Europe Solar Supply Chain Map Edition 1 - 2026

The European solar manufacturing landscape continues to evolve, with five new manufacturers or projects added to this edition: Solar Organic Centro España, Solar Fabrik GmbH, RESiLICON, Astronergy, and JTPV / Schmid-Pekintaş. These additions reflect continued investment across the PV value chain and support Europe's ambition to strengthen domestic manufacturing.

Manufacturing capacity also continues to expand. Current module production capacity has increased to 24.2 GW, with announced projects targeting 88.2 GW by 2027/2030. Significant growth is also planned in cell, wafer, and polysilicon manufacturing, indicating a stronger focus on upstream supply chain development.

While investment momentum remains positive, many upstream projects are still in the planning or construction phase. Their successful delivery will depend on continued policy support, financing, and market demand.

Comparison with the Previous Edition
Compared with the previous edition, the focus has shifted from factory closures, bankruptcies, and market consolidation to capacity expansion and new manufacturing investments. Although execution risks remain, the latest data suggests that Europe is gradually rebuilding its domestic PV manufacturing ecosystem through increased investment across both downstream and upstream production.
