Direct hit on the 2024 annual conference of the photovoltaic industry: focusing on the Middle East and Africa markets. There are both opportunities and challenges for Chinese enterprises to "go global".
① Chinese new energy companies have four advantages in their process of entering the Middle East: the first is technological innovation and production capacity; the second is global layout and market expansion; the third is policy support and market demand; the fourth is cost and economic benefits. ② The African countries most suitable for Chinese photovoltaic investment include South Africa, Egypt, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

Both supply and demand are expected to decrease. The industry predicts that the price of photovoltaic glass will mainly stabilize in the short term. | Industry Observation
①The photovoltaic glass continues the previous downturn trend, with major manufacturers taking price increase actions, but the upward support is insufficient, and short-term price stability is expected to be the main focus; ②Leading companies indicate that the top two leading positions are still stable, including looking into the future, the change in market structure will not be significant.
Another main theme of AI investment emerges: US hedge funds heavily buy nuclear power stocks as technology giants gather to deploy this technology.
①In Q3, American hedge funds maintained a stable exposure to AI-related investment themes, but reduced their investment in the semiconductor industry for the first time since Q2 2022. ②In OpenAI's latest disclosed "American AI Infrastructure Blueprint," lies its grand nuclear power vision; Huang Renxun also expresses a bullish attitude towards nuclear energy. ③From the trends of tech giants, most of them have chosen small modular reactors (SMR).
The fluctuation of the photovoltaic cycle far exceeds the past. Representatives of leading companies suggest considering transformation earlier if things are not going well.
① In the case of a divergence between prices and costs, the photovoltaic industry has fallen into a crisis not seen in recent years, with prices at various stages declining by 60%-80% compared to the peak in 2023; ② Long-term losses are unacceptable in any industry, and with market growth slowing, it has become very difficult to resolve the current capacity issues. This cycle may last longer.
