Customer ServiceThat’s a free link worth reading. The short answer is everything in China is cheaper from materials to electricity to labor. The process is worth a closer look, however, and the US trails significantly in every stage. Polysilicon The primary building block for some 97% of the world’s solar panels is high-purity silicon, or polysilicon.
China's advantage in solar panel production stems from lower costs in materials, electricity, and labor, resulting in a 44% price difference compared to the US. The US lags significantly behind China in every stage of the solar manufacturing process, from polysilicon production to solar panel assembly.
However, solar emerged as a bright spot, accounting for three-fifths of new renewable electricity capacity worldwide. According to the International Energy Agency, solar is the only renewable technology being deployed at a rate to meet net zero by 2050 targets. While this trend is good news for the climate, it is better news for China.
As a result, a recent study found that solar panels manufactured in China produce 30% more greenhouse gas emissions than if this supply chain was reshored to the U.S. Furthermore, China’s continued solar dominance jeopardizes the security of the U.S. and its allies.
And patents for solar panels peaked in 2010, right as the Chinese were cornering the global market. And against the picture of robots doing all the work, a new report finds that, “Manual laborers at Hoshine's Xinjiang facility are paid to crush silicon manually at a rate of 42 Chinese yuan (around $6.50) per ton.”
The U.S. has limited direct solar imports from China through policies such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and tariffs established to protect American industry from dumping and non-competitive practices. Yet, many solar modules assembled in Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia, the largest sources of U.S. solar panels, use Chinese components.
