In 2026, China's photovoltaic industry is undergoing a profound supply-side reform. According to relevant policies, the export tax rebate for PV products has been cancelled effective 1 April 2026. At the same time, mandatory national standards stipulate that from 1 January 2027, crystalline silicon PV panels with a power output below 630W will be prohibited from production, import, and sale.

These policy adjustments are an inevitable move to phase out outdated capacity, encourage technological innovation, and promote high-quality industry development. Short-term pains are unavoidable, but for companies with true core competitiveness, this is precisely the moment to stand out.

As a professional enterprise deeply engaged in the solar mounting structure export business, how does FarSun view this transformation? And how will we join hands with our global partners to navigate through the cycle?

1. Facing the Challenge: Short-Term Volatility Does Not Alter Long-Term Fundamentals

The tax rebate cancellation triggered an unprecedented "rush to export" in March, which temporarily overstretched overseas installation demand in the short term. Our clients – overseas EPCs and installers – will be busy digesting accumulated inventory during Q2 and Q3, and new project tenders will face a phased delay.

Meanwhile, panel costs have risen by approximately RMB 0.06–0.07/W due to the rebate removal, putting pressure on overseas EPC budgets. This cost pressure is being transmitted along the entire supply chain to all auxiliary components.

But we firmly believe: short-term fluctuations do not change the long-term positive outlook for the PV industry. The global trend of energy transition remains unchanged, and the status of solar power as one of the most economical and clean energy sources is unshaken. FarSun chooses to respond to short-term volatility with a long-term mindset – deepening client relationships, strengthening our brand, and enhancing product value during the order lull, so as to accumulate energy for the next wave of demand recovery.

2. Value Breakthrough: Using "Lower Total Cost" to Resolve Pricing Pressure

When clients ask, "Panels have gone up in price, can you reduce the cost of mounting structures?", FarSun's answer is not simply "yes" or "no" – we prove with facts that buying FarSun mounting systems results in a lower total project cost.

Faster Delivery

Leveraging an efficient supply chain management system and manufacturing capability, FarSun ensures shorter delivery lead times. Faster delivery means our clients' projects can connect to the grid and generate revenue earlier, significantly reducing capital occupation costs.

Lower Installation Cost

FarSun mounting systems feature modular design and standardised pre-assembly solutions, transferring many time-consuming and error-prone on-site tasks to the factory environment. On-site installation time is markedly shortened, and labour costs are effectively controlled – for EPCs, improved installation efficiency directly translates into project profitability.

Comprehensive Compliance Certifications

FarSun has established a compliance certification system covering major global markets, including:

• CE Certification – confirming that our products meet the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011), a mandatory passport for entry into the EU market.

• EN 1090 Standard Certification – demonstrating that FarSun's steel and aluminium structure mounting products possess adequate mechanical resistance, stability, serviceability, and durability, fulfilling the stringent EU requirements for structural steel components.

• Compliance with EU Packaging Regulations – ensuring smooth circulation of our packaging within the EU market.

• Market-compliant Strength Calculation Reports – providing professional structural strength verification for every project.

• ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification – guaranteeing full-process quality control from design and production to delivery.

These certifications are not only "entry permits" for our target markets, but also a solemn commitment by FarSun to product quality and engineering safety. In an environment where tax rebates have been cancelled and trade compliance risks are rising, accreditation itself is the most important value-added barrier.

3. Looking Ahead: Winning Together with Global Partners in the New Era

2026 is a turning point for the PV industry. The rebate cancellation and new efficiency standards are reshaping the competitive landscape – shifting from "price first" to "value first", from "scale expansion" to "high-quality development".

FarSun's choice is clear and resolute: win customers with value. As the market moves from "lowest price" to "lowest total cost", FarSun's combined advantages in delivery speed, installation efficiency, and compliance certification become even more prominent.

We firmly believe that those enterprises which can truly help clients reduce total project costs and provide full-process value assurance will be the ultimate winners of this transformation.

FarSun is ready to work alongside our global partners, offering professional, reliable, and sustainable mounting solutions as we jointly embrace a healthier and more dynamic new era for the PV industry.
