Description

Description

The European Commission has implemented a ban on solar inverters and power-conversion systems from China and other countries considered high risk due to cybersecurity concerns. This ban affects projects receiving EU funding and is expected to impact around 14% of forecasted European solar demand from 2026 to 2030, equivalent to over 28 GWdc of solar inverter demand. The policy also extends to battery storage projects, affecting 12% of future EU energy storage deployments. The ban targets the dominance of Chinese companies in the European solar inverter market and is expected to impact countries in Central and Eastern Europe most heavily, including Romania, Bulgaria, the Baltic Nations, and Greece. It also affects utility-scale projects receiving EU institutional finance in North Africa, the Middle East, and the Caspian region. The overall impact on total project costs is expected to be modest, with increases ranging from 2% to 8%.
