China's solar industry is experiencing a slowdown in domestic installation growth due to the end of feed-in-tariffs, overcapacity, and a shift to market-based electricity pricing, while exports adjust following the removal of VAT export rebates.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

China’s market-oriented power pricing rewrites solar economics and shifts your focus from volume to timing and location advantage. If you supply or partner in Southeast Asia, expect more cell exports and new local-content trade hurdles to exploit now.
