Cited Source and Traceability for Photovoltaic Research Reports

Photovoltaic industry research reports mainly come from power equipment sector reports from securities research institutes, and monthly or quarterly

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Photovoltaic industry research reports mainly come from power equipment sector reports from securities research institutes, and monthly or quarterly reports from authoritative institutions such as the China Photovoltaic Industry Association. Update frequency adjusts based on industry trends. Policy-related content updates more frequently. Most documents are in PDF format. They include fields such as issuing institution, release date, core industrial chain data (such as module conversion efficiency, new installed capacity, policy interpretation, and others. Units include GW (installed capacity), % (conversion efficiency), Yuan/W (module unit price) and other industry-specific units. Some long documents are divided into independent chapters according to the upstream and downstream links of the industrial chain.

Constraints for Cited Source and Traceability Workflow

The multiple authoritative source characteristics of photovoltaic research reports require matching credibility tags of issuing institutions during traceability, to avoid mixing non-authoritative data. The high-frequency update characteristic requires setting time range filters during traceability, only recalling valid reports released recently. The long document structure divided by industrial chain links requires retaining chapter and page number information when segmenting documents, to ensure traceability can locate specific content blocks. The special unit characteristic requires displaying original units synchronously during traceability, to avoid data interpretation bias. The cross-chapter industrial chain analysis characteristic requires a sufficient context recall range, to ensure logical coherence of traceable fragments.

How to Set Configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended Value RangeRationale
maxRecallCountTop 8-12 entriesPhotovoltaic research report data has fine granularity. Too many recalls will introduce redundant fragments, too few will fail to cover core data
similarityThreshold0.72-0.85The photovoltaic industry has a large number of professional terms. Too low a threshold will mix irrelevant report fragments, too high may miss valid relevant content
chunkSize1000-1500 charactersPhotovoltaic research reports contain long paragraphs of industrial chain data. Too long segmentation will destroy context association, too short will split core data blocks
quoteStyle[Issuing Institution + Page Number + Release Date]Photovoltaic research reports need to clearly mark source credibility and release time, which meets industry compliance and traceability requirements
enableSourcePageEnabledCore data of photovoltaic research reports is often concentrated on specific pages. Enabling page number traceability can quickly locate the original data location
maxContext8000-12000 charactersPhotovoltaic industry analysis often spans multiple industrial chain links. Sufficient context can ensure logical coherence of responses and avoid disconnection of traceable fragments

The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: Returned citation text retains \n original characters, and no line break effect is achieved. Cause: The quoteLineBreak parameter is not configured, or the parameter value is set to false, resulting in line breaks not being correctly parsed as formatted line breaks.
  • Phenomenon: The number of recalled report fragments exceeds the set maxRecallCount limit, and the response content is redundant and messy. Cause: Parameters are not adjusted according to the long document characteristics of photovoltaic research reports. The number of recalled entries is mistakenly set to values consistent with general categories, and no targeted optimization is performed.
  • Phenomenon: The traceability results do not show the release date or page number of photovoltaic research reports, making it impossible to quickly verify the accuracy of responses. Cause: The enableSourcePage parameter is not enabled, and the "Retain Document Metadata option is not enabled when uploading the knowledge base, resulting in loss of key traceability fields.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

  • Upload a photovoltaic industry research report, check the parsed metadata list in the knowledge base, confirm that the release date, page number and issuing institution fields are correctly extracted.
  • Initiate a search for photovoltaic module prices, check the citation format of the returned results, confirm that line breaks work correctly and the citation content is displayed according to the format.
  • Adjust the value of the similarity threshold, verify the change in relevance of recall results, confirm that the threshold setting meets current business needs.
  • Check the recall records in the system log, confirm that the number of returned citations is consistent with the set range of maxRecallCount.
