Yanhe Technology and Soochow University have signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement to jointly build a research and development laboratory dedicated to perovskite - crystalline silicon tandem solar cells. The new joint lab will serve as a core platform for university-enterprise collaborative innovation, targeting key technical bottlenecks across the full industry chain - from fundamental research through engineering, mass production and end‑use applications.
Under the joint construction plan, the lab will focus specifically on perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells as a “core track,” aiming to develop original, industry‑leading technologies and products while systematically resolving pain points in R&D, production and application. The cooperation will follow an enterprise‑led, university‑supported and two‑way innovation model. Soochow University will concentrate on basic research and theoretical advances to continuously support Yanhe’s technology upgrades, while Yanhe Technology will drive engineering scaling, pilot verification and process maturation of university results, opening a complete pathway from lab‑scale research to market‑ready applications.
Soochow University brings strong disciplinary strengths in materials science, optoelectronics and energy science, backed by high‑level research teams, advanced platforms and proven capabilities in original innovation and technology transfer. The university has been involved in new energy research for years, building innovation consortia led by enterprises and supported by universities, and is recognized as an important domestic hub for technology breakthroughs and talent cultivation in the new energy field.
Yanhe Technology, established in 2023 and based in Huairou Science City, is a core science and technology enterprise whose founding team largely hails from Peking University and has long focused on perovskite solar cell modules and supporting equipment. Leveraging its deep accumulation in cutting‑edge perovskite technologies, the company has steadily strengthened its industry competitiveness and completed a multi‑million‑yuan Series A2 financing round in May this year. Yanhe has built a standardized aerospace‑grade environmental testing platform and accumulated extensive experience in perovskite cell core technology R&D and space‑condition adaptation, laying the groundwork for iterative aerospace photovoltaic products and commercialization.
