Redrawing the solar power map with regional supply chains
The demand for solar power is rising globally. The supply of key components for it, however, is mostly concentrated in one region, leading to potential shortages or political actions that could stifle that demand. If it is to lead the fight against climate change, the solar power world must diversify its supply chain so that it no longer relies ...
