Do You Know The Recent Developments in The Global Photovoltaic Industry?

Jul 18, 2025

The recent developments in the global photovoltaic industry mainly focus on policy adjustments, trade disputes, technological innovation and market layout, etc. The following is a summary of key news:
1. China's distributed photovoltaic policies are favorable
The National Energy Administration of China has revised the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects", encouraging multiple entities to participate in investment, simplifying the filing process and optimizing the subsidy mechanism. The new regulations support the application of photovoltaic power in rural areas and promote the "photovoltaic + agriculture" model. For instance, farmers in Henan Province have increased their annual income by over 3,000 yuan through rooftop photovoltaic power.
2. The United States has initiated a new trade complaint against photovoltaic enterprises in Southeast Asia
The United States International Trade Commission has initiated anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations into photovoltaic enterprises from Indonesia, India and Laos, accusing Chinese enterprises of illegal subsidies and dumping.
Previously, the United States has imposed high tariffs on photovoltaic products from four Southeast Asian countries (Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam), with the highest reaching 3,521%.
3. Indonesia's tariff adjustment has impacted photovoltaic exports
The United States has announced a 19% tariff on Indonesian goods, which may affect the cost-effectiveness of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises exporting to the United States through their Indonesian bases.
4. Chinese photovoltaic enterprises are accelerating their global layout
To avoid trade barriers, some enterprises have turned to the Middle East market.
5. Industry technological breakthroughs and domestic project progress
Longi Green Energy has set a new world record for the efficiency of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem cells and is promoting the mass production of HPBC modules.
6. The photovoltaic industry is confronted with overcapacity and policy regulation
In the first half of 2025, China's photovoltaic industry suffered losses of over 18 billion yuan, with severe pressure on the silicon material and silicon wafer segments. The government has promoted an "anti-involution" policy, requiring the elimination of backward production capacity. Leading enterprises such as Longi and Tongwei are seeking recovery through technological upgrading and global layout.
Recently, the photovoltaic industry has been affected by multiple factors such as policies, trade and technology. Chinese enterprises are accelerating their overseas layout to cope with trade barriers. Meanwhile, domestic policies support the development of distributed photovoltaic power. The industry is undergoing deep adjustment and integration.
