On the afternoon of January 28, 2026, Li Lecheng, Secretary of the Party Group and Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, presided over a symposium for entrepreneurs in the photovoltaic industry. Xiong Jijun, Vice Minister of the Ministry, attended the meeting. The meeting closely followed the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on high-quality industrial development, focused on the current development status and prominent issues of the photovoltaic industry, and extensively listened to the opinions and suggestions of key enterprises and representatives of the Photovoltaic Industry Association on the work of “anti-involution”. This laid a solid practical foundation for subsequent precise policy implementation and promotion of industry governance. As an important component of China’s strategic emerging industries, the photovoltaic industry has experienced rapid expansion in scale in recent years. However, issues such as “involution-style” competition have gradually emerged, affecting the sustained and healthy development of the industry. The convening of this symposium is timely and has pointed out the direction for the industry’s development.
The meeting clearly pointed out that under the current situation, “anti-involution” has become the main contradiction and key task of standardized governance in the photovoltaic industry. In response to the problems of vicious competition and imbalanced production capacity in the industry, the meeting proposed to adhere to systematic thinking and comprehensive measures. Relevant departments need to strengthen coordination and collaboration, and comprehensively utilize multiple means such as reasonable regulation of production capacity, guidance of standard systems, product quality supervision, market price enforcement, monopoly risk prevention, intellectual property protection, and technological innovation incentives to solve development problems through marketization and legalization. This series of measures not only aims to resolve prominent contradictions at present but also focuses on building a long-term mechanism in the long run, aiming to curb disorderly competition at its root and promote the optimal allocation of industry resources.
The meeting emphasized that the return of the photovoltaic industry to a track of healthy competition and rational development requires concerted efforts from multiple parties. The industry authorities should strengthen overall coordination, refine and implement various policies and measures, and ensure that governance work is effective on the ground. The photovoltaic industry association should actively perform its function as a bridge and link, promote industry self-discipline in accordance with laws and regulations, innovate supervision methods, and resolutely break down institutional and market barriers to “involutionary” competition. The vast number of photovoltaic enterprises should take the initiative to act responsibly, focus on technological research and development and quality improvement, abandon the short-term profit-driven vicious competition mindset, jointly create an industry ecosystem driven by innovation, fair competition, and coordinated development, and promote the photovoltaic industry to steadily and sustainably advance on the path of high-quality development.
