After decades of development, the PV industry has become one of the rare strategic emerging industries in China which has established international competitive advantages, has achieved end-to-end automatic control, and is expected to take the lead in becoming a high-quality development model. It is also an important engine to drive the energy revolution in China. At present, the PV industry in China ranks among the top in the world in terms of manufacturing scale, industrial technology level, application market expansion and industrial system construction.

In order to lead the development direction of the industry and guide the healthy and sound development of the PV industry in China, with guidance from the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Photovoltaic Industry Association and CCID Thinktank Institute of Integrated Circuits have released five versions of China PV Industry Development Roadmap. On this basis, we organized industry experts to compile the China PV Industry Development Roadmap (2021-2022) (“the Roadmap (2021-2022)”), which covers all links upstream and downstream of the PV industry chain, including polysilicon, silicon rod/ingot/wafer, cell, module, inverter and system, with a total of 41 key indexes. According to the physical conditions of the industry, together with the technological evolution process and the existing enterprise technological transformation conditions, the Roadmap (2021-2022) provides the summary of development in 2021 and prediction of the development trends in 2022, 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2030. These indexes, which reflect the development status and development trend of industry, technology and market, are forward-looking to a certain extent and can serve as a reference for friends from all walks of life. We will make appropriate adjustments to these indexes according to the industrial development and changes so that they can reflect the physical conditions of the industry in a more timely and more accurate manner and better guide the development of the industry.

During the compilation of the Roadmap (2021-2022), industrial authorities, industrial experts and various enterprises in the industry chain have offered their help, and hereby we would like to express our gratitude. Due to the time constraints and our limited experience and ability, if anything inaccurate is found, please inform us so that we can make further improvement in subsequent revisions.
