The ESMC does not want to be forgotten in the distribution of European aid
The European Solar Photovoltaic Manufacturers' Association (ESMC) is calling for €20bn
700 billion be allocated to the solar industry to create solar manufacturing plants and relevant infrastructure, to stimulate research and development of new products, and to plan special budgets. According to the ESMC, Europe produced only 11% of silicon, 1% of ingots and wafers, 0.4% of solar cells and 4% of solar panels on its own in 2019, meeting 15% of European demand, with the rest being imported.
The goal is to install 60 GW of generation capacity in Europe within five years (by 2026)
