What is the solar PV Dutch market?

The solar PV Dutch market is defined as the market of all nationally installed solar PV applications, both roof top and ground mounted systems. A solar PV application consists of modules, a set up box, inverter, mounting system and all installation and electrical control components needed for its management.

Should the Netherlands install solar PV?

The preference towards installation of solar PV can also be observed in the Dutch Regional Energy Strategies (RES) plan. The RES guides the Netherlands on a regional level in realising the national goal of annually generating 35 TWh of electricity from renewable energy sources on land by 2030.

Is the Netherlands in a growing European solar PV value chain?

This study aims to identify the Netherlands’ position in a growing European solar PV value chain, its obstacles and opportunities. The study relies on literature research, desk research, and interviews with industry stakeholders. Solar panel power generation has experienced remarkable growth worldwide.

Are solar panels a niche market in the Netherlands?

However, in time, the Dutch industry will focus more on a niche market with aesthetic, thin-film, flexible solar panels that are suitable to integrate into buildings to expand solar capacity while saving space. The Netherlands’ potential does not lie in large scale production, but rather in mass customisation and light-weight panels.

Can the Netherlands reshore the global PV manufacturing market?

However, as the Netherlands has but a tiny share of the global PV manufacturing market and cannot reshore the whole value chain, European and international collaboration is essential. Thirdly, and again somewhat related to the former, ensuring a stable and cost-effective supply of materials is important.

Why do Dutch companies buy solar panels from Asian factories?

Scale is the main reason for Dutch companies to buy materials from Asian factories. Therefore, joint purchases of bulk equipment from European manufacturers can strengthen a more autonomous Dutch and European solar PV production chain. Further, the Netherlands has a pioneering role in the development of mass customisation and lightweight panels.
