On August 21, 2024, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration organized the preparation and release of the "Implementation Plan for Large-Scale Equipment Renewal in Key Energy Areas" to encourage the renewal of high-efficiency photovoltaic solar modules for photovoltaic power stations.

Among them, Zhejiang Province is at the forefront of promoting the retirement and technical transformation of photovoltaic power stations. On April 2, 2024, the People's Government of Zhejiang Province issued the "Several Measures for Promoting Large-Scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Replacement in Zhejiang Province", proposing to complete the upgrading and transformation of wind power installed capacity of more than 70,000 kilowatts and the retirement of photovoltaic installed capacity of more than 100,000 kilowatts by 2027. Explore the residual life assessment of wind power and photovoltaic equipment and promote the cascade utilization of equipment and key components.

On May 28, 2024, the Huzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Huzhou Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", which mentioned promoting the replacement of photovoltaic modules with larger ones that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18%. By 2027, the cumulative update of photovoltaic modules will meet the provincial target.

On June 6, 2024, the Jinhua Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Special Action Plan for Equipment Renewal in the Energy Sector of Jinhua City", proposing to promote the replacement of photovoltaic modules with larger ones that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18%. By 2025, the cumulative photovoltaic modules will be updated or retired by more than 22 megawatts.

On June 11, 2024, the Quzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Quzhou Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", proposing to promote the replacement of photovoltaic modules that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18% with larger ones. By the end of 2024, 10,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic equipment will be updated or retired, with an investment of 30 million yuan; by 2027, a total of 50,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic modules will be updated, with a cumulative investment of 150 million yuan.

On July 9, 2024, the Wenzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Wenzhou Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", which mentioned promoting the replacement of photovoltaic modules with larger ones that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18%. By 2027, the cumulative photovoltaic module update will be 15,200 kilowatts.

On July 15, 2024, the Shaoxing Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Shaoxing Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", proposing to promote the replacement of photovoltaic modules with larger ones that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 20%. By 2027, the cumulative photovoltaic module update will exceed 20,000 kilowatts.

On September 19, 2024, the Ningbo Energy Bureau issued the "Ningbo Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", proposing to promote the replacement of photovoltaic modules with larger ones that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18%. By 2027, the cumulative photovoltaic module update will be 30,000 kilowatts.

On September 20, 2024, the Hangzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission issued the "Hangzhou Energy Field Equipment Update Special Action Plan", which mentioned that photovoltaic modules that have been in operation for more than 10 years, with a panel power of less than 250 watts and an energy conversion efficiency of less than 18% will be replaced with larger ones and new ones will be replaced with old ones. By 2027, the cumulative photovoltaic module update will exceed 30,450 kilowatts.
