China’s solar firms have suffered massive losses this year due to severe overcapacity across the industry that’s led to a price war and bankruptcies. Polysilicon makers have already paused some production, and the sector is expected to be the first in the solar supply chain to emerge from the shakeout due to the high cost of restarting output.

Benefiting from a complete life-cycle supply chain and rapid advancements in PV power generation technology, China has emerged as a leader, achieving significant cost reductions and shaping the landscape of solar energy on a global scale," said Jiang Yali, a solar sector analyst at BloombergNEF.
Stocks of several Chinese solar companies surged on Wednesday amid rumours that Beijing will unveil new rules for solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing to curb oversupply and a price war in the sector. Xinyi Solar jumped 12 per cent to HK$3.80, and GCL Technology Holdings rallied 25 per cent to HK$1.50 in Hong Kong.

According to the global solar cell laboratory's highest efficiency chart published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, as of Dec 15, Chinese entities broke records five times, and maintained seven current records.
