From following to the rulemaking, China wants to introduce photovoltaic standards

Just a few days ago, the 2012 China (Chengdu) New Energy International Summit brought attention to a potential game-changer for the photovoltaic industry. Relevant departments are reportedly preparing to introduce a mandatory certification and testing system, which could be rolled out as early as next year. Concurrently, the Ministry of Commerce is actively working on foreign aid initiatives tailored specifically for the photovoltaic sector. These efforts, focusing on over 40 African nations, aim to push Chinese companies towards globalization. On November 9, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant bodies jointly issued a notice regarding the declaration of solar and optoelectronic building application demonstration projects, clarifying subsidy standards. This appears to be the second round of "rescue measures" formulated by the authorities for China's PV industry. While these policies bring unprecedented benefits, their impact at the industrial level remains underwhelming. On November 14, the Wind Solar Power Generation Index dipped to a recent low of 627.59 points during trading but rebounded to close at 634.26 points. Industry insiders interviewed by the Securities Daily generally agree that despite continuous government support, China's photovoltaic production capacity, which accounts for over 50% of the global market, still faces severe overcapacity issues, with much of this excess capacity remaining unabsorbed domestically. The effects of these policies haven't yet fully materialized. In July, the National Energy Administration announced the 12th Five-Year Plan for solar power development, raising the target from 15GW to 21GW, with a particular emphasis on distributed generation systems, which are expected to reach 10GW. Meanwhile, the scale of centralized photovoltaic power generation will be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, the plan includes a 1GW solar thermal power generation segment. Since then, numerous positive developments have emerged, including the issuance of notices for distributed photovoltaic power generation demonstration zones by the National Energy Administration in September and the State Grid's publication of guidelines for distributed photovoltaic power generation in late October. Furthermore, the China Development Bank’s backing of twelve major PV companies signifies significant support, both financially and policy-wise. These actions are largely viewed positively by the industry. Despite this, domestic polysilicon and component prices have continued to fall in the third quarter, outpacing advancements in technology or cost-saving measures. Worse still, data from Wind Information shows that the total operating revenue of listed PV companies dropped by 2.52% in the first three quarters, narrowing only slightly by 3.53% compared to the semi-annual report. Gross margins in the industry have fallen to 15.33%, down 0.31% from the previous half-year period and 2.16% lower than 2011 levels. The Wind report notes that the PV industry's asset health continues to deteriorate, casting doubt on claims of a resurgence. The second round of measures appears even more robust. Given the current situation, it's evident that further intervention is needed. Sun Guangbin, Secretary-General of the Solar Energy Branch of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products, stated that "this policy aims to improve enterprise technical quality through mandatory certification and testing systems, reducing the number of exporting enterprises and increasing barriers to entry. Foreign products entering China must also comply with these certifications." He emphasized that establishing national certification centers and setting national standards are essential. From another angle, "in the future, all PV products entering the Chinese market must adhere to China's PV standards. These standards will also guide foreign aid and exports of China's PV products," an insider told the Securities Daily. Progress is indeed underway. Reports indicate that several national standards for distributed power access to the grid are under review, along with national standards for photovoltaic power generation distribution networks submitted to the National Standards Committee. These developments highlight the Ministry of Commerce's commitment to aiding Chinese enterprises in going global, receiving widespread approval within the industry. As one insider noted, "This initiative not only offers major opportunities for breakthroughs in the Chinese PV industry but also provides valuable lessons for exploring other emerging markets."
