Will European PV module prices drop in December 2024?
PV module prices dropped in Europe in December 2024, while the European PV sector remains optimistic about the industry’s long-term growth. These are the key takeaways from sun.store’s latest pv.index report published last week, covering pricing trends and industry sentiment in the European PV sector.
How does the EU support the European solar PV manufacturing sector?
Over the last years, the EU has taken initiatives to strengthen its support to the European solar PV manufacturing sector, which includes several globally competitive companies in several steps of the value chain.
How much solar power is installed in the EU?
About 2.3 GW of concentrated solar power has been installed in the EU since 2013, but most new projects take place outside of the EU. Solar thermal technologies are used mainly to produce domestic hot water in residential buildings and industry through heat collectors.
Why is solar energy important in the EU?
Solar contributes to reducing the price of electricity, putting the EU at a competitive advantage and helping to drive economic growth and create jobs. Solar energy also creates jobs directly. The workforce of the photovoltaic sector grew by 27% to 826 000 by the end of 2023, up from 648 100 workers in 2022.
How many solar panels are there in the EU in 2021?
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), in 2021 the estimated installed solar PV capacity in the EU was over 158 GW, compared with over 306 GW in China and almost 94 GW in the US. China is currently the world's leader in solar energy production.
How much solar power does the EU have in 2024?
The EU solar generation capacity keeps increasing and reached, according to SolarPower Europe, an estimated 338 GW in 2024. The EU has long been a front-runner in the roll-out of solar energy. Under the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan, solar power is a building block of the EU’s transition to cleaner energy.
