Supply Chain
Solar Panel Supply Chain
The solar panel supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that interact to determine who can participate and at what scale: polysilicon purification requires 99.9999% purity — the same constraint that shapes semiconductors but applied at commodity scale — creating a capital-intensive bottleneck that gates the entire downstream chain; cell and module manufacturing operates on thin margins at enormous scale, driving extreme consolidation where China produces roughly 80% of global solar panels; and the chain from quartz mining through polysilicon, ingot, wafer, cell, module, to rooftop installation spans seven distinct stages, each with different economics, different geographies, and different competitive dynamics.
Wind Turbine Supply Chain
The wind turbine supply chain is governed by three structural constraints that set it apart from conventional manufacturing: component scale — modern turbine blades exceed 80 meters in length and cannot be containerized, forcing specialized transport logistics that dictate where manufacturing and installation can occur; site-specificity — every turbine installation is engineered for local wind profiles, soil conditions, and grid connection, eliminating the possibility of standardized deployment; and rare earth magnet dependency — direct-drive turbines require neodymium permanent magnets, binding the expansion of wind energy to the concentrated and geopolitically sensitive rare earth supply chain.
