Photovoltaic panel factory cooperation plan

What is co-operative innovation in the photovoltaic industry?

Cooperative innovation spread from the east to west in space and from the central area to surrounding cities. In terms of the industry chain, the initial innovation cooperation (in 2010) of the photovoltaic industry focused on mid-stream links such as solar cells and module manufacturing.

What is a photovoltaic component manufacturing capacity map?

The U.S. Photovoltaic Component Manufacturing Capacity map includes any active manufacturing site in the U.S. and their nameplate capacity, or the full amount of potential output at an existing facility, as of January 31, 2022. This does not imply that these facilities produced the amount listed.

What drives the innovation network dynamics of the photovoltaic industry?

The innovation ability of the actors in the network is one of the driving factors of the innovation network dynamics of the photovoltaic industry. The actors with strong innovation abilities show outstanding performance in innovation resources, internal culture, and management philosophy.

How has the photovoltaic industry changed over time?

As the domestic photovoltaic market significantly developed, innovation activities in the downstream links of the industry chain, such as photovoltaic application products, power stations, and related components, have become increasingly active, causing the proportion of upstream and mid-stream links to decline.

How far is China's photovoltaic industry from innovation?

Judging from the spatial distance analysis, the average distance between innovation actors in China's photovoltaic industry was 440.91 km in 2010, which expanded to 573.00 km in 2015. The proportion of innovation cooperation in the cities and provinces decreased.

What is the core competitiveness of photovoltaic firms?

As a technology-intensive industry, the core competitiveness of photovoltaic firms is technological innovation capability. Moreover, photovoltaic technology has the characteristics of interdisciplinary , thus, innovation cooperation among photovoltaic firms is especially necessary .
