1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The photovoltaic industry will enter a critical stage of capacity clearance and pattern reshaping in 2026, with slowing global and domestic installation growth rates and prominent structural opportunities in emerging markets [39]. - New demands such as energy storage business and space photovoltaic applications are expected to become important increments. Energy storage business is entering a volume - growth period, and the integration of photovoltaic and energy storage is expected to become a new profit - growth point [42]. - With the low prices in the photovoltaic industry chain, corporate profitability under pressure, and the cycle of technological iteration and capacity adjustment, market - oriented mergers and acquisitions are expected to gradually take place, and the supply side is expected to be optimized [42]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Photovoltaic Industry Overview 3.1.1 Overall Situation Review - Global photovoltaic demand has been growing since 2025 but is gradually entering a stable growth period. Overseas market demand is differentiated, with a decline in new photovoltaic installations in Europe and the United States and growth in emerging markets such as India and the Middle East. In China, under the "rush - installation wave" in the first half of 2025, the installation volume increased year - on - year, but decreased year - on - year in the second half [11]. - The supply side has over - capacity, and component prices have fallen below the cash - cost line. The production of polysilicon and silicon wafers decreased in 2025, and the industry's supply - demand imbalance led to a decline in prices and net losses of many listed companies [16]. - In terms of technological iteration, differentiation and cost - reduction go hand in hand. In 2025, photovoltaic cell technologies presented a diversified competition pattern, and the sharp rise in silver prices promoted the accelerated layout of silver - reduction technologies [25]. - The "anti - involution" policy combination has been implemented, and progress has been made in market competition order and capacity governance [26]. - In the second half of 2025, the price recovery of silicon materials and other sectors drove the improvement of corporate profitability, and some companies turned losses into profits in a single quarter [27]. 3.1.2 Industry Outlook - In 2026, the global and domestic installation growth rates are expected to slow down, and emerging markets will show structural opportunities. New demands such as energy storage and space photovoltaic applications are expected to become important increments [39][42]. - Market - oriented mergers and acquisitions are expected to gradually take place, and the supply side is expected to be optimized. The photovoltaic industry will gradually transition from "involution - type competition" to "high - quality development" [42]. 3.2 Basic Situation of Convertible Bonds in the Silicon Materials, Silicon Wafers, and Photovoltaic Cell and Component Industries - As of March 18, 2026, there are six convertible bonds in the photovoltaic main industrial chain, with their issuers being private enterprises. The single - bond issuance scale is generally large, and the remaining terms are concentrated between 1 - 3 years. The non - conversion ratios are generally high, and the credit ratings are generally high [45][46]. - In terms of trading, Shuangliang Convertible Bond and Jingneng Convertible Bond had the highest trading volumes since the beginning of 2026. Since the beginning of the year, the prices of the six convertible bonds have all risen, and except for Shuangliang Convertible Bond, the increases are all within 10%. As of March 18, 2026, Tong 22 Convertible Bond is debt - biased, and the other five are balanced [47][49]. - In terms of clause triggers, except for Tong 22 Convertible Bond, the conversion prices of the other convertible bonds have been revised downwards since 2025. Attention should be paid to the triggering of the put - back clause of Tong 22 Convertible Bond and the call clause of Jingneng Convertible Bond and Tian 23 Convertible Bond [50]. - In terms of profitability, the six issuers are expected to have net losses in 2025, but the losses of some issuers are expected to narrow year - on - year. In terms of cash flow, the operating net cash flows of the convertible - bond issuers in the first three quarters of 2025 were generally in net inflow but showed differentiation.

Market Strategy - The report suggests that the recent market adjustments provide an upward space, with structural factors determining excess returns. The release of short-seller pressure has led to a broad market rebound, supported by a decline in domestic market risk evaluation amidst rising global risk assessments. This rebound reflects the attraction of long positions due to improved odds [7]. Sector Strategy - The report highlights the transition of the cycle towards manufacturing, with new energy leading the manufacturing market. The importance of energy independence has been emphasized due to geopolitical conflicts, suggesting that mid-cap blue-chip stocks will expand from a simple cyclical price increase logic to a broader focus on "safety" and "independence" [3][7]. - In the photovoltaic sector, the report anticipates a valuation recovery driven by the backdrop of energy independence. The current public fund holdings in the photovoltaic industry are only 1.16%, indicating significant room for growth compared to 5.69% in mid-2022. This under-allocation suggests a potential for valuation improvement as expectations become more favorable [4][7]. - The coal sector is expected to show upward elasticity due to geopolitical tensions. The report notes that the price of thermal coal, a vital resource, may face policy constraints, while coking coal demand could rise due to improved profitability in coking enterprises. This could lead to a rebound in coking coal prices driven by fundamental factors [5][7]. Thematic Strategy - The report identifies that the new energy sector, particularly photovoltaic power, is positioned to become a core focus within the manufacturing sector. The global demand for energy is expected to continue growing, and the development of new energy sources will be a necessary choice for fossil fuel-importing countries like China and European nations [7]. - Specific stocks such as Jiejia Weichuang, Foster, and Haiyou New Materials are mentioned as potential investment opportunities within the photovoltaic sector, while companies like Huaibei Mining, Pingmei Shenma, Shanxi Coking Coal, and Lu'an Environmental Energy are highlighted in the coal sector [7].
