What is a solar PV module manufacturing value chain?
The solar PV module manufacturing value chain comprises four main steps: polysilicon production, wafer production, cell manufacturing, and module assembly. Southeast Asia is a solar PV manufacturing hub with 2 per cent – 3 per cent of the world’s polysilicon and wafer capacity and 9 per cent–10 per cent of the world’s cells and modules capacity.
Why is Southeast Asia a top exporter of solar power equipment?
In little over a decade, Southeast Asia has become one of the world’s top exporters of solar power equipment – a success driven significantly by the relocation of Chinese manufacturers to the region. But now, the sector faces considerable challenges as US tariffs cut off their main export market, intensifying pressure on a previously booming trade.
Is solar a good alternative energy option for Malaysia?
“We now finally have an alternative energy that is cheaper than gas to replace our peak energy demand at midday.” Malaysia has set a target to increase its renewable energy in electricity generation from current 6% to 20% by , and a majority of this would be driven by solar.
Which Chinese companies are investing in solar energy?
Notable Chinese solar investments include Trina Solar’s two factories in Vietnam, producing silicon wafers and solar cells, with a third, USD 454 million, 25-hectare facility announced.
Will trump's hefty tariffs affect Southeast Asian Solar Exports?
This uncertainty has now been exacerbated by President Donald Trump’s 21 April announcement of hefty tariffs on Southeast Asian solar manufacturers, reaching unprecedented heights of up to 3,521% for some exporters, though varying by country and company.
Which solar companies are facing tariffs?
Trina Solar, for example, has been hit with tariffs totalling 375% on its production in Thailand, while Jinko Solar will face rates of 120% on its exports from Vietnam, but lower levies of 40.3% from Malaysia.
