CLSA’s research report wrote that the recent momentum in solar stocks stemmed from some positive signals on the supply side policies. This included a meeting held by Chinese President Xi Jinping on July 1, underscoring the legal governance of enterprises to prevent low-price disorderly competition, guiding companies to improve product quality, and promoting the orderly exit of outdated production capacity; as well as standardizing government procurement and bidding.

CLSA stated that its view on solar sector remained unchanged. It maintained a cautious stance towards solar demand, with the supply side still awaiting more catalysts or supply-side policies to aid the industry's recovery. The broker expected key measures related to energy consumption control, conversion efficiency, and production quotas to be moderately relaxed.
