The revised guidelines encourage photovoltaic companies to focus on technological innovation, product quality improvement, and production cost reduction, rather than merely expanding capacity.
Governments around the world are increasingly incorporating solar energy requirements into building policies. In 2025, a growing number of jurisdictions mandate or incentivize the inclusion of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in new construction.
SUN KAIFANG/FOR CHINA DAILY China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced revisions to photovoltaic manufacturing industry standards, addressing current challenges like businesses' repetitive expansion of low-level production capacity and falling profitability, to promote the PV industry's healthier development.
The central government has placed significant emphasis on renewable energy, particularly solar PV technology. China's rapidly growing PV industry greatly benefited from the domestic supportive polices. Hence, maintaining stable policy framework and expectations is pivotal for market development .
Under the “430” policy, the new management guidelines state that distributed PV projects filed before the release of these measures and commissioned by May 1, 2025, will continue to follow
