With the rapid development of space technology and commercial spaceflight, space PV, as the core energy source for spacecraft, is becoming a key technology supporting strategic missions such as space exploration, satellite communications, and space solar power stations. Meanwhile, the expansion of emerging scenarios like the low-altitude economy and high-altitude drones is imposing higher demands for high efficiency, light weight, and high reliability of PV systems in extreme environments, driving the extension of space PV toward integrated aerospace applications. As a frontier field of deep integration between PV and aerospace, space PV is an important direction for China to seize the strategic high ground in energy and expand new spaces for PV applications. Developing lower-cost space PV technology to support the future large-scale development of the space PV market requires pooling resources from PV, aerospace, satellite, and other sectors to advance collaboratively. To this end, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) plans to openly solicit experts from across society to jointly carry out policy research, technical breakthroughs, and standard development for the space PV industry.
