China's Solar Sector Faces Prolonged Glut, Longi Seeks Innovation
China's solar sector, including major manufacturer Longi Green Energy Technology Co., is facing continued losses and oversupply for up to two years, according to analysts. Longi has stated that prices are unlikely to surpass costs in the near future, leading to industry-wide losses persisting due to oversupply.The deepening glut in China's solar industry is a result of production exceeding demand, with major firms like Longi reporting losses in the first quarter. Longi is focusing on new technology that is more efficient in converting solar energy into electricity, but it is not yet cost-competitive. Analysts caution against expecting a fundamental recovery in the sector, with Longi predicting only a slight price recovery in the next three months. Is China's solar industry facing prolonged losses and oversupply? The oversupply in China's solar industry is expected to persist for up to two years, leading to continued losses for major manufacturers like Longi Green Energy Technology Co. Longi has stated that prices are unlikely to surpass costs in the near future, further exacerbating the industry-wide losses.

China’s polysilicon leaders form acquisition vehicle to tackle oversupply
China’s biggest polysilicon players have set up Beijing Guanghe Qiancheng Technology, a 3-billion-yuan acquisition company designed to explore partnerships and potentially tidy up a market drowning in surplus capacity. Tongwei’s unit holds roughly 30% of the new firm, with GCL Technology and other state-linked and private backers filling out the shareholder list. Analysts say the entity could pursue consolidation or efficiency upgrades—though shuttering excess capacity will be politically delicate in provinces reliant on factory jobs. Reuters Polysilicon is the keystone of solar manufacturing, and China’s build-out overshot demand, crushing prices and margins across the chain. An OPEC-style cut was floated this year, but crafting a mechanism that satisfies local governments, lenders, and corporate strategies is complex. An acquisition vehicle offers a more flexible tool: pick off distressed assets, standardize processes, and reduce the least efficient volumes without blunt caps.   If executed, consolidation could stabilize pricing, improve quality, and reduce wastage—benefits that would ripple to wafer, cell, and module makers worldwide. For downstream developers, healthier manufacturers mean steadier delivery schedules and warranties with real teeth.
