On April 1, 2026, the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions issued by the National Government Offices Administration officially came into effect. This document is more than just a "bookkeeping manual"—it may trigger a significant shift in the photovoltaic (PV) industry. Lightweight and flexible PV modules, which have long been marginalized in the past, are now facing new market opportunities under the new regulations.
The "self-generated and self-consumed electricity" from distributed PV systems in public institutions is not included in carbon emissions accounting. Owning a PV power plant means owning carbon assets.
For directly connected green power, the emission factor is counted as "zero," removing barriers for microgrids and power sales across adjacent properties.
Electricity on-sold to residents and merchants is not included in the accounting, allowing institutions to focus on their own emission reductions.
Core logic: A shift from "blind capacity installation" to "precise consumption." The value of lightweight, flexible modules — which can be installed on curved, aging, or load-limited rooftops — is being redefined.
In Malaysia, many high-end villas feature pitched roofs with tile structures. Traditional PV panels are not only heavy and bulky but also compromise the architectural aesthetics.
This project adopted Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles, achieving a visual effect with "no visible mounting structures, no visible cables." While enjoying a low-carbon lifestyle powered by green electricity, the homeowner can also feed surplus power into the local grid.
Implications of the New Regulations: Although this project is overseas, its technical path demonstrates the irreplaceability of Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles in scenarios involving complex roofs and high aesthetic demands. In the future, for high-end villas and historical district renovations in China, Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles will be the only viable solution.
The curved raw material sheds and curved factory roofs of steel enterprises have long been considered "off-limits" for PV installation — traditional rigid modules cannot bend, and mounting systems are difficult to secure on curved surfaces.
At the Jinzhou Industrial Steel Plant in Yutian County, Tangshan, technicians adopted a "slope-following installation" approach, allowing Xingsheng lightweight flexible modules to conform perfectly to the curved shed surface like a piece of fabric — no penetration required, no complex mounting structures.
Implications of the New Regulations: After the new regulations take effect, every kilowatt-hour of green electricity captured by flexible modules at such energy-intensive enterprises will directly offset the company's carbon emission quota. The distance from an "energy-guzzling giant" to a "zero-carbon factory" is merely one layer of "flexible armor."
The lighting, ventilation, and monitoring systems at expressway tunnel entrances have long relied on grid power, making them major energy consumers in the transportation sector.
At the Hexiang Expressway, Xingsheng flexible PV modules were innovatively installed on the curved dome and slope areas at the tunnel entrance. By utilizing the limited, irregularly shaped idle land around the tunnel portal, the system enables direct green power supply to the tunnel lighting system.
Implications of the New Regulations: Under the new carbon accounting framework, this direct green power connection model for infrastructure will significantly reduce the carbon accounting pressure on the transportation sector, allowing expressways to "sustain themselves."
The Huqiu Industrial Area in Suzhou is home to a large number of factory buildings constructed in the early years. These buildings commonly face three major challenges: insufficient roof load-bearing capacity, corroded color-coated steel sheets, and a high risk of water leakage. Traditional PV systems simply cannot be installed under these conditions.
On the rooftop of this aging factory building, Xingsheng lightweight flexible modules were adopted. With three key advantages — weighing only 30% of conventional modules, requiring no penetrating mounting structures, and allowing installation over existing color-coated steel sheets — the system successfully addressed the two major pain points of load capacity and waterproofing.
Implications of the New Regulations: For the vast number of industrial and commercial property owners, although the new regulations primarily target public institutions, the signal they send is national in scope — green electricity is a hard currency. Achieving "PV freedom" on aging factory rooftops can only be realized through flexible modules.
In response to the industry transformation brought about by the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions, Xingsheng will take action in three key areas to align with the new regulations and drive its own development:
The new regulations give every kilowatt-hour of "self-generated and self-consumed" green electricity the attribute of a carbon asset. Xingsheng will continue to深耕 curved roofs, load-deficient rooftops, unconventional buildings, and other scenarios that traditional PV cannot cover — transforming previously "wasted" idle spaces into carbon assets for property owners.
The new regulations recognize "direct green power connection" with an emission factor of zero. Xingsheng will focus on developing a number of "zero-carbon demonstration projects" in areas such as transportation infrastructure (expressway tunnels, service areas) and public institutions (schools, hospitals, government campuses). These efforts will help property owners gain advantages in carbon accounting while also pursuing support from local carbon trading pilots and green finance policies.
Targeting the vast market of aging factory buildings exemplified by the Suzhou Huqiu project, Xingsheng will continue to improve the weight, waterproof performance, and installation convenience of its lightweight modules. The company will launch a standardized "zero-risk PV retrofit for aging factories" solution, enabling more plants with insufficient load capacity and high leakage risk to access green electricity at low cost and low risk, and to benefit from the carbon advantages brought by the new regulations.
The implementation of the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions marks a shift in the PV industry from an era of "efficiency competition" to one of "adaptability competition."
Curved shed roofs, aging factory buildings, tunnel slopes, and unconventional villas — places where PV could never be installed before — now have clear carbon asset value under the new regulations.
Xingsheng will continue to take "adaptability" as its core competency, aligning with the new regulations to enable every inch of idle space to generate green electricity value.
