Perovskite solar panels developers

Enel Green Power

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%.

Ascent Solar Technologies

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.

Taiwan Perovskite Technology

Taiwan Perovskite Technology (TPT) is focused on the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), providing integrated solutions and innovative services.

As PSC experts, TPT provides measuring instruments and integrated solutions covering design, research and development, software, sample testing, analysis and management, so that customers can effectively and accurately measure the highest conversion efficiency of PSCs.

QD Solar

QD Solar Inc. is a start-up out of Toronto, Canada, commercializing IP-protected world-leading cutting-edge photovoltaic research out of the University of Toronto.

The team combines perovskites with other solar materials in a tandem configuration to take solar beyond efficiencies achievable using standard silicon technology.

As part of Canada’s effort towards a zero-carbon, zero-waste economy, QD Solar was awarded CAD$5.3 Million in non-dilutive funding by SDTC, Canada’s largest federal cleantech fund

Halldata Solar

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.

Hanwha Q Cells

Hanwha Q CELLS is a Korean PV company, that manufactures solar cells and modules, Its leading brand is Q CELLS.

Hanwha Q CELLS is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The headquarters for Technology & Innovation is located in the Solar Valley in Thalheim, Germany. Its products are manufactured in international facilities in China, Malaysia and South Korea. The products and services are sold via our worldwide sales network, spanning photovoltaic markets in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, South America, Africa and the Middle East.

Q.ANTUM Technology by Q CELLS is based on Passivated Emitter Rear Cell (PERC) technology, that involves installing a reflective layer designed to capture previously unused light back into the cell and convert it to solar electricity.

The Company offers PV solutions for the residential, commercial, industrial and utility sectors.

SOLRA-PV

SOLRA-PV, based in Israel, was spun-off from the Hebrew University to commercialize the research of Prof. Lioz Etgar, aiming to develop next-generation perovskite PVs for indoor applications (mainly IoT devices).

The SOLRA-PV panels feature adjustable and tunable light absorbance, to enable light conversion from artificial indoor light.

EneCoat

EneCoat Technologies is a Japan-based company working on materials development for perovskite solar cells and the commercialization of modules.

Enecoat plans to use a low-temperature coating process to create uniform thin films, and utilize roll-to-roll technology (while taking advantage of the wet processâ€™s suitability for large areas and mass production) for commercialization.

CubicPV

CubicPV was established by Hunt Perovskite Technologies and 1366 Technologies, a US-based energy company.

The merger combines two technologies: 1366's Direct Wafer process and HPT's printed perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology to bring to market tandem modules. The combined company, CubicPV, has also received $25 million in funding from Hunt Energy Enterprises, L.L.C. (HEE), First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV) and others. HEE will join the Board of Directors.

CubicPV has offices in Bedford, Massachusetts, and Dallas, Texas. The name holds significance as it reflects the shared cubic crystal structure of both silicon and perovskite.

P3C

P3C is an India-based startup that develops new generation photovoltaics and associated components. P3C started at IIT BHU and has also support from IIT Delhi.

Its mission in to take perovskite solar cells from lab to market.

P3C is developing its own manufacturing facility and PSC technology. P3C is also committed to developing a wide range of nanotechnology-based products. It is working towards the design & development of both the machinery and technology required for independent production.
