Where is the world's 1st GW-scale perovskite solar module production line?

China has become home to what’s being termed the world’s 1st GW-scale perovskite solar module production line, according to local technology company UtmoLight, which has commissioned its 1 GW line in Wuxi region. As the line ramps up to full production, it is expected to produce about 1.8 million ultra-large-sized perovskite solar modules annually.

How much power does a perovskite module produce?

The 1 GW production line rolled off its 1st 2.8 m2 perovskite module with a power output of 450 W. UtmoLight says the full area efficiency of these modules is 16.1% which is a ‘global record’ for the largest and most powerful perovskite module. In 2025, it targets to achieve a mass production efficiency of 20% with continuous improvements.

What is a perovskite solar cell?

structure material known as perovskite,3 which was invented in 2009 by Professor Riki Miyasaka at Toin University of Yokohama. PSC have high conversion efficiencies comparable to those of the currently mainstream crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, which, combi

Are perovskite solar cells a 'joint statement'?

In April of this year, on the eve of perovskite entering mass production, the Group of Seven (G7) Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers' Meeting issued a "Joint Statement," stating that they will "promote technological innovation in areas such as perovskite solar cells," drawing strong attention to this emerging star in the energy field.

How efficient is GCL solar energy?

Data speaks volumes. On November 23rd, the official test report issued by the China National Institute of Metrology after authoritative certification showed that GCL Solar Energy's 1 meter × 2 meters perovskite module broke through the industry ceiling, achieving a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 18.04%, setting a new world record.
