How has global solar PV manufacturing capacity changed over the last decade?
Global solar PV manufacturing capacity has increasingly moved from Europe, Japan and the United States to China over the last decade. China has invested over USD 50 billion in new PV supply capacity – ten times more than Europe − and created more than 300 000 manufacturing jobs across the solar PV value chain since .
Which country produces the most solar panels in the world?
In addition to dominating the PV module production market, China is also the global leader in installed PV capacity. What’s more, most of the leading solar companies worldwide headquartered in China.

How many jobs will the solar PV industry create?
The solar PV industry could create 1 300 manufacturing jobs for each gigawatt of production capacity. The solar PV sector has the potential to double its number of direct manufacturing jobs to 1 million by . The most job-intensive segments along the PV supply chain are module and cell manufacturing.
What is a solar photovoltaic manufacturing map?
The U.S. Solar Photovoltaic Manufacturing Map shows only active manufacturing sites that contribute to the solar photovoltaic supply chain. It details their nameplate capacities, or the full amount of potential output at an existing facility, where known. This does not imply that these facilities produced the amount listed.
Where are solar companies headquartered in the world?
Investments in solar photovoltaic energy worldwide have grown rapidly in the last few years. In addition to dominating the PV module production market, China is also the global leader in installed PV capacity. What’s more, most of the leading solar companies worldwide headquartered in China. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.
How can the solar PV industry support growing demand?
Annual investment levels need to double throughout the supply chain. Critical sectors such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers would attract the majority of investment to support growing demand. The solar PV industry could create 1 300 manufacturing jobs for each gigawatt of production capacity.
