Wang Bohua: The upgrading of the photovoltaic industry must promote supply-side reform through innovation

On December 15, the "Photovoltaic Ten-Year Innovation and Development Summit Forum" co-hosted by the Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association and GCL-Poly opened in Suzhou
.
At the meeting, Wang Bohua, Secretary-General of China Photovoltaic Industry Association, made the "Solar Energy (000591) Photovoltaic Industry Development Report", introduced the current situation of China's photovoltaic industry, and analyzed the future development trend
.
He said that if the development of the photovoltaic industry wants to reach a new height, all parties need to face future adjustments with a change attitude, and promote supply-side structural reform
through technological innovation.
At the same time, with the rapid decline of power generation costs, the unique diversified and diversified applications of photovoltaics will provide unlimited possibilities
for the future market.

In his speech, Wang Bohua first introduced the development of the manufacturing and application markets of China's photovoltaic industry in the first three quarters of 2016
.
He said that in the first three quarters of 2016, China's polysilicon production was about 145,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of nearly 30%; The output of silicon wafers is about 41GW, and the export volume is about 2.
339 billion pieces, of which monocrystalline exceeds 30%, and the industrial concentration is further improved; Cell production was about 34GW, an increase of more than 35% year-on-year, and India became the largest exporter of cells; Module production was about 37GW, up 30% year-on-year, and capacity utilization declined significantly in the third quarter and began to pick up
in the fourth quarter.

He also pointed out that China's photovoltaic industry has grown rapidly and has been the world's largest country in photovoltaic product manufacturing for nine consecutive years
.
At present, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants in China is still dominated by ground centralized power stations, and the proportion of distributed power stations has increased rapidly since August, and there is a scene of "national roof grabbing"
.
Driven by national and local policies, the development of distributed photovoltaics will enter the "fast lane"
.

Subsequently, he focused on analyzing and predicting the development trend
of Chinese photovoltaic companies in the future.
"The ratification of the Paris Agreement has created huge space
for the development of renewable energy around the world.
As a strategic emerging industry, with the rapid decline of power generation costs, the unique diversification and diversified applications of photovoltaics will provide unlimited possibilities
for the future market.
Wang Bohua said
.

He finally stressed that although the photovoltaic market has great development potential and is a positive and strategic industry, the European photovoltaic development experience proves that the market cannot maintain rapid development
forever.
China's PV industry has reached a new stage, but if it is to develop healthily and sustainably, all aspects need to maintain a transformative attitude
.
In the future, it is necessary to promote supply-side structural reform through technological innovation, so as to open up the market and innovate the market
.
