The photovoltaic module export plan is significantly influenced by China's export dynamics. In 2021, China's solar PV exports were valued at over USD 30 billion, making it a major player in the global market1. In December 2024, China exported approximately 16.63 GW of PV modules, with Brazil, the Netherlands, and India being key importers3. The Asia-Pacific market saw a decline in exports, with 3.86 GW exported in September 2024, reflecting a 17% decrease from the previous month4. Overall, China's photovoltaic module exports are expected to continue evolving, with a focus on maintaining strong relationships with major importing countries5. [pdf]
