CPIA executive secretary-general Liu Yiyang said at the 2026 PV Industry
Technology meeting that the sector remains in a deep adjustment phase but
exports are holding up and technological innovation is the core resilience
through the cycle. He said manufacturers must use technology upgrades to lower
costs, improve quality and maintain quality baselines, while the application
side should shift from build-heavy models to operations-focused approaches to
unlock scenario value. CPIA will continue to host technical exchange platforms,
push against destructive internal competition and promote full-industry-chain
coordination to move China’s PV industry from scale to value leadership. Deputy
secretary-general Jiang Hua said the supply side will rely on standards to drive
an orderly exit of inefficient capacity, while demand-side growth will be
pursued through compute-power coordination and space-based photovoltaics.
