Interviewees: The development of photovoltaic and storage integration business is becoming the key for photovoltaic companies to escape difficulties and create a new growth curve.

Thanks to its expansion into solar-plus-storage business, Sungrow bucked the market trend and achieved a profit of 7.7 billion yuan in the first half of this year. Its market capitalization recently surpassed 300 billion yuan, making it the third listed company in the photovoltaic industry to do so, following Longi Green Energy and Tongwei Co., Ltd. Currently, the integration of solar and energy storage is becoming a standard feature for photovoltaic companies. In addition to early adopters like Canadian Solar and Trina Solar, Longi Green Energy has recently been rumored to be acquiring an energy storage company. Industry insiders believe that with the potential for appropriate relaxation of spot market price limits in China, the combination of solar and energy storage will maximize its value as electricity price differentials widen. Furthermore, high self-use demand for energy storage is a significant need, creating a demand scenario for solar-plus-storage integration. Overall, while the fundamentals of the photovoltaic industry have improved, the outlook remains uncertain. Many interviewees believe that the development of integrated solar-plus-storage businesses, particularly energy storage, is key for photovoltaic companies to escape difficulties and forge new growth paths. However, companies that are not adequately prepared and rush into the energy storage sector during this period of intense industry competition may struggle to achieve profitability in the short term.

“Anti-involution” continues to drive photovoltaic module manufacturers to show signs of performance improvement

As of August 22, a number of photovoltaic listed companies, including Longi Green Energy, Tongwei Co., Ltd., and Trina Solar, have released their "report cards" for the first half of the year. Reporters have found that some photovoltaic module manufacturers, such as Aixu Co., Ltd. and Hongyuan Green Energy, have shown an improvement in their performance, reducing losses or turning losses into profits in the first half of the year. Experts believe that as the photovoltaic industry's "anti-involution" process continues to advance, as the price adjustments of polysilicon are gradually accepted by the downstream market, the return of module prices to the cost line is just around the corner. It may become the norm for the entire industry to maintain low-load production and low gross profit margins. In addition, the photovoltaic industry cannot only focus on the manufacturing side to promote "anti-involution" efforts, but the role of the asset side is equally critical.

Gao Jifan, Chairman of Trina Solar: In the next two to three years, the proportion of the company's solution business will increase to more than 50%

On June 10, at the opening ceremony of the SNEC PV+ 18th (2025) International Solar Photovoltaic and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition, Trina Solar Chairman and CEO Gao Jifan said that currently more than one-third of the company's business comes from solutions, and this proportion will increase to more than 50% in the next two to three years.

Gao Jifan, Chairman of Trina Solar: The mid- and downstream photovoltaic crystal pulling, slicing, and battery assembly links will be greatly integrated

On June 10, at the 2025 SNEC International Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Conference, Gao Jifan, Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, said that for the manufacturing industry or the photovoltaic industry, in order to break the internal circulation and cross the cycle, the entire industry has three things to do. The first is industry integration. Silicon materials have now begun to be integrated, and the mid- and downstream crystal pulling, slicing, and battery components will also be integrated. The second is to strictly control production capacity. At this time, no matter what technology, I don’t think it is necessary or allowed to increase any production capacity, and I believe that the relevant national departments will conduct serious investigations. The third is to strengthen intellectual property protection. The number of patents in China’s photovoltaic industry is far ahead in the world. The reason why it has finally become an industry without a threshold is that intellectual property protection is not good.

Trina Solar Chairman Gao Jifan: There is no point in arguing about which technology is better, TOPCon, BC or HJT

On June 10, at the 2025 SNEC International Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Conference, Gao Jifan, Chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, said that a large number of companies are still arguing about whether TOPCon is better, BC is better, or HJT is better. I think it makes no sense. The three N-type technologies are comparable and have some advantages in different scenarios. Moreover, these debates will further mislead some of the current over-investment in the industry. Gao Jifan believes that in the future, with the advent of perovskite stacked cells, it will be the key to the real technology entering a new historical stage. According to him, this year, Trina Solar will build a perovskite pilot production line, and its efficiency will be increased by more than four percentage points based on the efficiency of the original crystalline silicon module. A new era of perovskite integrated batteries has arrived.

Big adjustment! Liu Gesong's fund's first quarter report released

The six funds managed by Liu Gesong, a fund manager under GF Fund, announced their first quarter reports, and they are still focused on new energy vehicles, electronics, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, military industry and other fields. Liu Gesong made a large adjustment in this quarter, and Seres, Yiwei Lithium Energy and North China Huachuang were significantly reduced. At the same time, he increased his holdings in Hong Kong stocks, such as Tencent Holdings, and some funds newly entered stocks such as Trina Solar, Guangdong Hongda and Zhenhua Technology. Liu Gesong believes that the A-share market is still interpreting the logic of technological innovation. Under the guidance of industry self-discipline, policy subsidies, scientific and technological support and other aspects, the fundamentals of the industry will pick up and the market style will shift to performance-driven.
