电力设备行业研究周报：光伏行业新规范 助力防止“无序扩张”

Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Overweight" rating for the photovoltaic industry [4]. Core Insights - The new regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on November 15, 2024, aim to prevent "disorderly expansion" in the photovoltaic industry by optimizing layout, adjusting structure, controlling total capacity, encouraging innovation, and supporting application [1][16]. - Key revisions in the 2024 regulations include increased technical requirements for new photovoltaic products, enhanced quality management and intellectual property protection, strengthened green manufacturing and environmental protection standards, higher capital requirements for new projects, and an optimized dynamic adjustment mechanism for the list of compliant enterprises [2][17][18]. Summary by Sections 1. New Regulations Overview - The new regulations focus on seven areas: production layout and project establishment, process technology, resource utilization and energy consumption, intelligent and green manufacturing, environmental protection, quality management and intellectual property, and safety production and social responsibility [1][16]. 2. Key Revisions in 2024 Regulations - Technical indicators for new single crystal silicon photovoltaic cells and modules have been raised, with efficiency targets set at no less than 23.7% for P-type and 26% for N-type cells [2][17]. - The warranty period for materials and processes has been extended from 10 years to 12 years, with additional reliability testing requirements introduced [2][17]. - New requirements for carbon footprint accounting and encouragement for green development practices have been established [2][18]. - The minimum capital requirement for new photovoltaic manufacturing projects has been increased to 30% across the entire supply chain [2][18]. - A dynamic management mechanism for compliant enterprises has been implemented to ensure ongoing compliance with the new standards [2][18]. 3. Investment Strategy - The report suggests focusing on companies within the photovoltaic supply chain that are technologically advanced and hold significant market influence, such as Longi Green Energy and Aiko Solar [3][18].
