Cederik Engel, Managing Director of CCE The Netherlands and Head of ESG at CCE Holding, sees strong prospects ahead. The Netherlands leads the EU in per-capita solar PV capacity, having added around three gigawatts annually over the past three years.
Developments of the Dutch solar PV industry closely followed the European solar PV industry. However, in time, the Dutch industry will focus more on a niche market with aesthetic, thin-film, flexible solar panels that are suitable to integrate into buildings to expand solar capacity while saving space.
Despite having a very small share in bulk solar panel production and no share in silicon, ingots or wafer production, all interviewed Dutch solar PV chain companies have expressed their ambition to contribute to a more independent European solar PV supply chain.
The Netherlands holds a unique position in the integration of PV modules in the built environment. Through desk research and interviews with industry experts we address relevant market failures that affect the European solar PV supply chain and provide strategic perspectives for rebuilding it.
Even as global module prices fall, the Dutch solar sector remains constrained by labor shortages, stalled investments, and grid saturation. EU-wide solar investment also dropped from €63 billion in 2023 to €55 billion in 2024.
This favorable scheme is the engine behind the Dutch solar panel success, and also its brake. Because now that one in three roofs generates energy, a flood of green electricity flows into the grid during sunny periods.
