The **Abstract** section of the document highlights that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Electronic Information Department has recently released a draft for public comments on the "Regulations on the Standardization of the Photovoltaic Manufacturing Industry." Bai Hongqiang, secretary-general of the China Silicon Industry Green Development Strategy Alliance, emphasized that these new "Conditions" set strict and high-level requirements for project scale and photoelectric conversion efficiency. The standards are particularly rigorous for crystalline silicon projects, while also introducing new criteria for thin-film battery components.
Bai pointed out that the regulations signal a shift in government support from direct financial incentives to a more technology-driven approach. Instead of offering subsidies, the state will focus on raising industry entry barriers through technical standards, aiming to enhance overall competitiveness by promoting industrial restructuring and technological upgrades.
One of the key thresholds outlined in the Conditions is the requirement for new photovoltaic manufacturing projects to maintain a minimum capital ratio of 20%. Additionally, companies must invest no less than 3% of their annual sales revenue or at least 10 million yuan in R&D and process improvement costs.
In terms of project scale and efficiency, the regulations specify that polysilicon projects must have an annual output of over 3,000 tons, and thin-film battery module production should reach at least 50 megawatts per year. Existing facilities must meet certain efficiency benchmarks—16% for polycrystalline silicon cells and 17% for monocrystalline silicon cells. For thin-film technologies such as silicon-based, CIGS, CdTe, the minimum efficiency levels are set at 8%, 10%, 11%, and 10%, respectively.
New projects are required to exceed these thresholds even further, with polycrystalline and monocrystalline modules reaching 16.5% and 17.5% efficiency, and thin-film components achieving 12%, 12%, 13%, and 12% respectively. The Conditions also include detailed guidelines on resource utilization and energy consumption, ensuring sustainability and efficiency across the industry.
According to Bai, the stringent requirements for crystalline silicon are designed to push companies toward restructuring or adopting advanced technologies, ultimately strengthening the global competitiveness of China’s photovoltaic sector. He added that under pressure from the EU's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, domestic PV firms are increasingly focusing on expanding into new markets and integrating vertically along the supply chain.
Currently, China's overcapacity is mainly in crystalline silicon products, with only a few companies involved in thin-film technology. The introduction of these conditions is expected to drive innovation in raw material production and encourage the industry to explore new growth areas. Overall, the regulations represent a strategic move toward long-term sustainable development and technological leadership in the global solar energy market.
