SMM: September 18, Longji President Li Zhenguo said at the Fifth China Photovoltaic + Innovation Development Forum, "Photovoltaic technology continues to progress, costs continue to reduce." We have reason to believe that in the next 2-3 years, photovoltaic will become the most economical power source in most parts of the world. "

With the development of the global economy, clean energy plays a more and more important role; among the renewable energy, the potential of solar photovoltaic is the most recognized. In the past decade, the technological progress and cost of photovoltaic have fallen much faster than imagined. Data show that 10 years ago, 100 yuan per wafer, now as low as 3 yuan; 10 years ago, photovoltaic modules per watt of more than 30 yuan, now 1.6-1.7 yuan per watt. At the same time, the performance of photovoltaic products has also been greatly improved. In the past two years, photovoltaic grid electricity prices have continued to set new records in areas with good lighting resources and relatively low non-technical costs, and not long ago, the Portuguese project set a world record of 1.31 cents per kWh, equivalent to less than 10 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity.

Li Zhenguo said: today, photovoltaic has achieved affordable access to the Internet in many parts of China. Specifically, the current photovoltaic construction cost is more than 3 yuan / W, which translates to 6-7 cents per kilowatt-hour, plus 2-3 cents for operation and maintenance, which is actually less than 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. "then why is the price of feed-in electricity still more than 30 cents? It is mainly because the non-technical cost is too high, and the further reduction of non-technical cost will be promoted in the follow-up. "

[SMM Tin Flash: CPCA Estimated That National New Energy Passenger Vehicle Wholesale Volume by Producers Reached 1.12 Million Units in March 2026, Flat YoY and Up 55% MoM from February]
The CPCA said today that in China’s passenger vehicle market, in February 2026, the wholesale sales of producers with new energy sales of more than 10,000 units accounted for 93% of total passenger NEV sales for the month. According to preliminary compiled data for March, the March sales of these enterprises with February new energy sales of more than 10,000 units reached 990,000 units. At present, sales figures for most producers had basically been locked in at a broad level. Some producers whose wholesale volumes were relatively low in February due to the Chinese New Year factor performed very well in March. Therefore, based on last month’s structural mix combined with this month’s data, March nationwide passenger NEV wholesale sales were estimated at 1.12 million units. In summary, based on preliminary monthly CPCA data: nationwide passenger vehicle producers’ new energy wholesale sales in March 2026 were estimated at 1.12 million units, flat YoY and up 55% MoM from February.
