The second batch of photovoltaic enterprises allowed the sampling inspection to start less than 30% of the selection rate

In a recent development, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the second batch of enterprises that meet the "Regulations on the Standardization of Photovoltaic Manufacturing Industry." A total of 74 companies have been shortlisted. These firms will now be subject to community-level supervision, and MIIT will conduct on-site inspections to finalize the list based on feedback.
Last year, the first batch included 134 companies, but only 109 remained after the evaluation. However, over 400 PV companies across the country had applied, meaning the approval rate was just 27.25%. Industry experts note that one of the main hurdles for many companies is the requirement that actual production in the previous year must not fall below 50% of their capacity. This has proven challenging given the past two years of shrinking overseas markets and unstable domestic demand, leading many Chinese PV firms to scale back or halt production.
With the recovery of the photovoltaic sector in the second half of last year, some companies have resumed operations. Will this lead to a higher enrollment rate this year? An anonymous industry insider told the *Securities Daily* that while some companies may qualify for resumption, overall industry concentration is expected to rise as standards remain strict. Many companies from the first batch were excluded in the second, indicating a shift toward higher-quality players.
Recent reports indicate that on-site sampling inspections have already begun for the second batch of shortlisted PV companies. Many of these are branch factories from different regions, with several newly operational since the market rebound in 2013. The trend shows a clear increase in industry concentration, with major players like GCL-Poly now operating multiple subsidiaries across the supply chain.
Despite the regulatory challenges, the focus remains on improving efficiency and competitiveness. Companies that can deliver high-quality, low-cost products will gain more market share. With ongoing supervision and annual re-evaluations, fewer enterprises are expected to meet the criteria in the future, further driving consolidation.
While the second batch includes new entrants, the final list is still pending confirmation. Some companies that failed in the first round are trying again, raising concerns about potential falsification. Insiders say that the second round will involve stricter checks than before.
For example, Wuxi Longji Silicon Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Longji Shares, has applied again despite past issues. Similarly, Jiangxi LDK Solar, which nearly ceased operations in 2012, has made a comeback in the second batch. Meanwhile, Wuxi Suntech and Jiangxi Saiwei, both involved in bankruptcy proceedings, are also under scrutiny.
Overall, the photovoltaic industry is undergoing significant restructuring, with tighter regulations and increased competition shaping the landscape. Only those with strong technical and scale advantages are likely to survive and thrive in the long run.
