European countries’ expanded plans for solar PV deployments may be held up by a lack of grid infrastructure development, according to solar trade body SolarPower Europe (SPE).
The EU has confirmed that it will pursue ways to support the European solar manufacturing industry, following discussions today (4t March) between the European Commission and solar industry representatives.
The proposal would have likely been consequential for the solar PV industry, which is plagued by allegations of forced labour in the production of polysilicon and other upstream components.
