One European and American country's "double opposition" against China's photovoltaic industry has brought two new terms into the spotlight: "photovoltaic" and "double opposition." A dramatic transformation in China's solar power sector has led to completely different opinions among those who care about it. While arguments between passersby can be light-hearted, the photovoltaic industry is anything but trivial. Over the past decade, China's solar industry has grown significantly, involving trillions of assets and creating over 500,000 jobs. For the future of this vital sector, an objective analysis is essential. Fortunately, the newly released "Global 500 Research and Evaluation of New Energy Companies" offers a balanced look at the industry's history, and the State Council recently held a special meeting to outline its future strategy. Let's take a closer look at the Chinese PV industry that is "better than you think": First, no matter how much we rely on traditional energy sources, they are finite and cause pollution. As intelligent beings, humans have recognized this and turned to renewable energy like photovoltaics. However, the cost of doing good things can be high. In 2007, the price of photovoltaic modules was around 25 yuan per watt, making solar power nearly ten times more expensive than coal. Today, module prices have dropped below 5 yuan, and in regions with average sunlight, the cost of solar electricity is already comparable to traditional energy in China and near parity in Europe. Recently, Spain launched a fully unsubsidized solar power plant—proof of what the global solar community once thought impossible. This achievement is largely due to the efforts of the Chinese PV industry, which has played a key role in driving down costs and improving efficiency. So, the Chinese PV industry is not just "good"—it's better than people realize. Second, while China was a latecomer in the PV space, starting almost from scratch, it managed to capture over 60% of the global market in just ten years. Leading companies now dominate the top ranks worldwide, proving that Chinese firms can compete and thrive under international standards and even benefit from foreign subsidies. This success has created a strong, competitive group of PV enterprises, setting a positive example for other industries. Now, let’s consider the side of the Chinese PV industry that is "worse than you think": The "double opposition" has exposed some weaknesses. With intense market competition, many uncompetitive companies have failed, and some projects have suffered heavy losses. This is part of the natural market process. However, deeper issues remain. Many PV companies still rely heavily on vertical integration and scale-driven strategies, rather than innovation and technology. This reliance on traditional methods makes it difficult to transition toward a more sustainable and advanced industrial model. Historically, China has struggled to move beyond manufacturing and into high-tech sectors, as seen in industries like TVs, mobile phones, and automobiles. For the PV industry to truly develop, it must shift toward technological leadership, which remains a challenge. Another major issue is the slow implementation of supportive policies. Although the government has introduced various measures, the gap between policy and real-world application remains wide. For instance, despite the importance of distributed solar and feed-in tariffs, these mechanisms are not yet fully realized. This creates frustration among investors and developers, who face unclear or delayed approval processes. The disconnect between policy and market hinders the industry's growth and reflects deeper structural challenges in China's regulatory environment. The PV industry is unique—it requires close cooperation between policy and the market. It is both a general industry and one with specific characteristics. On one hand, it must follow the historical development trajectory of the nation. On the other, it challenges existing systems and interests. As a result, the development of the PV industry is not just about technology or economics—it's about broader industrial reform. Therefore, the challenges facing the industry are deep-rooted and complex. So, how should we view the current state of the Chinese PV industry? The truth lies somewhere between optimism and caution. While there are clear signs of progress, there are also significant hurdles. People today tend to think in simple, utilitarian ways, but the reality is more nuanced. According to philosophical principles, every object has two sides. These contradictions can change depending on circumstances. In short, the Chinese PV industry is at a critical stage where both opportunities and challenges coexist. Looking ahead, I remain confident in the resilience of China's PV industry. Two key factors support this belief. First, despite the difficulties, China's PV companies have proven their ability to survive and grow. Even in a tough global market, they continue to compete effectively. Second, the government's strong support shows a long-term commitment to the industry. While some argue that China lacks equipment and domestic markets, these are common challenges faced by all emerging industries. What matters is how well companies adapt and evolve. With the right policies and market conditions, the future of China's PV industry looks promising. The recent release of the "Top 500" list may seem like a business ranking, but its significance goes beyond that. It represents an effort to set global standards for the new energy sector. For too long, such standards were defined by developed countries. Now, China is stepping up to lead. This shift reflects the growing influence of the Chinese PV industry on the global stage. As the industry continues to develop, it will play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of clean energy worldwide.
