The global photovoltaic module manufacturing industry is experiencing multiple challenges of overcapacity, price competition, and technological iteration, with the market landscape accelerating its reshaping. This article, based on Enerdata analysis, explores the current state of the industry, its impacts, and future trends.
France's 12th round of commercial and industrial rooftop solar PV tender saw the average winning price drop to €82.98/MWh, a record low, with demand capacity five times the allocable capacity, marking a strong recovery from the 2025 slump.
Europe's solar installed capacity continues to climb, but the mismatch between peak generation and electricity demand has led to falling electricity prices and increasing curtailment, with structural pressures on the electricity market becoming increasingly apparent.
The global green economy market value has surpassed $10 trillion for the first time, clean energy investment returns have outperformed the broader market, and the United States will add 79.7 GW of clean electricity in 2026, marking a new phase of energy transition driven by capital.
China Resources New Energy raised a record 24.5 billion yuan in its IPO, leveraging overcapacity in solar photovoltaic production to reduce project costs, while also benefiting from China's accelerated energy transition and grid upgrades.
The European Commission has approved a €10 million national aid plan for clean technology in Austria, marking a new step in the EU's clean technology support policies and providing institutional backing for member states to accelerate their energy transition.
RETC 2026 PV Module Index shows that, as U.S. and global solar PV installations continue to expand, the industry’s focus is shifting from simply pursuing scale toward long-term reliability, supply chain traceability, and project risk management.
INA Solar disclosed its FY2025-26 consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, with revenue rising to ₹2,163.52 crore, a significant increase from the previous fiscal year, and net profit up 59.34% year over year. The results to some extent reflect the continued growth of India’s solar manufacturing industry, supported by policy backing, expanding demand, and the development of local supply chains.
