Huasun Energy

Anhui Huasun Energy Co., Ltd ( "Huasun Energy"), founded in July 2020, is a technological innovation enterprise specialized in the R&D and large-scale manufacturing of ultra-high efficiency N-type silicon heterojunction (HJT) solar wafer, cell and module. In 2023, it was implied that the Company is also working on heterojunction-perovskite tandem solar cells.

As one of the industrial pioneers of heterojunction technology in China, Huasun has delivered over 2GW of HJT products to over 30 countries around the globe. Huasun owns 12GW capacity of high-efficiency HJT products, ranking as the largest HJT manufacturer in the world. The company plans to achieve 40GW HJT capacity by the end of 2025.

In November 2023, Huasun Energy announced a fund raise and plans to develop heterojunction-perovskite tandem solar cells.

Hunt Perovskite Technologies (CubicPV)

Hunt Perovskite Technologies logo imageIn 2021, Hunt Perovskite Technologies merged with 1366 Technologies to create CubicPV.

Founded in 2013, Hunt Perovskite Technologies (HPT) specializes in highly-stable and efficient metal halide perovskite in single-junction solar panels for the utility-scale market.

HPT claims that after achieving highly-efficient (>18%) metal halide perovskite PV devices in spring 2014, it resolved to stabilize the perovskite material through better chemistry. Its early tests showed that even though the perovskite devices were highly-efficient and very reproducible, all the materials that made for an efficient device, also caused the PV device to fail.

 

HPT's team of scientists and engineers has designed its own stable and efficient perovskite solar cell from the ground-up. HPT is also exploring other applications incorporating its highly-stable and efficient perovskite semiconductor.
