The German government is considering the possibility of imposing trade barriers on Chinese-imported solar modules and components to Europe, according to Reuters.
As Europe is increasing its solar PV capacity to reach its goal in the REPowerEU plan, countries in the bloc are accelerating solar PV installation. But some EU countries also look at the solar potential in North Africa, as the region boasts better solar irradiance and longer sunshine hours.
The expansion of solar PV and battery storage is keeping the global net zero 1.5 degree pathway open, and the current host of planned manufacturing capacity expansions will be enough to meet demand by 2030.
