State of global solar energy market: Overview, China''s role,

The objective of this research is to present a state-of-the-art of the current situation of thin-film solar PVs in the global solar market. As such, there are several articles that tackle solar PVs in general, but only a few focus on thin films because of their low market share. It is also believed that those thin film PVs will not survive

6 FAQs about [China shares thin film solar energy]

Are thin film solar cells the new energy domain?

Why is China a leader in solar PV production?

In addition, China is responsible for the processing of rare earth elements that are mined abroad. China worked hard to maintain its position as a leader in the production of assembled PVs and their parts. The country has also majorly invested in installed capacities. In the span of 25 years, China was able to install 393 GW of solar PV alone.

Are thin-film solar panels harmful to the environment?

In addition, Yu et al. (2022) concluded that landfill disposal of thin-film PVs promotes health complications, land degradation, and pollution because of the hazardous substances in the solar PVs, which can induce up to 95 % toxicity in humans, animals, air, water, and soil.

Is solar energy a good investment in China?

Solar energy is the most common, cheapest, and most mature renewable energy technology. With solar photovoltaics taking over recently, an in-depth look into their supply chain shows a surprising dependency on the Chinese market from the raw materials to the assembled PVs.

How did China control the global solar market?

The increased installed capacity, the heavy manufacturing, and the availability of materials on its domestic land allowed China to control the global solar market by imposing quotas and restrictions on importing countries. We have shown that China alone installed more than 50 % of the total Asian solar capacity in the span of 25 years.

How has China dominated the solar industry?

As discussed in the previous sections, China was able to dominate the solar industry market. Incentives and government subsidies dating from 2009 onwards helped secure the lead in the world for solar power production since 2017 (Liu et al., 2022; Chowdhury et al., 2020).
