6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Total import and export volume of photovoltaic cells in the EU”

What was the EU export value of solar panels in 2023?

The EU import values of solar panels and liquid biofuels in 2023 were much higher than the corresponding EU export values which were €0.9 billion for solar panels and €2.2 billion for liquid biofuels. By contrast, the EU export value of wind turbines in 2023 (€2.0 billion) was much higher than the corresponding value for imports.

What is the value of solar panels and biofuels in Europe?

The value of imports of solar panels and liquid biofuels was much greater than the corresponding value of EU exports of these goods to countries outside the EU (exports amounted to €1.8 billion and €1.6 billion, respectively).

How much solar energy does the EU export?

At the same time, the EU exported €0.9 billion worth of solar panels, €2.2 billion in liquid biofuels, and €2.0 billion in wind turbines. Unlike solar panels and liquid biofuels, wind turbines exports significantly exceeded import values.

How much solar energy did the EU import from China in 2023?

The EU imported €19.7 billion worth of solar photovoltaic panels from China in 2023. In 2023, the EU imported €19.7 billion worth of solar panels, €3.9 billion of liquid biofuels, and €0.3 billion worth of wind turbines from extra-EU countries, according to the Eurostat data.

How much green energy does the EU import?

Meanwhile, the EU exported green energy products worth around half this amount (€5.8 billion) to countries outside the EU. Specifically, the EU imported €8.0 billion worth of solar panels, €2.9 billion worth of liquid biofuels and €0.3 billion worth of wind turbines from countries outside the EU.

Which countries export solar panels in the EU?

The largest extra-EU export destination for wind turbines was the United Kingdom (30%), followed by the United States (18%). China (98%) was by far the largest partner for extra-EU imports of solar panels in 2023 (see Figure 5). The largest extra-EU export destinations for solar panels were Switzerland (31%) and the United Kingdom (25%).
