On August 19, 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Central Social Work Department, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Energy Administration jointly held a symposium on the photovoltaic industry, outlining measures to further regulate the competitive order within the sector.
Li Lecheng, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Vice Minister Xiong Jijun chaired the session. Representatives from relevant photovoltaic manufacturing and power generation enterprises, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, and heads of local industrial and information technology authorities also participated in the meeting.
The meeting clearly outlined four key requirements: One is Strengthen industrial regulation Strengthen investment management for photovoltaic industry projects, and promote the orderly exit of outdated production capacity through market-oriented and rule-of-law approaches. Second, Curbing Low-Price, Chaotic Competition Establish a sound price monitoring and product pricing mechanism, and crack down on illegal and non-compliant activities such as selling below cost and engaging in false marketing. Third, Standardize product quality Combatting activities such as compromising quality control, falsely labeling product power ratings, and infringing intellectual property rights. Fourth is Support industry self-regulation Leverage the role of industry associations, promote fair competition and orderly development, strengthen innovation-driven leadership, firmly uphold the bottom line of quality and safety, and effectively safeguard a healthy and thriving industry environment.
The convening of this symposium has been seen within the industry as a significant signal that the national level is taking action to "combat involution," marking a new stage in the governance of the photovoltaic sector—moving from corporate self-regulation toward a dual-driven approach combining policy guidance with market mechanisms.
