Story summary
- The European Commission will prohibit Chinese-made solar inverters in EU-funded energy projects from November 2026, classifying them high-risk while allowing existing installations to stay operational.
- EU officials estimate the ban will raise total project costs by less than 2 percent because inverters represent about 5 percent of installation expenses.
- China’s Chamber of Commerce to the EU disputes the security claim and warns the restrictions could undermine fair competition and increase green-transition costs.
