Jinko Solar’s global first project ‘Jinko Villa’ was successfully delivered in Suzhou, setting a new benchmark for zero-carbon living. The national “14th Five-Year Plan” emphasizes promoting high-quality development of distributed photovoltaic systems. The Distributed Photovoltaic Power Generation Development and Construction Management Measures released in 2025 further strengthen market orientation and support the “self-consumption” model.
Jinko Villa’s system utilizes n-type TOPCon battery technology combined with intelligent solar inverters and energy storage devices, ensuring high power generation efficiency and uninterrupted power supply. The highly reliable mounting structure and integrated architectural design are praised by the owners for their functionality and aesthetics.
In addition, a weekly news review from the Polar Star Solar Photovoltaic Network highlighted significant developments from March 24 to March 28, 2025. Recently, the Development and Reform Commission of Xinyu City in Jiangxi Province issued guidelines for the implementation of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects.
On March 27, Yunnan Meike and Huaneng secured a 740 MW photovoltaic quota in Honghe Prefecture, as part of the second and third batches of new energy projects for 2024 announced by Yunnan Province. The results of the project selection process for 14 photovoltaic projects have been disclosed.
Furthermore, ten departments are working to expand the application scale of aluminum products in municipal photovoltaic and other fields. This initiative aims to enhance upstream and downstream integration and promote model projects to broaden consumption potential.
In response to China’s rush to install photovoltaic systems, industry chain prices are expected to rise collectively in Q2 2025. New regulations concerning photovoltaic power generation and new energy tariffs were announced in late January and early February 2025. Projects connected to the grid after May 31 will no longer enjoy fixed purchase prices, reverting to market supply and demand pricing, triggering a rush, especially in the distributed photovoltaic sector, which is expected to peak in installations during the second quarter.
The 2 GW Composite Photovoltaic Base EPC project in Ningxia Lingwu has achieved its first grid connection. Located in the town of Majia Tan, the total capacity on the DC side is 200 MWp, with a capacity ratio of about 1.2. It utilizes fixed mounting installations and employs a total of 278,564 n-type 715W/720W bifacial monocrystalline solar modules, divided into 50 photovoltaic generation units.
On an international scale, Costar showcased its products at the Solar & Storage Live Africa 2025 event, contributing to the energy transition. The Knight series of household inverters displayed can work with grid electricity and photovoltaic power, supporting multiple charging modes suitable for various applications.
In Yunnan, a total investment of 3.33 billion yuan was reported for the selection of construction owners for the 740 MW photovoltaic projects, including the Banpozhai and Laobai Village projects, both with a planned installed capacity of 100,000 kW and investments of 45 million yuan.
In Guizhou, plans were announced for 4.13 GW of wind and photovoltaic projects, with 45 total projects comprising 37 wind power projects and 8 photovoltaic projects, summing to a total capacity of 412.5 MW.
In Guangdong, a record of 2.02 GW of commercial photovoltaic projects was filed in February, utilizing a “self-consumption, surplus electricity online” model with solar components over 600 watts, resulting in a distributed photovoltaic power station with a total capacity of 18.8 MW.
The 80 MW Composite Photovoltaic Project by China Resources has announced the procurement results for string inverters, indicating a total AC capacity of 80 MW with a single unit capacity of over 300 kW.
In Xinjiang, the 3 GW photovoltaic project in Manas County has successfully connected to the grid, utilizing 377,512 solar modules with a peak power of 610 watts.
To explore the synergy between new energy and rural revitalization, Haier New Energy has partnered with China Nuclear Huineng to implement a “Sky Light and Ground Heat” clean heating solution. Local farmers benefit from photovoltaic power generation and energy savings through air energy systems, providing a dual-income mechanism that supports rural revitalization.
Shangfang Energy is pushing photovoltaic operations and maintenance from version 1.0 to 2.0, reshaping the value of the entire lifecycle of power stations. By the end of 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation is expected to reach 370 million kW, significantly increasing from 121 times since 2013, accounting for 42% of the total installed capacity.
In March, over 4 GW of photovoltaic projects commenced construction, including the Laohuangfen Tea Light Complementary Photovoltaic Project, located in Fengqing County, Yunnan Province.
In Sichuan Province, the largest single photovoltaic project by a state-owned enterprise has begun construction, with the 1 million kW photovoltaic project in Ganzi Province projected to be completed by 2027.
In the Huazhong power grid, new energy generation has exceeded 80 million kW, with rapid growth in photovoltaic generation contributing to the grid’s capacity management during the spring inspection.
