It is worth noting that among the multimedia business, which is the pillar of the company's revenue, the photovoltaic business has shown the most impressive performance.

In this regard, Chen Zikun, an analyst at GF Securities, said that although the prices of the industrial chain continue to be high, domestic household photovoltaic installations still maintain rapid growth. Driven by the promotion of the whole county's superimposed marketization of electricity prices, household photovoltaic demand is expected to maintain a high prosperity.

The steady growth in domestic exports of solar cells and inverters also confirms the strong overseas demand.
In fact, Skyworth Group's rapid development in the photovoltaic field also reflects the country's emphasis on new energy strategy. Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, the domestic policy orientation for environmental protection and new energy has been further clarified. On October 24, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council officially issued the "Opinions on Complete, Accurate and Comprehensive Implementing the New Development Concept to Do a Good Job in Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality", which represents the official release of the "1" in the "1+N" policy system of the domestic dual carbon target.
Skyworth Group also stated that in the face of the huge market potential in the future, the company decided to take the relatively most commercial and standardized photovoltaic system integration industry as the entry point. In the photovoltaic industry, distributed photovoltaics, as the industry closest to the terminal sinking market and the client retail field that the company is familiar with, has become the group's final early main business choice. The company plans to start with household photovoltaics, gradually develop business such as industrial and commercial photovoltaics, comprehensive smart energy management on the power side, and gradually develop into an industry leader in the clean energy industry on the power side.
