gigawatts. Photovoltaic power generation in the unprecedented development opportunities and space, but also facing many challenges, photovoltaic technology innovation will become a key factor to deal with these challenges.
We will strengthen
technological innovation, increase the value of comprehensive land use, and promote large-scale development of photovoltaic energy. It is estimated that the potential of solar energy development in China can reach 100 billion kilowatts, but considering
the ecological red line and basic farmland, about 44% of China's land area cannot be used for photovoltaic and other new energy projects. The National Forestry and Grassland Administration and other departments have increasingly standardized requirements

and other grid related performance.

bases, new application forms such as the integration of photovoltaic buildings, photovoltaic and transportation, and the integrated development of new infrastructure have put forward new requirements on the performance of photovoltaic products and photovoltaic
power generation system. It is necessary to combine specific application conditions to continuously promote the development of photovoltaic power generation related technologies.
Improve the whole life cycle of photovoltaic power generation
green industry chain. With the rapid growth of photovoltaic power generation installed scale in China in recent years, the issue of photovoltaic module recycling at the end of life has been increasingly concerned. Combined with the growth of photovoltaic
power generation scale in China, it is expected that China will usher in the first demand peak of photovoltaic module recycling around 2040. In the long run, under the requirement of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, it is urgent to improve the harmless
recycling and treatment technology of photovoltaic modules due to expire, push it to industrialization, and complete the last link of the green industry chain of the whole life cycle of photovoltaic power generation.
Strong capacity to ensure
the implementation of photovoltaic development goals. In 2020, China's photovoltaic module production capacity 244.3 million kw, the actual output of 124.6 million kW, about 60% of the modules sold overseas, "14th five-year" period still need to further
improve the capacity of photovoltaic products guarantee. On the one hand, it is necessary to further develop the intelligent manufacturing technology of photovoltaic cells, modules, inverters and other core components, improve the level of intelligent
