China’s photovoltaic growth sends module prices plummeting
Excess capacity in photovoltaic manufacturing creates challenges for the US and other countries attempting to develop their own industries. Benjamin Disraeli described Britain in 1838 as “the workshop of the world”, because of its global dominance in manufacturing. In low-carbon energy today, it is China that has the undisputed right to that title. Chinese companies … Continue reading China’s photovoltaic growth sends module prices plummeting
