Should solar PV supply chain services be included in the IRENA report?

This IRENA report takes stock of the key quality infrastructure (technical) and ESG services that should be considered by solar PV stakeholders to bolster supply chain activities, as well as make them more inclusive. Download Annex data here.

Why is supply chain development important for solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity growth?

Supply chain development is crucial for solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity growth; however, most of its crucial value chain segments are concentrated in specific geographies such as China, Europe and the United States. Hence, from a sustainability perspective, it is critical that these supply chains become more diversified and resilient.

Should solar PV supply chains become more diversified and resilient?

Hence, from a sustainability perspective, it is critical that these supply chains become more diversified and resilient. Emerging markets and developing economies (such as India and Southeast Asian countries) are beginning to increase their engagement in solar PV supply chain activities.

How can countries improve their solar PV supply chain resiliency?

One way in which countries can enhance their solar PV supply chain resiliency, and facilitate greater market access, is through participation and conformance to the international quality infrastructure ecosystem for this technology.
