A report by SolarPower Europe and Fraunhofer ISE finds EU-made solar modules cost €0. 12)/W more than Chinese imports, but targeted policies could close the gap and help reach the EU's 30 GW annual manufacturing target by 2030. . Reducing the EU's dependence on fossil fuels, solar energy plays a key role in both the clean energy transition and the REPowerEU plan. In fact, in 2023, less than 15% of. . Accelerating solar deployment, stockpiling and diversifying imports would mitigate the threat to European economic security from solar PV imports Executive summary The European Union plans a major increase in solar PV capacity from 263 GW today to almost 600 GW by 2030. Producing a solar module in Europe with EU-made solar cells. . From 17-18 February 2026, the SUPERNOVA project will organise three sessions at the Solar Quality Summit Europe 2026 conference in Barcelona. At the same time, PV module efficiencies increased from 9% in 1980 to 22. 6% in 2024, while cutting-edge. .
