Utmo Light, a Chinese perovskite firm, demonstrated its first industrial perovskite photo voltaic module this week on the SNEC PV commerce present in Shanghai. The Module UL-M12-G1 measures 1,200 mm x 600 mm and is on the market in 4 energy varieties, from 110 W to 130 W.
Utmo Light President Zhenrui Yu mentioned pv journal at SNEC in Shanghai that the primary goal for the brand new perovskite modules can be building-integrated PV (BIPV) functions. Unlike crystalline modules, translucent perovskite panels could be tinted in any shade. Utmo Light affords modules connected to a sheet of glass measuring 2.4 meters by 1.2 meters for constructing integration.
Yu mentioned the panels have handed all IEC testing for photo voltaic modules and might stand up to 2,300 hours of UV tub at 1,000 watts per sq. meter and 60 C, for 12 years of operation with out degradation. He mentioned the corporate has been creating perovskite expertise since 2018 and has solved the early degradation drawback. It affords a 10-year product guarantee and a 25-year linear degradation guarantee.
Yu mentioned the product is already being bought, with a number of kilowatt-scale initiatives being put in in China and Japan. He expects the installations to succeed in the megawatt scale by the tip of the 12 months.
The firm is constructing a brand new line with 1 GW annual manufacturing capability. The manufacturing line, scheduled for completion this 12 months in Wuxi, China, will produce modules measuring 2.2 meters by 1.2 meters.
Utmo Light has established a working group to develop perovskite silicon tandem cells, aiming for effectivity rankings of greater than 30%. Yu declined to offer a timeline for industrial availability.
Yu mentioned the perovskite modules price about CNY 1.4 ($0.19)/W. He mentioned perovskites could possibly be made cheaper than this, and claimed that after the corporate’s 1 GW industrial line is absolutely operational, prices may drop to $0.11/W.
