光伏行业加速向市场驱动转型

Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration regarding the adjustment of export tax rebate policies for photovoltaic products is seen as a measure to combat "involution" and prevent "involution externalization," promoting rational price returns in overseas markets and reducing trade friction risks [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Changes - Starting from April 1, 2026, the export VAT rebate for photovoltaic products will be canceled, and the rebate rate for battery products will be reduced from 9% to 6%, with the rebate for battery products also being canceled from January 1, 2027 [1]. - The adjustment of export tax rebates is viewed as a continuation of the policy aimed at addressing the issue of low-price competition in the overseas photovoltaic market, which has led to domestic profit loss and increased trade friction risks [2][3]. Group 2: Market Reactions - The capital market has reacted to the policy changes, with leading companies that possess key technologies being seen as long-term beneficiaries, while smaller, homogeneous companies face significant challenges and pressure on their stock prices [1][2]. - Analysts predict that the adjustment will lead to a reduction in export tax rebates by 1 to 2 billion yuan annually for leading photovoltaic and energy storage companies, which is expected to enhance global competitiveness in the long run [4]. Group 3: Industry Outlook - The industry is transitioning from a phase of high demand growth to one focused on supply optimization and technological breakthroughs, with a shift towards high-quality development [4]. - The cancellation of export tax rebates is expected to encourage technological innovation and brand building within the industry, with high-efficiency components like BC and TOPCon3.0 likely to gain higher premiums in future exports [6][7]. Group 4: Emerging Opportunities - The concept of space photovoltaic technology is gaining traction, with companies exploring opportunities in space-based energy solutions, which could open new growth avenues for the photovoltaic industry [7][8]. - The development of space photovoltaic technology is seen as a potential second growth curve for the industry, with significant investments and advancements expected in the coming years [8][9].
