In 2021, the photovoltaic industry has seized the opportunities for industry development, overcome the adverse effects of repeated global epidemics, severed economic conditions, and international trade barriers, and accelerated the promotion of industrial intelligent innovation and upgrading. The overall operation of the industry is improving, achieving a good start in the "14th Five-Year Plan".

1. The whole industry has achieved steady growth. The overall supply chain of the national photovoltaic industry chain remained safe and stable. The annual output of polysilicon, silicon wafers, cells, and solar mounting system reached 505,000 tons, 227 GW, 198 GW, and 182 GW, year-on-year growth 27.5%, 40.6%, 46.9%, and 46.1% .

2. Speed up the iterative upgrade of technology. The polysilicon indicators of mainstream enterprises continued to improve to meet the needs of N-type cells, and the technology of large-scale silicon wafers and thinning technology accelerated; , HJT battery mass production speed up.

3. Smart photovoltaics are developing rapidly. The integration of new-generation information technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and industrial Internet with the photovoltaic industry has accelerated, and the level of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent operation and maintenance, and intelligent scheduling of the photovoltaic industry(solar racking manufacturers) has gradually improved. The pilot demonstration of smart photovoltaics has achieved initial results, and systematic solutions in construction, transportation, agriculture and other fields have been introduced.

4. The market application continues to expand. As the world accelerates its response to climate change, the photovoltaic market(Solar panel mount industry included) demand continues to increase. In 2021, China's photovoltaic product exports will exceed 28.4 billion US dollars. Domestic carbon peaking and carbon neutralization are actively promoted, the construction of large-scale photovoltaic power generation bases is accelerated, the county's promotion of distributed photovoltaic and smart photovoltaic innovation and development action plans and other policies continue to be implemented, and public service platforms such as standards and testing are continuously optimized.
