[SMM PV] Exports Grew 267%! PV Export Orders Full Production Schedule

Published: Jun 9, 2026 09:14

Customs data show that China's cumulative PV product exports from January to April 2026 were up about 43% YoY, as foreign demand remained strong despite the cancellation of export tax rebates for PV products from April 1. Especially in the Southeast Asian market, in April this year, monthly module exports were up 267% YoY.

Industry insiders believe that global new PV installations will remain above 500 GW in 2026, and that, while seizing the global new energy transition, China's PV enterprises are accelerating technological upgrades and structural optimization to achieve a shift from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement.

[SMM PV] Policies continue to strengthen, and capacity rationalization standards may be implemented at an accelerated pace
People's Daily published an article titled "PV Industry Moving Toward a More Rational, Stable, and Sustainable New Stage," and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) held an expert symposium, once again stressing the need to thoroughly rectify "involution-style" competition. It is rumored that the new round of exit standards for energy consumption and efficiency are about to be released, which could drive a 20-30% capacity rationalization in the PV sector, thereby leading the industry to quickly cross the inflection point of a new cycle. From an industry pattern perspective, as a typical asset-heavy sector, supply-side rationalization is the fastest way for the PV industry to enter a new cycle and also the most crucial anchor for the "reversal" logic traded in capital markets. The pace and intensity of policy implementation will serve as a key catalyst for the subsequent market trend.
