the European market will still be the main export of Chinese modules in the future. With the clear growth path of European market demand, PV InfoLink has raised the module demand in the European market for the whole year of 2022, which is expected to reach more than 55GW. Under optimistic circumstances, it may even exceed the module demand of 65GW.

  • Cancel PV VAT! UK plans to reach 70GW of PV installations by 2035

    Cancel PV VAT! UK plans to reach 70GW of PV installations by 2035

    Apr 15, 2022

    According to foreign media reports, the British government recently released an energy security strategy shows that the goal of increasing the country's installed photovoltaic power generation capacity by five times. The strategy is in response to growing uncertainty in the energy sector, recent high oil prices, and volatility over the past month due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “We are developing a bold plan to expand and accelerate the development of cheap, clean and safe energy in the UK over the next decade, from new nuclear to offshore wind. This will reduce our vulnerability to prices. Volatility affects international energy dependence, and we can achieve energy self-sufficiency using cheaper electricity.” Regarding how to facilitate the deployment of photovoltaic systems, the UK government is planning to negotiate rules to simplify the roll out of photovoltaic systems and will help the photovoltaic industry create 10,000 jobs by 2028, which is almost double what was previously expected. Under the strategy, residential and commercial rooftop PV developers will be consulted on relevant permit development rights to radically simplify the planning process and will consider the best way to utilize public sector rooftop PV systems. The last revision to the licensed development rights for rooftop PV in the UK was in 2015, when the licensed development threshold for rooftop PV was raised from 50kW to 1MW. The UK government will also revise performance standards to make installing PV systems a must-have for new homes and buildings. The recent removal of VAT on residential PV systems in the UK is evidence that the strategy is already supporting the technology. For the installation of large-scale photovoltaic systems, the UK government will negotiate changes to planning rules to strengthen policies in favour of development on non-protected land. This includes ensuring that the community continues to be able to have a voice on developments and working to protect the environment. The British Photovoltaic Association welcomed the release of the strategy, claiming that by 2035, installed PV systems in the UK will grow from the current 14GW to 70GW, a fivefold increase in installed capacity and more jobs. Chris Hewett, chief executive of the British Photovoltaic Association, said, “The UK government’s plan to increase installed PV system capacity by a factor of five by 2035 shows that it now has goals in line with the UK PV industry. The announced plans, CFD auctions and potential Changes to the low-cost financing package could significantly speed up the deployment of PV systems and create thousands of jobs, cut energy bills and make the UK more energy secure."
