New study reveals path to reshore solar manufacturing in Europe

SolarPower Europe has published a new study with Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), revealing that the cost gap between Net-Zero Industry Act-compliant modules and Chinese imported modules can be reduced to below 10% with the right urgent policies. The report highlights the risk that, without additional measures, NZIA provisions could support solar supply chain diversification without boosting European solar manufacturers, as there remains a significant cost difference (2.2 to 5.8 €ct/Wp) between NZIA-compliant EU-made and NZIA-compliant non-EU modules.
