on April 8, Li Qiang, member of the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, presided over a forum of economic situation experts and entrepreneurs. Li Xiande, chairman of Jingke Energy (688223) and Jingke Technology (601778), was invited to attend and made a report and speech on the current economic situation and the development of the photovoltaic industry.

Since the beginning of this year, in the face of a complex and severe external environment, my country's economic operation has continued to pick up and improve. Although there are still many difficulties and challenges, the positive factors in economic development are increasing and market confidence is increasing. Participating experts and entrepreneurs analyzed the contradictions and problems in the current economic operation from different angles, and put forward opinions and suggestions on further improving macro policies and doing a good job in economic work.

As the only invited representative of photovoltaic enterprises, Li Xiande, chairman of Jingke Energy and Jingke Technology, reported to the Prime Minister face to face. In his speech, he said that with the cumulative installed capacity of domestic photovoltaic officially surpassing hydropower, photovoltaic has become the main force to achieve the goal of "double carbon", directly promoting the shift of the focus of the global new energy industry to China. While China's industry provides a steady stream of green kinetic energy for countries around the world, it also helps China to become a leader in global energy transformation.

China's photovoltaic industry leads the world and is inseparable from continuous technological innovation. Ten years ago, the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells was only 18%. Over the past 10 years, Jingke, together with outstanding enterprises in the industry, has continuously improved the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells by 0.7 per year. Today, the mainstream mass production efficiency in the market exceeds 26%, and the laboratory efficiency exceeds 33%.

"Although China's photovoltaic industry has made remarkable achievements, the current industry still faces some practical challenges." Li Xiande said that green development has become a global consensus. Under the current background of promoting energy transformation and achieving carbon neutrality goals, photovoltaics, especially distributed photovoltaics, have become an important driving force for us to build an intelligent and efficient energy Internet. Li Xiande also suggested that the country speed up the construction of new energy storage systems, establish a market-oriented power trading model, speed up the construction of smart grids, and ensure the efficient consumption of photovoltaic power generation.

As the world's largest component supplier, JinkoSolar has provided more than 210GW of component products to more than 190 countries and regions around the world. JinkoSolar always regards technological innovation as the core driving force of enterprise development, breaking the world record for 25 times in a row, and is one of the enterprises with the most technology patents in the industry.

In recent years, JinkoSolar has firmly promoted the R & D breakthrough of N-type technology and the landing of production capacity, leading the industry to accelerate the transformation and upgrading from P-type to N-type technology, greatly improving the competitiveness of photovoltaic power generation. Through digital intelligent manufacturing and traceability supply chain, Jingke Energy has realized the effective traceability of product carbon footprint, and actively joined hands with supplier partners to drive the overall energy saving and carbon reduction of the photovoltaic industry chain.

Jingke believes that with the accelerated iteration of technology, photovoltaic power generation has become the most economical and competitive energy source, and the new power generation mode of photovoltaic + energy storage will be widely used and gradually become the main form of power supply in the future.
