Customer ServiceAs the PV cell is the essential component of the PV value chain, converting sunlight into electricity by reduced cost and increased efficiency has been heatedly discussed in the existing literature. Technology innovation drives the development of competing or emerging technological trajectories.
The value chain was classified in upstream, midstream, downstream, and auxiliary chain to encompass all activities carried out by different actors from the production of materials necessary for the installation of the photovoltaic system to deliver to final consumers and subsequent deactivation and disposal at the end of its lifespan.
The concept of industry value chain refers to the overall linkages between resources and actors or encompasses all stages from conception through different production phases to the delivery of final products (Zhang and Gallagher, 2016). There are two ways to study the PV industry value chain in the existing literature.
Because diversification is one of the key strategies for reducing supply chain risks, the report assesses the opportunities and challenges of developing solar PV supply chains in terms of job creation, investment requirements, manufacturing costs, emissions and recycling.
Special Report on Solar PV Global Supply Chains Solar PV is a crucial pillar of clean energy transitions worldwide, underpinning efforts to reach international energy and climate goals. Over the last decade, the amount of solar PV deployed around the world has increased massively while its costs have declined drastically.
Currently, the cost competitiveness of existing solar PV manufacturing is a key challenge to diversifying supply chains. China is the most cost-competitive location to manufacture all components of the solar PV supply chain. Costs in China are 10% lower than in India, 20% lower than in the United States, and 35% lower than in Europe.
