Customer ServiceRoula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Europe’s solar power industry has warned that a glut of cheap Chinese imports has pushed some manufacturers to the brink of bankruptcy, hampering the EU’s efforts to boost local production of green technologies.
In 2023, the solar industry witnessed a significant number of contractors going out of business, a trend fueled by a confluence of economic and policy-driven factors. Federal Reserve’s Rate Hike: The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to combat inflation, inadvertently affecting the solar sector.
Walburga Hemetsberger, chief executive of SolarPower Europe, said she was aware that others in the sector would also be petitioning the commission. “We all agree that the unchecked price drops are a critical risk for the sector, and EU leaders must take urgent action.” Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2024.
This policy change directly impacted contractors’ business, as California is one of the largest solar markets in the U.S. The closure of numerous solar contractors in 2023 has sent ripples through various facets of the solar market, affecting customers, ongoing projects, and the industry.
These adverse state policy impacts exacerbated financing shifts, triggering plummeting demand and an 80% decrease in rooftop solar installation volume. The California Solar & Storage Association reports that the fallout includes thousands of stalled projects, over 17,000 industry layoffs, and a wave of high-profile bankruptcies.
Prices of PV modules have dropped by more than a quarter since the beginning of the year, according to SolarPower. "This is creating concrete risks for companies to go into insolvency as their significant stock will need to be devalued," SolarPower Europe said.
