Figures 4

Figure 1. The past two decades have witnessed major changes in how and where solar panels and wind turbines are manufactured 8

Figure 2. Materials remain the largest cost component in the production of both solar panels and wind turbines 9

Figure 3. The dramatic increase in solar production capacity since 2020 has coincided with falling module prices and lower capacity utilisation 10

Figure 4. Production capacity for solar modules vastly exceeds global demand 12

Figure 5. The largest China-based manufacturers of solar modules have integrated vertically over time 14

Figure 6. China has become the largest exporter of solar cells and modules and, more recently, wind turbines 15

Figure 7. Subsidies have been considerably larger for producers of solar PV cells and modules than for producers of wind turbines 20

Figure 8. Bank acceptances account for a large share of all below-market borrowings in solar and wind 22

Figure 9. Solar cells and modules were the most subsidised sector in the OECD MAGIC database between 2005 and 2022 23

Figure 10. A combination of falling output prices and higher input costs have lowered the profits of producers of solar modules and wind turbines 24
