Data Protection Policy SolarPower Europe (SPE) has dropped Huawei as a member amid an EU corruption investigation, as the European Commission moves to sever ties with trade groups representing the Chinese tech giant. The decision marks the first such removal by the Brussels-based solar lobby.
SolarPower Europe has removed Chinese tech giant Huawei as a member, marking the first time the Brussels-based solar industry association has taken such action, an SPE spokesperson has told pv magazine. The board made the decision on April 28, 2025, and “the procedure is continuing as laid out in our statutes,” said the spokesperson.
According to research by trade body SolarPower Europe, Chinese firms control approximately 65 percent of the total installed power in the solar sector. The largest company in the European market is Huawei, a tech giant that is considered a high-risk vendor of telecom equipment.
Such restrictions would target Huawei first and foremost, as the dominant Chinese supplier of critical parts of these systems. The fears center around solar panel inverters, a piece of technology that turns solar panels' electricity into current that flows into the grid.
The largest company in the European market is Huawei, a tech giant that is considered a high-risk vendor of telecom equipment. The second-largest firm is Sungrow, which is also Chinese, and controls about half the amount of solar power as Huawei.
The European Commission is assessing cybersecurity risks in the solar value chain, with the ESMC advocating for measures like Lithuania's 2023 ban on Chinese inverters. As Europe balances energy security and economic considerations, the proposed toolbox aims to enforce risk assessments and limit remote access by high-risk vendors.
The global solar folding container and energy storage container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with portable and outdoor power demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Solar folding container solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new portable solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by emergency response needs and outdoor industry demand. Europe follows with 40% market share, where energy storage containers have provided reliable electricity for off-grid applications and remote operations. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 60% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing solar folding container system prices by 30% annually. Emerging markets are adopting solar folding containers for disaster relief, outdoor events, and remote power, with typical payback periods of 1-3 years. Modern solar folding container installations now feature integrated systems with 15kW to 100kW capacity at costs below $1.80 per watt for complete portable energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving outdoor power generation systems and off-grid energy storage performance while reducing operational costs for various applications. Next-generation solar folding containers have increased efficiency from 75% to over 95% in the past decade, while battery storage costs have decreased by 80% since 2010. Advanced energy management systems now optimize power distribution and load management across outdoor power systems, increasing operational efficiency by 40% compared to traditional generator systems. Smart monitoring systems provide real-time performance data and remote control capabilities, reducing operational costs by 50%. Battery storage integration allows outdoor power solutions to provide 24/7 reliable power and load optimization, increasing energy availability by 85-98%. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with solar folding container projects typically achieving payback in 1-2 years and energy storage containers in 2-3 years depending on usage patterns and fuel cost savings. Recent pricing trends show standard solar folding containers (15kW-50kW) starting at $25,000 and large energy storage containers (100kWh-1MWh) from $50,000, with flexible financing options including rental agreements and power purchase arrangements available.
