100 PV solar cell manufacturers in China

More than 100 companies in China, led by CATL and BYD, are mass producing thin, light-weight perovskite solar cells, reports the Nikkei.

Last year, UtmoLight started up what is intended to be a 1GW factory making 1.8 million cells a year with a conversion efficiency of 17.44%. 

Hangzhou Microquanta Semiconductor Technology has been in production for four years with a 100MW annual capacity.

Last year, Kunshan GCL Optoelectronic Materials brought up a $726 million with a capacity of 1GW intending  to rise to 2GW.

Renshine Solar (pictured) makes perovskite modules and considered to be a top ten producer.

Hiking PV started construction of a 7 GW  perovskite tandem cell facility in 2023, aiming for completion by late 2025.

Mellow Energy is building a 100 MW  and targeting GW‑scale capacity.

MicroQuanta  has commissioned an 8.2 MW plant using its 90 W perovskite panels.

With the power conversion efficiency of silicon solar cells approaching its theoretical limit, perovskite solar cells offer countless combinations of materials that create significant room for improvement.
