Lead High-Quality Development of Photovoltaic Industry in China: PV Solar Energy High-Efficiency 740W+ Club Set Up in Shanghai

China Photovoltaic Solar Energy High-Efficiency 740W+ Club is jointly initiated by high- efficiency HJT leading enterprises, and is a practice of photovoltaic product manufacturers deeply grasping and earnestly implementing the important comments of the General Secretary Xi Jinping on the development of new productive forces. 740W+ Club will become a platform to display China's photovoltaic innovation and progress, supply important power to drive efficient energy transformation and high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry in China.

The executives of ten HJT manufacturers along industry chain were present at the 740W+ Club round-table meeting, and all enthusiastic about the setup of the club, which will enable the heads of HJT sectors to make efficient decisions, identify clear collaborative development goals, integrate 740W+ high-efficiency solar energy industry supply chain, brand building, technology coordination, sales market and other links, and boost the photovoltaic industry to quickly enter the 740W+ era.

The participating member enterprises reached a consensus, and the members will organize round table meetings, forums and other exchange activities in turn from time to time to strengthen communication and cooperation, share market resources, and build a close collaborative relationship along the industrial chain.

Mr. Wang Xin, chairman of Leascend PV, presided over the round-table meeting, and pointed out that, the 740W+ Club aims to gather industry elites and jointly drive the technological innovation, industrial upgrading and ecological construction of the photovoltaic industry. Through this platform, we will strengthen the communication and cooperation between the upstream and downstream sectors of the industrial chain, achieve resource sharing, complementary advantages, mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation, and jointly str the international competitiveness of China's photovoltaic industry.

With respect to sales channels and market expansion, the entrepreneurs shared their successful experience in marketing and had an in-depth discussion on how to jointly create high-efficiency power generation systems and more attractive brand images. Mr. Xu Xiaohua, chairman of Anhui Huasun New Energy Technology, attended the round-table meeting and participated in the discussion and exchange.

Chairman Xu said that, the market's limited understanding of the characteristics of HJT products, and the high cost caused by the imperfect industrial chain system, are the main problems we are facing. We hope that 740W+ Club will respond to the needs for high-quality development of the industry and open up a "circle of high-efficiency energy transformation industry" by supply chain integration, sales channel integration, joint brand promotion, and technology sharing and co-construction.

Mr. Gao Fei, president of Grand Sunergy Technology, believed that, the photovoltaic industry may face major challenges: the challenge of market capacity, the challenge of policy supply, and the challenge of national planning and industry progress. In the face of these changes and challenges, I hope the club member enterprises will actively seek for change to embrace the market, and establish project models to form a set of HJT industry standards with indicator data.

Supply chain cost reduction, as the key to improve the economic efficiency of photovoltaic products, also received general attention of the club member enterprises. The entrepreneurs conducted adequate exchanges and discussions on how to optimize supply chain management, reduce raw material costs and improve production efficiency.

Mr. Wu Xuegang, president of Risen Energy, said that, the supply chain strategy should be oriented by cost advantage, make use of the integration advantage of the club, and resolutely boost the establishment of the procurement standards along the supply chain. Moreover, having made some achievements in integrated research and development, Risen Energy is also willing to share development experience with club members, jointly expand the market, and move forward together.

Mr. Li Xuefeng, chairman of Golden Solar, believed that, Information asymmetry along the supply chain caused the industry involution, affecting the path to HJT development, so each club member enterprise should share its supply chain information to integrate resources and directly reduce costs, and stop the industry involution.

Mr. Ni Zhichun, general manager of Zhejiang Winhitech New Energy, said that, in response to the industry cycle changes, we need to work together to move forward. The information asymmetry inside the supply chain compromised the effect of cost reduction, so by strengthening the cooperation between club members, achieving resource sharing and complementary advantages within the supply chain, we will effectively reduce costs and improve the overall competitiveness of the industry.

Ms. CAI Zhou, general operation manager of Guangdong Mingyang Photovoltaic

Ms. CAI Zhou, general operation manager of Guangdong Mingyang Photovoltaic, believed that, club member enterprises should give play to their advantages in various fields, focus on their contribution in a certain aspect, especially in the sales market and supply chain side, integrate their respective resources, and comprehensively expand domestic and oversea markets.

Mr. Zou Chenghui, chairman of Zhejiang AKCOME New Energy Technology, thought that, the implementation of the supply chain cost reduction depends on the scale and production capacity. Therefore, if the club members achieve adequate interaction and sharing between them and operate at full production capacity, maintain an open mind, the industry will flourish, and a basic price restraint mechanism along the supply chain will be established.

As for HJT product brand building, Mr. Liu Chang, co-founder of Anhui Soltrend Energy, suggested that, only a consistent set of standards will achieve a common influence among us. We should give full play to the power of media and capital, based on consensus, to achieve the establishment of industry fundamentals, and reach orderly development from objective public opinion through capital to the market on a step-by-step basis.

Mr. Chu Yifan, chairman of Guangdong QW Solar, proposed that, the development and application of technologies cannot be completed independently by any enterprise alone, but needs the joint efforts and breakthrough of the entire industry. At present, "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" is the competitiveness theme for the HJT industry. In addition to the raw materials for product production, and "qualified dynamic cost reduction" for production quality, cost control at equipment side, technological innovation at research and development side, the constant improvement at production process, and energy efficiency along   supply chain all need the club members to work together to build a strong competitiveness across the industry.

The establishment of China PV Solar Energy High-Efficiency 740W+ Club will help to boost the daily operation and smooth implementation off the club events, strengthen the communication and cooperation among the members, and build a highly close collaborative relationship along the industry chain. By holding meetings from time to time, exchanging activity information and sharing market resources, the club will become an important bridge and link between the member enterprises.

In addition, it also marks that the high-efficiency HJT solar cell leading manufacturers have made a solid step toward the high-quality development of photovoltaic solar energy in China. In the future, China PV Solar Energy High-Efficiency 740W+ Club will actively open up the core links of research, development, manufacturing and application, jointly build a new modern industrial system, jointly shape a new pattern of science and innovation collaboration, build a new model of industry-finance integration, develop new examples of low-carbon applications, and contribute China's strength to the development of global clean energy.
