工信部定调！光伏还在深度调整期 “反内卷”是重中之重

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese photovoltaic industry is currently undergoing a deep adjustment period, with 2026 identified as a critical year for governance and addressing internal competition within the industry [1][3]. Industry Overview - The photovoltaic industry has achieved significant milestones during the 14th Five-Year Plan, including an annual output value exceeding 10 trillion yuan, total exports surpassing 180 billion USD, and cumulative installed capacity exceeding 1200 GW [2]. - The cumulative new installed capacity during the 14th Five-Year Plan is 4.5 times that of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and the cumulative new power generation is 3.6 times higher [2]. Challenges and Adjustments - The industry is facing a mismatch in supply and demand, leading to significant challenges for enterprises [3]. - The cancellation of the value-added tax export rebate for photovoltaic products starting April 1, 2026, may lead to a major reshuffle in the industry in the second half of the year [2]. Governance and Regulation - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasizes the need to combat internal competition as a primary issue for industry governance in 2026 [3]. - Key strategies include enhancing departmental collaboration, regulating capacity, and promoting quality standards to achieve dynamic balance in supply and demand [3][4]. Innovation and International Cooperation - The industry is encouraged to focus on innovation-driven development, particularly in advanced photovoltaic technologies such as perovskite tandem cells [4]. - There is a push for deepening international cooperation to navigate global energy transitions and trade protectionism, supporting enterprises in overseas expansion [4]. Future Directions - The industry is expected to shift from competition based on scale and price to value competition, with a focus on creating a healthy development environment and promoting industrial upgrades [6]. - The manufacturing sector should advance towards intelligent, green, and integrated development, enhancing smart manufacturing and green energy use [6].
