Europe is set to see a partial revival of its solar industry, and perhaps 25 GW of new manufacturing capacity could come online by 2025. In the face of the cost-efficient Chinese imports which dominate the market today, these new plants will rely on a technological edge, plus lower transportation costs as Europe’s demand rises rapidly. Heterojunction will be a central new technology in new plants through to 2024, after which tandem perovskites from the likes of Oxford PV will pick up, as well as even more novel ideas such as organic solar cells. As for rising demand, Europe’s newly installed capacity has increased from the nadir of 5.5 GW in 2017, to 8 GW in 2018 and then 16…
