  • GCL Perovskite powers innovation with 1.13 MW solar modules for China Huaneng, achieving 22.43% efficiency in the Kubuqi Desert project.

GCL Perovskite, a division of GCL Group, secured a contract to supply 1.13 MW of perovskite modules to China Huaneng's Clean Energy Technology Research Institute. The project involves 3,528 modules, each with a peak power of 320 Wp and dimensions of 2,005 × 1005mm, for Phase II of a solar PV pilot demonstration in the Kubuqi Desert.

In January 2025, GCL Perovskite achieved a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 22.43% on its large 2048cm² single-junction perovskite solar module, a milestone verified by the China National Institute of Metrology.

What are the details of GCL Perovskite's contract with China Huaneng?

  • The contract between GCL Perovskite and China Huaneng is part of a larger initiative to advance solar energy technologies in challenging environments like deserts.
  • The 1.13 MW of perovskite modules will be used to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of solar power generation in the Kubuqi Desert.
  • The project aims to test the durability and performance of perovskite modules under harsh environmental conditions.
  • GCL Perovskite's modules are designed to be lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for deployment in remote and difficult-to-access areas.
  • The collaboration with China Huaneng is expected to provide valuable data on the long-term performance of perovskite solar technology.
  • This project is part of China's broader strategy to increase its renewable energy capacity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
  • The successful implementation of this project could pave the way for larger-scale adoption of perovskite solar technology in similar environments globally.
