That is not entirely incorrect, as current module pricing in Europe does not reflect a healthy, industry-friendly market situation. In contrast, large-scale warehouse clearance deals continue to dominate pricing levels.
Module prices have not fallen uniformly this month. However, long-term recovery to the point where newly made products in Europe may be sold competitively appears to be out of reach.
Distributors and manufacturers still have too much stock of second- and third-tier products. Because of the recent cold conditions, demand has not yet returned to normal levels for this time of year; therefore, excess modules are being released slowly.
In order for local production to continue in Europe for the foreseeable future, governments will need to act quickly. The route should be set as soon as possible in the proper direction, ideally at the European level, even though it won’t be a resilience bonus like the one that was recently abandoned in Germany. Right now, a little piece of our energy independence perishes every day because nothing is done.
