Perovskite solar panels developers

Ascent Solar (NASDAQ: ASTI) manufactures flexible thin-film solar solutions that bring electric power to use cases where mass, shape & survivability matter.

Ascent solar films are developed using proprietary CIGS manufacturing processes. Its thin film PV panels are manufactured using CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenide) with patented monolithic integration. The patent-protected processes enable the company to precisely apply layers of these elements on a thin (25micron) polyamide substrate to create resilient and featherweight panels that convert sunlight into electric power.

Ascent Solar is also involved with perovskite solar developement. 

Beijing Yaoneng Technology Co., Ltd. was registered in Beijing (Haidian) Overseas Students Pioneer Park in 2017, and has obtained the Zhongguancun high-tech enterprise qualification.

It is the earliest domestic enterprise dedicated to the industrialization of perovskite crystalline silicon tandem solar cells.

Beyond Silicon focuses on bifacial perovskite/silicon tandem cells. The Company aims to achieve  30% more power compared to existing silicon cells and have the cells serve as a drop-in replacement for silicon PV module manufacturing.

Beyond Silicon was founded by Arizona State University  alums Zachary Holman and Zhengshan Yu.

Cosmos Innovation relies on its AI platform called Mobius to "revolutionizing the approach to solar and semiconductor process development". The company is trying to speed up the recipe development of perovskite silicon tandem technology by 10x to yield the most efficient solar cells, in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.

Founded by Vijay Chandrasekhar and Joel Li, Cosmos Innovation is led, advised and supported by experts at the intersection of AI, solar, semiconductors and deep tech. The company has raised funding from investors that include Xora Innovation, an early-stage, deep-tech investment platform of Temasek, a global investment company headquartered in Singapore; Innovation Endeavors; Two Sigma Ventures; DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis; noted MIT professor Tomaso Poggio, a founder of computational neuroscience; Richard Socher, leading natural language processing (NLP) researcher; and Western Technology Investments, one of the leading venture debt funds in Silicon Valley. 

DaZheng (Jiangsu) Micro-Nano Technologies is a China-based company that focuses on manufacturing flexible perovskite solar cell modules and related intelligent equipment.

The Company promises to deliver high performance, high stability, low cost flexible solar cell products and services. 

The Company seems to be offering perovskite solar cell modules, equipment and raw perovskite materials.

In July 2022, DaZheng announced the commercialization of large, flexible PSCs.

Enel Green Power was founded in December 2008 inside the Enel Group to develop and manage power generated from renewable resources worldwide.

The Company manages more than 1,200 power plants on five continents and has assets in operation or under construction in many countries and manages development activities in a further 5 countries. It has over 56 GW of installed renewable capacity from a mix of renewable resources, including wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal. It's also one of the founding members of RES4MED – Renewable Energy Solutions for the Mediterranean and Beyond – an association created in 2012 to promote renewable energy and the infrastructure needed to deliver electricity throughout the Mediterranean area.

Enel Green Power is also involved with perovskite solar cell development, with plans to offer more efficient solar modules based on tandem silicon-perovskite cells. The final products are planned to reach efficiencies of around 30%.

Evolisun Energy, co-based in China and Germany, focuses on the evolution of lithium and solar Energy. Evolisun has been working on perovskite solar cells since 2010.

Evolisun is also dedicated to worldwide supply of battery energy storage systems embedded with vertical integrated and purpose-built solutions into the demands of residential, commercial and industrial and microgrid application.
 

Founded in 1999, First Solar is an American solar technology company and global provider of responsibly produced, eco-efficient solar modules advancing the fight against climate change.

 The company is a U.S-headquartered company and does not manufacture in China. First Solar’s advanced thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules represent the next generation of solar technologies, providing a competitive, high-performance, lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV panels.

In May 2023, First Solar acquired Evolar.

Founded in Eugene, Oregon and established in 2009, Grape Solar is a retail solar brand with over a decade of experience providing grid-tied, grid-interactive and off-grid solar systems to businesses and individuals. 

In September 2023, it was announced that Grape Solar appointed Dr. Leon Dong to Spearhead R&D Effort of Perovskite Solar Technology, as the Company is entering the field of perovskite solar R&D.

U.S-based Halldata Solar is a printing company that prints a wide range of specialized labels and tags for a variety of specialized applications. It aims to use its 30 years of printing knowledge to manufacture flexible perovskite solar films.

The company has many printing technologies in its 22,000sf facility in eastern Washington State that give it the experience to create perovskite solar cells:

•  Roll-to-Roll Printing
•  Flatbed Screenprinting
•  Flexography
•  Plate Making
•  Convection and UV Curing
•  Conductive Inks
•  Slot Die & Rod Coating

​Halldata wishes to turn university research into working solar cells, and is working to establish a thin film perovskite solar cell manufacturing facility near Hanford, USA.

France-based Holosolis is a solar developer that was founded by three European entities: EIT Innoenergy, a clean-tech investor based in the Netherlands and financed by the EU; IDEC Group, a real estate developer in France; and TSE, a prominent solar energy producer in France and a leader in agrivoltaics. 

Holosolis is committed to manufacturing energy efficient modules using the latest photovoltaic technologies, with the lowest carbon footprint and highest social standards. It plans to build a state-of-the-art module gigafactory in Sarreguemines, Moselle, France, that will start production in 2025. It aims to produce 10 million PV panels per year.

Holosolis will accelerate innovation across the entire photovoltaic value chain, from raw materials to recycling, with products designed for the following markets:

* Residential rooftops
* Industrial and commercial rooftops
* Agrivoltaics
* Utility scale

In 2023, German silver metallization paste maker Heraeus acquired an unspecified stake in HoloSolis. Also, Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy (ISE) said that it will support HoloSolis in setting up its planned manufacturing facility.
