China has proposed export controls on 12 solar panel manufacturing technologies, including advanced photovoltaic technologies like perovskite and tandem cells, citing national security concerns. This move aims to limit technology dissemination to sensitive sectors and preserve China's dominance amid rising global solar manufacturing ambitions, notably in the US and India.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy, and 6 sources have reported it between 18 Oct 2026 and 25 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You will face tighter export controls from China on advanced solar manufacturing technologies this year. Rethink reliance on Chinese technology inputs or supply chains in solar production immediately to avoid disruptions.
