光伏系列专家会- 25H2供需展望

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The conference call focuses on the photovoltaic (PV) industry, specifically the outlook for supply and demand in 2025, with an emphasis on domestic demand trends and production capacities across various segments of the industry [1][2][3]. Core Insights and Arguments - 2025 Domestic PV Demand: The demand for PV in China is expected to show a stable construction trend for centralized projects, a cautious approach for household PV due to policy uncertainties, and steady growth in commercial PV [1][3]. - Centralized Project Installations: Optimistically, the new installed capacity for centralized projects could reach between 270 to 289 GW in 2025, with centralized projects potentially accounting for over 45% of total installations, driven by last year's demand and procurement by state-owned enterprises [1][4]. - Distributed PV Projects: The distributed PV sector is currently in a wait-and-see mode due to unclear provincial electricity pricing policies, particularly affecting household PV installations [2][5]. - Silicon Production and Supply: In July 2025, polysilicon production is projected to be between 105,000 to 106,000 tons, with major producers operating at around 50% capacity due to maintenance and repairs [1][8][11]. - Component Production: The production of silicon wafers is expected to remain around 55 GW, while battery cell production is forecasted to decrease to approximately 57 GW. Module production is expected to stabilize at around 50 GW [1][8][9]. - Export Markets: A portion of the components produced will be exported to markets in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, with increased demand in Europe as the peak season approaches [1][9]. Additional Important Insights - Market Dynamics: The demand for commercial PV is benefiting from the transformation of corporate electricity consumption and supportive green electricity policies. However, projects like desert reclamation and offshore PV are facing regulatory hurdles and may not see significant progress until 2026 or 2027 [3][7]. - Silicon Material Pricing: The pricing for N-type dense materials is around 36 RMB/kg, with mixed package materials priced slightly lower. Downstream manufacturers are leaning towards cost-effective granular silicon due to price fluctuations [2][18][19]. - Inventory and Supply Chain: The current inventory of silicon materials is approximately 400,000 tons, with a digestion cycle expected to take 4 to 5 months. Local government policies are impacting the production decisions of polysilicon manufacturers [2][12][13]. - Future Demand Projections: The demand for PV is anticipated to grow steadily, supported by energy transition goals and the expansion of application scenarios, such as green electricity direct connections and microgrid systems [1][7]. Conclusion - The PV industry is navigating a complex landscape of policy changes, market dynamics, and production challenges. The outlook for 2025 suggests a cautious but optimistic growth trajectory, with significant reliance on centralized projects and evolving pricing strategies across the supply chain.
