This week's view
This week, the power equipment and new energy index rose by 3.96%, of which the photovoltaic index soared by 9.45%. The top five increases in the new power sector are related to the photovoltaic business. With the rationalization of the overall valuation level of track stocks, industry benefits such as data exceeding expectations and policy promotion gradually appeared, pushing the industry out of a downward trend.
Photovoltaic has been doing well recently, but from the perspective of relevance, the main reasons for the sharp rise for two consecutive weeks are as follows: 1) the installed capacity data of photovoltaic in January exceeded the market expectation, with a total installed capacity of 7gw, a year-on-year increase of 200%, and the distributed installed capacity of 4.5gw, a year-on-year increase of 250%. The industry reflects a strong endogenous driving force and significantly improves the annual installed capacity expectation. 2) The price of silicon material and installed capacity have increased at the same time. The price of photovoltaic silicon material and silicon wafer has increased slightly in the past month. However, from the installed capacity in January and the production scheduling data in the following two months, the production capacity has continued to increase. Meanwhile, the downstream installed price has exceeded 1.9 yuan / W, and the downstream tolerance of the industry has significantly increased the operating rate of the whole industry. 3) The latest good news in China's module bidding market in 2022 has been reported frequently. As of February 20, central enterprises and state-owned enterprises such as CNNC and China resources have centrally released 45gw of photovoltaic module procurement projects. This data has exceeded the annual data of 2021, and the bid winning price is up to 1.96 yuan / W, which further confirms that 2022 is the great year of photovoltaic. We have recommended the photovoltaic sector for several weeks in a row and will continue to recommend it later. This year's photovoltaic sector will be similar to last year's new energy vehicle sector, with key photovoltaic industry leaders: Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) , Sungrow Power Supply Co.Ltd(300274) , etc.
