📢 Urgent Action Needed! 📢
The European solar manufacturing industry is facing a severe crisis due to the unsustainable pricing tactics of Chinese PV module manufacturers. Despite our best efforts, the threat persists. Massive stockpiles of Chinese PV modules in European ports now exceed our annual installation demand, and imports are set to hit a staggering 120 GW in 2023, far surpassing our expected installations of just over 60 GW.
As a result, European PV module production has plunged, pushing European manufacturers to the brink of insolvency. The choice is clear: take immediate action or risk the future of our industry.
In response to this pressing issue the European PV industry has united in a letter urging the European Commission and Member States to act swiftly. Together, let's protect and strengthen the European solar sector for a sustainable future.
