Challenges and Solutions for Patent Commercialization in the Photovoltaic Industry

Under the guidance of the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, China's photovoltaic (PV) industry is flourishing. As a globally strategic emerging industry, the commercialization of patents in the PV sector is a core aspect of technological innovation. However, the industry currently faces multiple challenges in patent commercialization: mismatch between technological maturity and market demand, lack of and quality issues with core technology patents, insufficient awareness and investment in commercialization, and imperfect mechanisms and policies. To address these challenges, the successful experiences of many enterprises in the PV industry provide solutions: keeping pace with technological evolution and market trends, balancing technological complexity and reliability; strengthening patent protection to promote commercialization; closely monitoring changes in the market environment and flexibly adjusting patent commercialization strategies. Based on this, the following countermeasures are proposed: improving patent protection and incentive mechanisms, enhancing policy guidance and support, and promoting deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application. These measures will provide strong support for the sustainable and healthy development of China's PV industry.
