Asia Pacific solar and also wind financial investments to double by 2030-- Wood Mackenzie
China, Japan, India, South Korea as well as Taiwan are expected to be top factors to renewables investments in the area, which is readied to add an average of 140GW of solar as well as wind capacity every year by the end of the decade, accounting for two-thirds of complete power capability enhancements. With China aiming for greater than 1,200 GW of installed solar and wind by 2030, Wood Mackenzie forecasts this will certainly call for at the very least 534GW of renewables to be added in the next years. Since March this year, the country had 259GW of mounted solar, and also the sector is readied to be increased by new actions focused on fast-tracking PV project growth. Southeast Asia is set to gain from US$ 14 billion of yearly solar and wind financial investments by 2040, creating simply under half of overall power financial investments in the region. Vietnam was a star performer in 2020, with greater than 9GW of roof PV mounted before a feed-in toll due date. In other places, Malaysia is set to increase its mounted solar capacity fourfold by the end of the decade, according to research study from working as a consultant Fitch Solutions, many thanks partly to enhanced financing rewards and also the country's successful tender policy. " Southeast Asia is just one of the best solar market regions in the world, with mounted capacity greater than increasing every year since 2018. There will certainly be a short-lived slow down with subsidies drew back, however the area will certainly add over 100GW of solar in the next 10 years," claimed Wood Mackenzie elderly expert Rishab Shrestha claimed. Southeast Asia is likewise anticipated to be a crucial location for module shipments from Seraphim, whose head of state informed PV Tech previously this month that the manufacturer is aiming to build on a host of supply deals in the region, as well as in Australia as well as Europe. The China-headquartered company introduced strategies late last year for a 750MW module setting up plant in Vietnam that will certainly generate its S3 and also S4 series half-cell modules. With Asia Pacific at the epicentre of solar technology advancement, Wood Mackenzie claimed the area is the test area of new technologies that have wonderful potential to lower solar capital expenditure along with procedures as well as upkeep expenses. Principal analyst Xiaojing Sun added: "Solar's economic competition rests on the market's ongoing leverage on new innovations to reduce levelised price of electricity, rise project integrity and improve electricity production. We are going to see lots of technology developments flourishing in the region in the coming years."

China’s Solar Makers Signal Progress Amid Losses And Overcapacity Shakeout
China’s solar industry is still feeling the sting of oversupply—yet a turning point may be forming. Bloomberg reporting indicates manufacturers remain deeply in the red, but investors are beginning to detect progress on curbing “disordered competition,” trimming output, and shifting focus to higher-efficiency products. After a year of bruising price wars across polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules, any stabilization would be welcome. The stakes are global. Chinese producers dominate each upstream step; when prices collapse beyond cash costs, quality, warranties and service can suffer. Conversely, a more orderly market could rebalance margins, lift R&D spending and create breathing room for non-Chinese producers in wafers and cells—diversifying a supply chain that has proven both world-class and fragile. Policy signals matter here. Beijing has pressed manufacturers to stop below-cost selling and align output with demand, while provincial leaders juggle local jobs and national directives. Investors will watch for concrete moves: permanent closures of inefficient lines, stricter standards on energy intensity and product reliability, and discipline if prices recover. Without those, utilization could remain depressed and the shake-out drag on. For buyers, the near-term message is mixed. Module costs might tick up from extreme lows, but steadier supply and bankable warranties reduce project risk. For project finance, that tradeoff often pencils—especially when paired with tax incentives or domestic-content bonuses in import markets. Bottom line: the road out of oversupply is bumpy, but attempts to restore pricing power and rationalize capacity are gathering attention. How far—and how fast—China moves will shape solar costs and availability worldwide in 2026 and beyond.

Chinese Solar Stocks Jump On Hopes Of Industry Stabilization Ahead
China’s solar complex finally caught a tailwind. The CSI Photovoltaic Industry Index rose as much as 5.9% today, with names like Sungrow and CSI Solar leading gains. The catalyst: growing confidence that policy support and industry self-help could steady a market battered by overcapacity and below-cost selling through much of 2024–2025. After a year of relentless margin compression across silicon, wafers, cells and modules, any hint of stabilization is a relief valve for investors. Recent briefings from manufacturers have hinted at a turning point, citing consultations with authorities on curbing “disordered competition” and favoring efficiency upgrades over capacity additions. If those talks translate into firmer discipline—and ultimately into retirements of outdated lines—spot prices could lift from extreme lows, restoring some headroom for R&D and service. But the path is delicate: provincial interests, bank exposures, and employment concerns complicate any rapid consolidation. For global buyers, the implications are mixed. Module prices might rise modestly, tightening budgets for late-2025 and 2026 projects; at the same time, steadier suppliers and stronger warranties reduce execution risk—a trade many lenders will accept. Watching polysilicon utilization and wafer spot prices will offer early clues on whether capacity is truly exiting or just idling. The rally doesn’t erase the sector’s structural pressures, but it does suggest investors are beginning to price a move from crisis management to normalization. If follow-through is real—standards, enforcement, financing discipline—China’s PV supply chain could emerge leaner and more predictable, rippling through global project economics next year.

Longi's Solar Job Cuts Signal Industry Turbulence
China's Longi Green Energy Technology Co., the world's largest solar manufacturer, is cutting almost one-third of its staff to reduce costs due to overcapacity and intense competition in the industry. The company plans to trim up to 30% of its workforce, which totaled about 80,000 last year. Longi began layoffs in November, primarily affecting management trainees and factory hires, as the solar sector struggles with excessive capacity and price pressures.The solar industry in China, which dominates global manufacturing, has faced layoffs and suspended investment plans recently. Longi, a leading wafer producer, had to cut prices significantly last year due to fierce competition. Despite financial pressures and job losses, the industry could see a rebound by late 2024 with consolidation and improved supply-demand balance. Longi, with substantial cash reserves, is well-positioned to weather the industry's challenges. How is China's Longi Green Energy Technology Co. responding to solar industry challenges?
