Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic industry is experiencing a significant shift due to the implementation of anti-involution policies, which have led to a recovery in pricing, particularly in the silicon material segment, despite overall losses in the sector [3][4]. Group 1: Company Performance - Longi Green Energy reported a third-quarter revenue of 18.1 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 9.78%, with a net profit loss of 0.834 billion, significantly reduced from a loss of 1.26 billion the previous year [3]. - The entire photovoltaic industry has seen a substantial reduction in losses, confirming the industry's profit bottom, especially in the silicon material segment [3]. Group 2: Industry Dynamics - The entire photovoltaic supply chain, from silicon materials to modules, has benefited from anti-involution policies, reversing the trend of declining prices [4]. - Rumors of major players in the silicon material industry planning to consolidate excess capacity and inventory have led to significant stock price increases from September to November [4]. - However, a recent statement from a senior executive at JA Solar regarding the failure of a storage platform caused a sharp decline in industry stocks, highlighting the volatility and uncertainty in the market [4]. Group 3: Technological Developments - Longi Green Energy's strategy to address industry challenges focuses on innovation, particularly in reducing costs and improving efficiency of BC batteries [5]. - The company has faced challenges due to a large-scale production of BC batteries without a significant cost advantage over TOPCon batteries, leading to substantial inventory and equipment write-downs [7]. - Longi Green Energy aims to achieve a 50% share of high-efficiency BC battery production by the end of 2025, with a target production capacity of 50 GW for BC batteries [10]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The profitability and stock prices in the photovoltaic sector remain closely tied to the effectiveness of anti-involution policies, with challenges in executing capacity reductions [10]. - The competition is expected to shift towards perovskite battery technology in the long term, rather than just between BC and TOPCon batteries [10]. - Longi Green Energy is exploring hydrogen energy as a strategic differentiator, focusing on green electricity and green hydrogen production [12].
