Perovskite equipment makers

Aevi Laboratories is a Netherlands-based early-stage company (currently a B.V. in formation, part of the ESA Business Incubation Centre program) developing an autonomous discovery and qualification platform for ultra-lightweight perovskite solar materials designed to survive the space environment. 

The company's platform is designed to stress-test up to 64 materials simultaneously under vacuum, thermal cycling from −150°C to +120°C, and simulated sunlight, with live monitoring of crystal structure, optical properties, electrical output, and outgassing, generating degradation datasets intended to accelerate the qualification of space-stable perovskite materials. The company positions its perovskite materials, described as roughly 10 times lighter than today's space solar arrays, as a foundation for future satellite power systems and, longer term, gigawatt-class orbital solar power infrastructure.

Aevi Laboratories was founded by Daniel Natan, a chemist and automation engineer with more than 20 years of experience spanning automation and robotics and materials science and crystallography. The company's core instrument, AEVI-1, is currently in development.

Alpha Precision Systems (APS) is the international arm for China-based SPS, that handles its business outside of China. It was founded in 2025 and is based in Texas.

APS is an equipment company focused on precision slot‑die coating and turnkey production lines for perovskite solar cells and other thin‑film applications. It is said to operate demo and manufacturing facilities in both the United States and China, reflecting its role as the U.S. unit or affiliate of SPS focused on advanced coating equipment. 

SPS and the now-defunct nTact had a longstanding cooperation to develop the market in China, so when nTact closed its doors, SPS decided to make use of the experience it has with nTact systems and offer various forms of support to its users. APS also took over nTact's slot-die coater business for R&D to Large scale production.

Avaco is a specialized equipment and systems maker, developing equipment mostly for the display and solar industries.

Avaco offers encapsulation and evaporation system for OLED display makers.

In June 2026, Avaco annouced that it is expanding the commercialization of its "low-damage sputter" technology for next-generation display and energy devices. The company is accelerating its push into the electrode process market for organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and perovskite solar cells (PSC). 

BrightSpot Automation provides the solar energy industry and photovoltaic researchers with specialized manufacturing and measurement tools. Its focus is on helping to improve module durability and performance.

The Company defines itself as 'the solar cell crack and contact resistance experts', and has testing solutions for all PV technologies including Silicon, CdTe, CIGS, and perovskites.

The Company offers various products like camera systems, EL testing equipment and more, as well as services related to its portfolio of products, like:

• Testing/measurements/data-analysis
• Field EL and UVF testing of mounted panels
• Indoor EL testing of pallets of panels
• Enhancement of your EL and UVF images and independent analysis reporting including pass/fail or quality level quantification, risk assessment, and likely origin of different defect types
• Strategic assessments
• Choice of modules for project
• Early stage planning of projects relating to factory EL images, pre- and post-installation testing, and acceptance criteria
• Due diligence investigations

Choshu Industry Co., Ltd. is a Japanese manufacturer that leverages advanced technologies across energy systems and high‑tech manufacturing equipment. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the company has grown to around 750 employees and operates globally through group companies and overseas subsidiaries.

In the energy field, Choshu Industry designs, manufactures, and sells solar power systems and other environmental equipment, backed by more than 20 years of experience in residential and industrial photovoltaic installations. The company has established a vertically integrated production system for crystalline‑silicon photovoltaic modules, from ingot pulling to cell and module manufacturing, enabling stringent in‑house quality control and long‑term reliability testing under diverse weather conditions.

In parallel, Choshu Industry develops and supplies equipment for cutting‑edge electronic devices, including organic EL (OLED) displays and semiconductors. Its portfolio spans vacuum evaporation and sputtering systems, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and mechatronics solutions, supported by in‑house capabilities in ultraprecision sheet‑metal processing, machining, assembly, and maintenance.

Germany-based Coatema, founded in 1974, is a PV equipment company that designs and produces Sheet-to-Sheet and Roll-to-Roll equipment for the coating, printing and laminating sectors. Among its products are roll-to-roll processing solutions that cover the whole range from lab or pilot to production scale and are suitable for flexible organic, perovskite, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) technologies.

The largest in this line of PV roll-to-roll products is Click&Coat, a model with working web widths of 300 mm, 500 mm and 1,000 mm. It is designed to be customized with over 30 different process modules, including dryer, laminator, laser process, cutting, and quality control equipment.

For coating alone, there are over 20 modules available, including gravure, doctor blade, slot die coating, rotary screen, curtain coating, and screenprinting. As for drying, the company offers further choices, such as hot air, infrared, UV crosslinking, and jet drying.
