6 FAQs about [Europe is crazy about stockpiling photovoltaic panels]

Is Europe stockpiling the same amount of solar panels?

Europe is stockpiling the same amount of solar panels as it has deployed, a new report has found. According to Rystad Energy's Freedom from Fossil Fuels report, 40 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels are stored in warehouses across the European Union, equivalent to what was installed across the 27-country bloc in 2022.

Will European solar panels keep up with the growth of imported solar panels?

These goals include a target for 30 GWdc of European manufacturing along the entire value chain by 2025 and 40% of installed solar PV being manufactured within the continent by 2030. Despite these ambitious goals, between 2019 and 2022, locally-made modules could not keep pace with the growth of imported panels.

Are Chinese-manufactured solar panels putting up in European warehouses?

Chinese-manufactured solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are piling up in European warehouses, with Rystad Energy forecasting 100 GWdc of solar capacity in storage by the end of 2023.

Why are European solar panels oversupply?

The solar panel oversupply in Europe is attributed to the desire to meet renewable energy targets, Chinese manufacturers undercutting competition on price, and challenges in European solar supply chain development.

How can European countries get solar panels out of warehouses?

"European countries need to expand training programmes for solar panel installers, address grid bottlenecks and streamline bureaucratic processes to get solar panels out of warehouses and onto the roofs of homes and businesses as fast as possible," Tara Connolly, Beyond Fossil Fuels Campaigner, said in a statement.
