The Chinese developer of perovskite solar technology said the result is currently being tested by an unspecified third-party authoritative laboratory in China. This achievement is part of the company’s efforts to bring its perovskite cell technology closer to commercial production.
China’s Hefei BOE Solar Technology Co. Ltd, part of the Chinese technology company BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd., has provided an update on the progress of the perovskites.
According to the submit available on the Chinese stock exchange, investors recently visited Hefei BOE Solar, which focuses on the research and development of perovskite solar cells. The company was founded in March 2024 and is located in Hefei city in eastern China’s Anhui province.
According to the filing, Hefei BOE Solar has taken a pilot perovskite production line from installation to first sample rollout in 38 days, which it claims is a new record.
It adds that BOE Technology Group’s The accumulation of glass-based processing capabilities, thin-film preparation process capabilities, packaging and equipment advantages and large-scale intelligent manufacturing capabilities can “effectively strengthen the R&D and production process of perovskite solar cells and accelerate the industrialization process.”
Hefei BOE Solar says it is simultaneously developing rigid, flexible and tandem module technologies and has achieved full process integration between the glovebox (2.5cm x 2.5cm), experimental (30cm x 30cm) and pilot production lines (120cm x 240cm).
According to the filing, the small cell device achieved a maximum efficiency of 27.37% during testing by an unspecified third-party authoritative laboratory, which it claims breaks the world record. Meanwhile, the pilot line has managed to produce a 2.88 m2 module with a power of 579 W and a total area efficiency of 20.11%.
For its flexible modules, Hefei BOE Solar says its experimental line has achieved an efficiency of 21.39%, while its pilot line has achieved a flexible efficiency of 16.6% with an output power of 433W. The update says that both results are the same world records for efficiency.
When asked by investors what the key areas of focus are, Hefei BOE Solar said it is currently focusing on improving the efficiency and service life of perovskite modules by increasing R&D investment in the short term. It also recommended that it build a 100 kWh demonstration plant and then build third-party outdoor demonstrations to evaluate the stability of perovskite modules under practical applications.
