Trading Conditions for High-Voltage Photovoltaic Containers

Are photovoltaic trade patterns reshaping global supply chains?

The complexity of photovoltaic trade networks is increasing, and the trade patterns of photovoltaic supply chains are undergoing a significant shift, with the rise of the Asian photovoltaic industry reshaping global photovoltaic supply chains (Helveston et al., 2022).

What are the challenges faced by Global photovoltaic supply chains?

The major challenge faced by the global photovoltaic supply chains is unstable trade policies, and the geographical concentration of global supply chains further exacerbates the impact of such policies.

Are photovoltaic supply chains segmented by trade sanctions?

The four products are also the most prominent segments that are constantly targeted by trade sanctions (IEA, 2022), which were thus chosen to construct segmented trade networks and depict the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of photovoltaic supply chains worldwide.

Are photovoltaic supply disruptions a threat to low-carbon transition?

The potential negative impacts of photovoltaic supply disruptions are also widespread. Since photovoltaics contributes to about 75 % of newly added renewable capacities worldwide, the interruption of photovoltaic supply chains would seriously hinder the process of low-carbon transition (IEA, 2024).
