On October 19th, reports surfaced indicating that, starting from January 1, 2027, the business eligibility criteria for domestic PV purchasers will undergo an update, and the new national standard for the energy efficiency of PV modules will officially come into force. Modules entering the domestic market will be required to adhere to these new energy efficiency benchmarks. With the new regulations set to be implemented in less than three months, reporters discovered that certain PV purchasers have already proactively adjusted their procurement criteria, while module manufacturers have commenced the process of substituting their bidding products.
A frontrunner in the module manufacturing sector has pulled its older PERC modules from domestic bids involving central enterprises. The individual responsible for pricing within the company (the term "pricing person in charge" is adjusted for fluency in the full context) mentioned that the team is currently reevaluating and restructuring its bidding approach, with a focus on products that meet the efficiency standards for securing large domestic orders. He underscored the fact that the new standards will render non-compliant products ineligible for bidding, and any price advantages will vanish when efficiency standards are not fulfilled.
