In 2023, the photovoltaic manufacturing industry in our province will achieve a revenue of more than 290 billion yuan, rising to the third place in the country. From the well-known "hometown of quartz" to the world-renowned "world photovoltaic capital", and then to the province's efforts to chase "light", in recent years, the development of Anhui's photovoltaic industry is particularly exciting.
Time: Green leads the pursuit of "light" chain by chain.
In the context of "carbon neutrality", new energy, represented by photovoltaic and energy storage, is the main force of renewable energy and has become one of the fastest-growing emerging industries in the world. Choose early, choose accurately, and run fast, so as to win the opportunity for the development of Anhui's photovoltaic industry.
As early as 2018, Chuzhou took advantage of quartz sand resources, grabbed the beach, anchored the photovoltaic industry as the first direction of industrial development, and attracted LONGi Solar, a leading enterprise in the photovoltaic industry, to start construction and put into operation in the same year. According to the relevant person in charge of the Chuzhou Investment Promotion Bureau, from 2018 to the present, the local government has successively contacted 20 photovoltaic companies around the world, and now 9 have settled in Chuzhou.
Not only in Chuzhou, but also in the whole province, accelerating the gathering of market players and vigorously attracting leading enterprises in the global advanced photovoltaic field is also an important way for Anhui to seize opportunities. Among the top 10 companies in the world in terms of shipments, there are 7 photovoltaic glass companies, 4 photovoltaic cell companies, 5 photovoltaic module companies, and 2 photovoltaic inverter companies, which have been deployed and developed in Anhui. At the same time, a number of local enterprises such as Sungrow, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, and Huasheng New Energy have accelerated their growth, and Anhui has 19 national-level specialized and new "little giant" enterprises in the field of advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage, and 4 listed companies. Guided by the "bipolar" of Hefei and Chuzhou, a new pattern of photovoltaic industry with characteristic layout and competitive development in Bengbu, Lu'an, Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Xuancheng, Fuyang and other places has been formed. It is understood that in order to further improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain, in the next step, our province will integrate relevant policy resources for the key industrial chain of solar photovoltaic, compile and sort out the "one chain and one policy" support plan for the photovoltaic industry, and further consolidate and expand the advantages of industrial development.
Geographical advantage: production and sales are booming, and the wind and "light" are unlimited.
Plan and then act, skillfully use the location advantage to lay out the industry, and go to the world. Soldering, nesting, laminating, framing, ......It only takes 18 seconds, and there is a module with a smooth surface in the intelligent photovoltaic module production workshop of Daheng Energy Co., Ltd. in Luyang Economic Development Zone, Hefei City, which is understood to produce more than 10,000 full-screen modules every day to the global market.
Similar PV product production scenarios abound in Anhui. "In recent years, relying on the advantages of quartz sand resources and the advantages of convenient location for export, our province has cultivated photovoltaic glass, cells, modules, inverters and other industrial chain advantages. Feng Kejin, director of the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology, said that in 2022, the output of photovoltaic glass in Anhui Province will reach 8.26 million tons, accounting for 51% of the country4%;PV inverter shipments reached 83GW, accounting for about 30% of the world's total, ranking among the top in the world. In the first three quarters of 2023, the output of photovoltaic cells and modules in Anhui Province will reach 51GW and 79GW respectively, accounting for 86% and 225% rose to 141% and 241%。
Production and sales are booming, and the motivation is more sufficient. In the third quarter of 2023, the scale of cross-border e-commerce transactions in Hefei will reach the first place in the country in the field of photovoltaic new energy segmentation. With the construction of Hefei's large logistics system, it is becoming more and more convenient for "Made in Anhui" photovoltaic products to go international, and the China-Europe freight station has provided good services for the export of photovoltaic modules, and as of the end of November 2023, the shipment of photovoltaic products in Hefei Freight Center alone has reached 6,514 vehicles and 18590,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 67782%。The advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage industries have become important pillar industries in Anhui.
People: Innovation empowers Mu "light" to move forward.
With both the right time and place, and the matter is man-made, adhere to innovation and leadership, and Anhui's photovoltaic industry is moving steadily. How to help the upgrading of industrial physique and accelerate the progress towards the middle and high end of the value chain? Empowering industrial development through innovation has become Anhui's choice.
Relying on leading enterprises in the industry such as Sungrow, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Huasheng New Energy, and universities and research institutes such as China University of Science and Technology and Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, a large number of innovative achievements in the field of advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage, such as the world's first 35kV medium-voltage direct-hung photovoltaic inverter, the world's highest power heterojunction module, the world's highest efficiency large-area single-junction perovskite cell, and ultra-low-cost new solid-state battery electrolyte, have been born in Anhui.
Not long ago, Anhui issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Innovation and Leading the High-quality Development of Advanced Photovoltaic and New Energy Storage Industry Clusters", making it clear that by 2025, the province's advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage industry will strive to achieve an operating income of more than 500 billion yuan; By 2027, we will strive to achieve an operating income of more than 750 billion yuan and cultivate 1-2 leading enterprises with global competitiveness.
