Driven by the explosive global demand for space energy and the accelerated restructuring of global supply chains, China’s photovoltaic industry is advancing from ground-based supporting applications to a space-based core sector. Space photovoltaics is poised to become a core track for the PV and energy storage industry to foster a new growth curve. Held from November 17 to 20, the 9th China International Photovoltaic & Energy Storage Industry Congress 2026 takes space photovoltaics as its key focus. It gathers talents from enterprises, universities and research institutes to build a high-end exchange and resource docking platform. All professionals across the global PV and energy storage sectors are warmly invited to join this grand industry event and seize opportunities in the trillion-level blue ocean market.

Against the backdrop, the global energy competition is expanding from the Earth to the vast cosmos. Widespread corporate announcements of space layouts, institutional research forecasts of a trillion-yuan track, and booming capital market enthusiasm have made space photovoltaics a top industry buzzword in 2026.With the total planned number of global low-orbit satellites exceeding 100,000 and continuous breakthroughs in core commercial aerospace technologies in China, space photovoltaics has evolved from satellite supporting components into large-scale rigid demand. Its market scale is expected to reach 50 billion yuan in 2026 and exceed one trillion yuan after 2035, emerging as the second major growth driver for the PV industry following terrestrial power stations. Currently, the industry faces bottlenecks including technical challenges, insufficient unified standards and weak industry-university-research collaboration, calling for a high-end platform to build consensus and tackle key problems.

In response to industry demands, the 9th China International PV & Energy Storage Congress 2026 will launch a special parallel session focused on space photovoltaics, creating a targeted and in-depth high-level exchange platform.As a highlight of the congress, this special session will focus on core pain points restricting the development of the space PV industry, covering three major themes:First, the construction of standard systems, exploring the formulation of key standards for product testing, certification and performance evaluation to drive standardized industrial development;Second, breakthroughs in core technologies, focusing on the iteration and upgrading of mainstream technical routes such as HJT and perovskite tandem cells, to solve key challenges including extreme space environment adaptation and cost control;Third, industry-university-research collaboration and project implementation, building a supply-demand docking bridge to accelerate the commercialization of technological achievements and help enterprises seize competitive advantages.Adopting a hybrid format of keynote speeches, roundtable discussions and project matchmaking, the session balances cutting-edge insights and practical solutions, enabling all participants to gain valuable industry insights and connect with high-quality resources.

New application scenarios generate new market demands. Industry experts point out that perovskite cells feature high efficiency potential, lightweight design and tandem structure compatibility, enabling lightweight and long-life energy solutions for space scenarios.To advance the cutting-edge research, application optimization and industrialization of perovskite technologies, the Organizing Committee of China International Photovoltaic & Energy Storage Industry Congress, together with the Perovskite Industry Branch of China Council for International Promotion of Science and Technology, will host the 1st Perovskite Industry Exhibition of China Council for International Promotion of Science and Technology during the 2026 congress. A dedicated perovskite exhibition pavilion will be set up with four featured exhibition zones: core technologies, devices & applications, demonstration projects & scenario displays, and industry-university-research services. Meanwhile, on-site seminars, new product launches and perovskite industry-university-research forums will be arranged to fully showcase the technological innovation strength and industrialization achievements of China’s perovskite sector.

Space photovoltaics is now at a critical stage of transitioning from engineered productization to large-scale industrialization. The 9th China International PV & Energy Storage Congress 2026 serves not only as a frontier exchange platform but also a vital bridge for industrial collaboration.We sincerely invite global authoritative experts, professional visitors and industrial chain enterprises in the PV and energy storage sector to gather in Chengdu from November 17 to 20. Together, let’s explore the blue ocean of space photovoltaics, discuss standard formulation, R&D innovation and project implementation, unite industrial synergy, promote the high-quality development of the PV and energy storage industry, and embrace the brand-new future of space photovoltaics hand in hand.
