According to the statistics released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), by the end of 2020, the global cumulative photovoltaic installed capacity had reached 707.49gw, a year-on-year increase of 21.82%, about 17 times that of 2010. With the deepening of global energy reform and the adjustment of energy structure, it is expected that the global photovoltaic installed capacity will be further expanded in the future. According to Irena’s prediction, the cumulative global PV installed capacity is expected to reach 2840gw in 2030.
“The future development trend of the photovoltaic industry has become a ‘set’, and the prospect is bright. The installed power generation capacity will increase year by year. It can be predicted that the photovoltaic industry will maintain a compound growth rate of 15% or even higher per year until the carbon neutralization target is achieved in 2060.” Qi said.
Wuxi Dk Electronic Materials Co.Ltd(300842) said that after the completion of this transaction, the listed company and the target company will implement effective coordination through R & D, patent, product, brand, market and management, carry out collaborative R & D and innovation, continuously improve the patent layout and expand the advantageous product portfolio, so as to realize complementary advantages, so as to further improve their comprehensive strength and market share.
