Core Viewpoint - The photovoltaic industry is facing significant operational pressure due to supply-demand mismatches leading to price declines, with most companies in the industry chain reporting losses [1][4]. Group 1: Industry Performance - Among 30 listed photovoltaic companies that have released half-year performance forecasts, only 8 expect positive net profits after deducting non-recurring items, with just 2 companies showing year-on-year growth [1]. - The main characteristics observed in the disclosed performance forecasts include widespread losses across the main industry chain (silicon materials, wafers, cells, and modules), slightly better performance in auxiliary materials, and a divergence in performance where leading companies with technological and management advantages are starting to see improvements [1][2]. Group 2: Company Innovations and Strategies - Companies that have reduced losses are primarily those focusing on technology, gradually driving performance recovery [2]. - Longi Green Energy's losses are expected to narrow year-on-year, benefiting from a dual focus on technological premium and market scale, particularly through its Back Contact (BC) components [2]. - Shanghai Aiko Solar Energy's losses are also decreasing, attributed to the growing market recognition of its All Back Contact (ABC) components, which have high power, safety, and aesthetic advantages [3]. Group 3: Market Trends and Price Recovery - Recent data indicates a rebound in prices across the photovoltaic industry chain, with silicon materials, wafers, and cell prices all increasing, particularly a 15% rise in wafer prices [5][6]. - The recovery in silicon material prices is expected to benefit vertically integrated companies, aiding in profit recovery [6]. - The industry is urged to shift from low-price competition to value competition focused on technological innovation and quality improvement to achieve high-quality development [6][7].
