What is the solar photovoltaics supply chain review?

The Solar Photovoltaics Supply Chain Review explores the global solar photovoltaics (PV) supply chain and opportunities for developing U.S. manufacturing capacity.

What can governments do to support domestic solar PV Manufacturing?

The special report summarises policy approaches that governments have taken to support domestic solar PV manufacturing and highlights priority areas for action to improve security of supply and to address key challenges such as environmental and social sustainability, investment risks and cost competitiveness.

What are India's favourable solar PV manufacturing policies?

Favourable solar PV manufacturing policies in India and the United States have spurred multiple new project announcements. In the first phase of India’s PLI programme, almost 9 GW of integrated manufacturing capacity were contracted, and in the second phase the government is expecting to subsidise another 65 GW.

What is the production limit for solar photovoltaics?

The primary limit is tellurium supply, which may cap annual production capacity to about 20 GW dc (Solar Photovoltaics: Supply Chain Deep Dive Assessment: estimates 20 GW dc annual capacity based on scale of copper mining).

Is solar PV a viable option for decarbonization & energy security?

Solar PV is a key enabling technology and a major commercial opportunity for the electricity and energy system decarbonization and energy security of the United States. However, reaching decarbonization goals requires a resilient and reliable supply chain for solar equipment.

How can a sustainable supply chain be achieved for solar photovoltaic technologies?

SETO has identified three exemplary scenarios that can achieve a more sustainable, reliable, and resilient supply chain for solar photovoltaic technologies: Majority domestic production across all required supply chain segments for mature solar technologies (crystalline silicon and cadmium telluride).
