Solar power supply chain in the Netherlands
The solar power market has developed strongly in the Netherlands in recent years. With a generation capacity of 14.4 GW, solar power supplied 10% of the total electricity demand in 2021. In recent years, 8-10 million panels have been installed each year. These represent approximately 16% of the annually imported panels. The remainder is transported within Europe. More than 90% of the imported panels come from China. Panels for the Dutch market are usually either installed directly or distributed to installation parties via wholesalers. This report provides an overview of the composition of the Dutch market.
