Developments of the Dutch solar PV industry closely followed the European solar PV industry. 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.
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.
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.
Our report sheds light on Europe’s and the Netherlands’ positioning in a future solar PV value chain. In order to rebuild a Dutch solar PV supply chain, European collaboration is key. The Netherlands holds a unique position in the integration of PV modules in the built environment.
Cederik Engel, Managing Director of CCE The Netherlands and Head of ESG at CCE Holding, sees strong prospects ahead. The Netherlands leads the EU in per-capita solar PV capacity, having added around three gigawatts annually over the past three years.
Industry initiatives, such as the European Solar Strategy are proof of the willingness to rebuild a European solar PV manufacturing supply chain. In the Netherlands, solar PV companies support this development, and research institutes are investigating improvements in technological efficiencies and applications.
