Conclusions Renewable energy sources have recently become more and more important, and in this sense the installed capacities of PV power plants have increased exponentially since 2010. Assuming a lifetime of PV plants of 27 years, capacities will reach the end of their lifetime in the period from 2027 to 2050.
Customers amid warranty or service agreements may find themselves without support. The reduction in active contractors could lead to less competition, potentially impacting pricing and service quality in the short term. These closures could temporarily slow down the rate of new solar installations.
The three inverters used for the solar plant. Maintenance teams quickly identified the source of the fire. Indeed, traces of wear on the cables that connect the modules to the transmission terminals had been observed since October 2021.
China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) industry’s protracted battle with overcapacity may be drawing to a close, after years of bruising price wars and rapid capacity build-up plunged half the sector into the red, forcing closures and disrupting expansion plans, analysts say.
“Considering the recent accelerated clearing of production capacity, we believe that the supply and demand situation of the photovoltaic industry could be corrected for the better in 2024,” said Wu Bohua and Cao Haihua, analysts at Changjiang Securities this month.
In conclusion, while the closure of several solar contractors in 2023 poses immediate challenges, the underlying strength and potential of the solar industry remain intact. Homeowners affected by these closures have avenues for support, and the long-term outlook for solar energy continues to be bright and promising.
