Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that space photovoltaic technology is not a hype but is on the verge of large-scale deployment, driven by real demand, engineering implementation, and a commercial loop [1] - The explosion of space photovoltaic technology is attributed to the new demands of "space computing power + AI" and the ongoing competition for low Earth orbit resources globally [1] - China's accelerated deployment of satellite constellations is primarily for strategic orbit occupation, followed by building communication capabilities, and finally enhancing computing power and AI [1] Group 2 - It is projected that the number of satellite launches will increase from 5,000 to 50,000 between 2025 and 2040, with gallium arsenide batteries dominating in the short term at an 80% penetration rate [2] - As costs decrease and technology advances, the penetration rates of P-type HJT and perovskite/silicon tandem batteries are expected to rise, with perovskite/silicon tandem batteries projected to reach a 60% penetration rate in the long term [2] - The overall market space for photovoltaic cells in the satellite sector is estimated to reach 328.8 billion yuan, representing a growth of over 30 times compared to the short-term market space [2]
