6 FAQs about [EU imported solar cells]
How many solar panels did the EU import in 2023?
In 2023, the EU imported €19.7 billion worth of solar panels, €3.9 billion of liquid biofuels and €0.3 billion worth of wind turbines from extra-EU countries. The value of imported solar panels decreased by 12% compared with 2022 due to a drop in prices, while the quantity increased by 5%.
How much solar energy does the EU export?
At the same time, the EU exported €0.9 billion worth of solar panels, €2.2 billion in liquid biofuels, and €2.0 billion in wind turbines. Unlike solar panels and liquid biofuels, wind turbines exports significantly exceeded import values.
What percentage of solar panels are made in the EU?
Eurostat data shows that 7,19% of the solar panels in the EU in 2022 was manufactured in the EU, while 92,81% was imported. Of the imported solar panels, 95,98% was produced in China. If we look at all the solar panels (both EU-produced and imported), then 89,1% of all the solar panels deployed in the EU in 2022 was made in China.
Why did the EU import value of solar panels decrease in 2022?
The EU import value of solar panels decreased by 12% between 2022 and 2023 (see Figure 2), due to a drop in prices, even though the quantity imported slightly increased by +5%. During the same period the value of EU imports of liquid biofuels decreased by -22% while the quantity fell slightly by 2%.
