Germany's BSW has announced a proposal to restore and strengthen the entire value chain of the European solar production industry.

The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has written an open letter to the EU calling for “robust regulation” of forced labour in the solar supply chain.

The influx of Chinese modules to Europe, EU's revised solar capacity targets and manufacturing expansion plans in the US were some of the major issues happened in Q3 2023.

Parliament’s decision has been met with both approval and some trepidation by representatives in the European solar industry. It will now pass to negotiations with the European Council to clarify its specifics.

The European Solar Manufacturing Council offers several recommendations for the EU and solar companies to address forced labour in the supply chain.

Multiple European cell and module manufacturers, start-ups and solar PV component suppliers have published an open letter via the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC), urging the EU to take actions to safeguard the European PV manufacturing industry threatened by "unsustainably low-priced PV modules" from Chinese module manufacturers.

The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has called on the European Union member states to allocate financial support from REPowerEU grants to support solar PV manufacturing.

Europe needs to galvanise a competitive PV manufacturing ecosystem in the same vein as the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), according to the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC).

The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has launched an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for PV aimed at mobilising EU member states’ support for breakthrough solar manufacturing technologies and to aid their commercialisation.
