According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China will dominate 95% of solar panel supply chain by 2025. I'm actually new in this field. How problematic is this?

That means you will probably have to wait for Chinese manufacturers to deliver to your customers, which will generate longer lead times and certainly logistical problems.

That means that your supplier will be totally Chinese, in this case, you have to make sure that your supplier meets the quality criteria that you are used to for your customers.

Working with Chinese suppliers only in many cases is a problem, those problems are quality, finishing, waiting time... I recommend you to take a direct flight to the country and identify serious factories and with good times directly, this way you will know who you can count on when it comes to a business, I wish you luck.

At this moment the diplomatic relations with China are not very good, surely that will increase the costs in the future, it is not foreseen that these relations will improve, it would be good to inspect other manufacturing countries, I know that in this sector Brazil also has presence, you could venture into that market.
