industrial development supports the popularity of photovoltaic convertible bonds
In 2018, "531 photovoltaic policy" made China's photovoltaic industry step on the "brake" once.

This became the first financing case approved for issuance in China's photovoltaic industry after the implementation of the "531 photovoltaic New Deal".
The industry regards this event as a, and the state and capital level still have confidence in the development of photovoltaic industry. According to the issuance announcement, at that time, Tongwei Co.Ltd(600438) plans to raise no more than 5 billion yuan through convertible bonds for the construction of 25000 tons of high-purity polysilicon projects in Baotou and Leshan respectively.
In April 2019, "Tongwei convertible bond" (110054. SH) was listed. At that time, when the development of China's photovoltaic industry entered a short and slow stage, the bond closed up 19.90% on the first day of listing. However, with the fluctuation of industrial development, the price of "Tongwei convertible bonds" also fluctuates. On the date of redemption on March 16, 2020, the price of the bond is as low as 104 yuan.
In fact, the case of "Tongwei convertible bonds" reflects that the popularity of convertible bonds is closely related to the development of photovoltaic industry to a certain extent - when the prosperity of the industry fluctuates, the price of photovoltaic convertible bonds also follows the market.
Take the newly listed "long 22 convertible bond" as an example. As of February 23, the price of the bond was 126.31 yuan, up 1.49%. In the four trading days after listing, the price of "long 22 convertible bonds" fluctuated, and the trend was almost consistent with that of positive stocks.

This has something to do with the adjustment of the whole A-share photovoltaic sector after the Spring Festival in the year of the tiger. In the context of the rise of price game sentiment in the industrial chain, the market showed concern about the profitability of some links of the industrial chain in the first quarter.
It is worth mentioning that under the fierce game of the industrial chain, the main purpose of large-scale issuance of convertible bonds by listed companies is to expand production.
For example, the Tongwei Co.Ltd(600438) 12 billion yuan raised by convertible bonds is intended to be used for photovoltaic silicon material manufacturing technical transformation project (phase II high-purity crystalline silicon project), photovoltaic silicon material manufacturing project (phase II 50000 tons high-purity crystalline silicon project), 15gw single crystal rod cutting project, etc; The convertible bonds of Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) 7 billion yuan will be used for the project of high-efficiency single crystal battery with an annual output of 15gw, the project of manufacturing single crystal battery with an annual output of 3gw and replenishing working capital; For Wuxi Shangji Automation Co.Ltd(603185) that has not yet issued convertible bonds, it is planned to invest all the raised funds in Baotou single crystal silicon crystal drawing and supporting production projects with an annual output of 10GW; The funds raised by the convertible bonds of the module leader Trina Solar Co.Ltd(688599) are used to strengthen the integrated construction, including the annual output of 16GW high-efficiency Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) battery project in Yancheng, the annual output of 10GW high-efficiency Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) battery project (phase II 5GW in Suqian), the annual output of 8GW high-efficiency Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) battery project in Suqian (phase III), Yancheng Dafeng 10GW photovoltaic module project, etc.
On February 23, Wang Bohua, honorary chairman of China Photovoltaic Industry Association, pointed out at the "online seminar on 2021 development review and 2022 situation outlook" that China's photovoltaic industry continued to make rapid progress in 2021, with rapid growth in manufacturing, application and import and export. Among them, the output value of the fourth ring link of China's photovoltaic manufacturing end exceeded 750 billion yuan.
