European Solar Manufacturing Council

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.

The European Commission has today launched the European Solar PV Industry Alliance to promote investment in EU solar manufacturing.
