On the morning of October 19, China photovoltaic aluminum alloy frame industry enterprise leaders Forum was held in Nanjing Zifeng Intercontinental Hotel, Jiangsu Province, and the main leaders of 12 key aluminum alloy frame enterprises attended. Fan Shunke, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association and chairman of China Nonferrous Metals Processing Industry Association, presided over the meeting.
Since 2024, the installed capacity growth of China's photovoltaic industry has declined significantly, superimposed export restrictions and increasing production capacity and other adverse factors, and the competition of photovoltaic enterprises has entered the white heat. The pressure on the aluminum alloy frame industry in the upstream of the industrial chain has increased sharply, the processing fees have fallen again and again, the payment terms have become increasingly harsh, and the enterprises have generally lost money, and the survival pressure is huge, which restricts the healthy development of the industry.
The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out at a meeting on July 30 that it is necessary to strengthen industry self-discipline and prevent "internal volume" vicious competition. In order to strengthen enterprise communication, strengthen industry self-discipline, and promote the high-quality development of the photovoltaic aluminum alloy frame industry, the participating entrepreneurs focused on the new situation and new challenges facing the industry, and reached a four-point consensus on how to promote high-quality development:
First, we will accelerate the development of new quality productive forces
First, we must enhance the high-end, green and intelligent level of enterprises. Leading enterprises should continue to work hard in the research and development of new materials, the use of recycled aluminum, automation and digital intelligence, build a world-class intelligent factory, and continue to maintain a global leading position.
Second, we will strengthen independent innovation. Efforts to strengthen the original innovation of aluminum alloy materials, improve the competitiveness of materials; Focus on strengthening aluminum extrusion, mold, surface treatment and equipment technology innovation, improve production efficiency and product quality; The whole industry should continue to give play to the spirit of innovation and innovation, make concerted efforts in alloy research and development, technological innovation, and industrial chain extension, comprehensively improve comprehensive strength, and accelerate the construction of a new pattern of industrial innovation and development.
Third, we need to comprehensively enhance soft power. In the industry standards, patents, brand value, science and technology awards and other soft power to actively build. Actively revise relevant industry standards, norms and lead the industry development. The whole industry should pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, attach importance to the construction of talent teams, and create a good environment for innovation.
Second, strive to promote high-level exports
First, we should actively respond to risks such as international politics, green barriers, trade frictions, and industrial chain decoupling, actively respond to trade friction cases, give full play to the role of the four-way mechanism of government, industry associations, enterprises, and foreign users, and respond to every case.
Second, we should continue to promote the high-quality export of photovoltaic aluminum alloy frames and supports. It is necessary to continue to consolidate the leading advantage of China's aluminum frame products in international trade competition and maintain a good export momentum.
Third, we must strengthen the international strategic layout, enhance the degree of international business, and carefully promote overseas factory construction.
Third, expand the application of photovoltaic profiles and adhere to green and low-carbon development
First, we must focus on the material needs of the photovoltaic industry. Strengthen cooperation with downstream customers in the photovoltaic industry, strengthen product development and technical reserves, meet the needs of industrial development materials, improve the penetration rate of aluminum, and strive to expand the application of aluminum in the photovoltaic industry.
Second, we need to pursue green and low-carbon development. Strive to promote the transformation of environmental protection in the industry to process control and source reduction, improve the level of resource utilization of solid waste and hazardous waste, improve the recycling system of recycled aluminum, actively use green electric aluminum, improve the level of green development of the industry, and walk out of the road of green ecological sustainable development.
Fourth, strengthen industry self-discipline
One is to invest prudently. China's existing photovoltaic aluminum alloy frame project capacity scale has been seriously excess, to strictly control new capacity projects, encourage enterprise mergers and restructuring, optimize the scale and layout of production capacity.
Second, we need to jointly create a sound industrial ecosystem. It is necessary to establish a sense of community of destiny in the industry, actively communicate, promote fair competition, strengthen industry self-discipline, resolutely oppose dumping below cost price sales, and prevent "internal volume" vicious competition.
Third, we must strictly guard against capital, safety, environmental protection and other production and operation risks, strengthen customer classification management and accounts receivable management, and refuse any payment methods other than cash and bank acceptance bills.
