Today, the China Photovoltaic Industry Association hosted the 2018 first half of the photovoltaic industry development review and the second half of the formal outlook seminar held in Beijing. More than 500 people from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Energy Administration, the Water Regulation Institute, the National Development and Reform Commission Energy Research Institute, the State Grid Energy Research Institute, and other members of the association, the media and related parties attended the conference.

Wang Weiwei, Director of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, mainly views:

1. Seriously understand the trade trends between China and the United States.

2. Correctly face industry iteration and development. It is not possible to repeat the construction of repeated inefficient investments.

3. There are only a handful of new industry ups and downs, and the industry has to adapt to the new normal.

4. Accelerate the improvement of technical iterations.

5. Strengthen industry technology access.

Director of the Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, Director Xiong Minfeng:

1. The development of solar energy is an inevitable requirement of the energy revolution. It is China's strategic deployment.

2. Photovoltaic power generation was 82.39 billion, an increase of 59% year-on-year. Distributed 12.24GW, an increase of 72% year-on-year.

3. Reduce non-technical costs and optimize scale development. Strong support for local development, local application, and support for distribution.

4. Accelerate the acceleration of parity online. Start a cheap online demonstration project. Promote distributed market-oriented transactions, establish a new mechanism for scale management, create a good business environment, and reduce the burden on enterprises. Firmly develop confidence, actively explore new models of affordable Internet access, and reduce the non-technical costs of local governments.
