Module sourcing decisions have become increasingly complex as developers balance cost competitiveness, supply chain security, and evolving local content requirements. With significant price disparities between Chinese and European production, and varying regulatory approaches across CEE markets, this panel examines the practical considerations shaping procurement strategies. From the economics of local content mandates to supply chain risk assessment and long-term market positioning, we explore how different stakeholders navigate the tension between immediate cost pressures and strategic supply chain decisions.
• How do developers balance cost competitiveness with supply chain security and regulatory compliance?
• What is the realistic outlook for European module production competitiveness and market positioning?
• How do local content requirements and international trade dynamics affect procurement strategies across CEE markets?
