Core Viewpoint - The core viewpoint emphasizes the need for the photovoltaic industry to overcome "involution" and establish a healthy ecosystem through five key recommendations [2][4]. Group 1: Recommendations for the Photovoltaic Industry - The first recommendation is to shift from competition to cooperation, enhancing industry self-discipline. It is crucial to distinguish between "good competition" that creates value and "bad competition" that destroys it [5][6][11]. - The second recommendation is to move from fragmentation to consolidation, increasing industry concentration. The ability to integrate resources is more important than merely creating them [15][16][19]. - The third recommendation is to transition from reducing output to reducing capacity, addressing both symptoms and root causes. The current global photovoltaic module capacity is 1200 GW, while annual usage is only 600 GW, necessitating output reduction [22][23][30]. - The fourth recommendation is to shift from quantity-based profit to price-based profit, emphasizing the importance of pricing strategies over mere sales volume [31][32][40]. - The fifth recommendation is to move from a "red ocean" to a "blue ocean" through innovation, categorized into four aspects: differentiation, segmentation, high-end positioning, and branding [41][42][45].
