TaiyangNews Webinar: Global Solar Market Developments 2025 – H1 Review & H2 Outlook
Thursday, July 17, 2025 | 10:00-11:30 CEST
2025 is shaping up to be another pivotal year for solar, but with new dynamics and evolving challenges.
The global solar market has continued to grow in the first 6 months of 2025, but with notable shifts. Solar installations soared in the first half of this year, especially in China, but a new policy framework puts a big question mark on demand in the second half of the year and beyond in the world’s most dominant solar market. Moreover, continued global supply-demand imbalances, ongoing product price pressures paired with geopolitical turmoil, a strengthened fossil-fuel and nuclear lobby, and lagging grid infrastructure and system flexibility challenge the solar sector.
TaiyangNews and leading global experts assessed solar market developments in H1 2025 and offered an outlook for H2 2025 and beyond.
Topics explored:
Global solar supply & demand trends: What changed in H1 2025 & what to expect in the coming months of the year
Impacts of trade policies and updates from major markets
Global price trends
Supply chain & overcapacity challenges
Speakers included:
Marius Bakke, VP Solar Research, Rystad Energy
Frank Du, Head of Market Research, Sungrow
Frank Haugwitz, Director, AECEA
Michael Schmela, Managing Director, TaiyangNews
Webinar brought together top market researchers, manufacturers, and analysts to make sense of the current developments – and what’s coming next in solar.
