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%.

Energy America

Energy America, a U.S-based solar module manufacturer, has a comprehensive range of PV products and solutions for residential, commercial, and utility needs.

Energy America has various global production facilities and is focused on: solar farm development, project management, IPP, and PPA.

In 2024, Energy America partnered with a German manufacturer to introduce perovskite solar cell technology to its product line.

Energy Materials Corp. (EMC)

Energy Materials Corp. (EMC) is focused on the development of high-speed, roll-to-roll printing of purebred perovskite solar panels.

EMC's manufacturer business model is based on leveraging joint development partners: Kodak's manufacturing facilities, and Corning's materials innovation, and combining them into a unique manufacturing model. This model inverts the restrictive, go slow paradigm with a pursuit of speed: in manufacturing scale-up, production throughput, capacity expansion and early revenue.

With over 100 years of Kodak printing experience and data informing development, EMC's model is mapped for rapid, broad market segment participation, market disrupting product pricing, and gross margins that are more than twice that of current module manufacturers.

Evolar

Evolar has been spun out of Uppsala University's thin film solar cell research cluster. Evolar aims to produce perovskite solar cells at a high volume.

Evolar defines itself as an expert on evaporation of thin film materials with solid industry experience and world leading technology achievements. It plans to use its know-how to design reliable solar cells and to fast scale new manufacturing processes.

It has a high throughput R&D line running 24/7 with a large number of experiments under production like conditions. Using its unique method to mechanically stack perovskite and conventional solar cells, Evolar achieved high efficiency as well as ease of integration.

In November 2020, Evolar announced that it is partnering with Magnora ASA, a leading investment company in renewable energy. The raised capital will be spent to scale the processes in Evolar's high throughput R&D tools and prototype line in Uppsala, Sweden and thereby bringing its technology to the market in the near future.

Evolisun Energy

Evolisun Energy, co-based in China and Germany, focuses on the evolution of lithium and solar Energy. Evolisun has been working on perovskite solar cells since 2010.

Evolisun is also dedicated to worldwide supply of battery energy storage systems embedded with vertical integrated and purpose-built solutions into the demands of residential, commercial and industrial and microgrid application.

Fellow Energy / Xiehang Energy

Jiangsu Xiehang Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Fellow Energy/Xiehang Energy), a holding company of Turkey’s Chen Solar photovoltaic module and smart device manufacturer, is primarily engaged in research, development and production of photovoltaic modules and intelligent equipment.

Its current annual production capacity is 3GW of solar products, with certificates from international authoritative institutions such as TUV and CSA. Its products are mainly delivered to China, Europe, North America and other developed countries.

In October 2024, it announced its plan to build a perovskite solar cell and module factory in Sichuan Province, China.

First Solar

Founded in 1999, First Solar is an American solar technology company and global provider of responsibly produced, eco-efficient solar modules advancing the fight against climate change.

The company is a U.S-headquartered company and does not manufacture in China. First Solar’s advanced thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules represent the next generation of solar technologies, providing a competitive, high-performance, lower-carbon alternative to conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV panels.

In May 2023, First Solar acquired Evolar.

Flexell Space

Flexell Space is South Korea's Hanwha Systems' in-house venture.

It aims to develop solar cells for space, with high efficiency, low cost, extreme durability and more. It seems that it's products are CIGS/Perovskite tandem cells. Its key technology, according to the Company's website, is based on radiation resistance and self-curing capabilities to maintain performance until End-of-Life.

In August 2024, Flexell Space signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Germany's Airbus Defense and Space to develop next-generation space solar cell modules.

Golden Solar New Energy Technology Holdings

Golden Solar New Energy Technology Holdings Limited (Originally Baofeng Modern International Holdings Company Limited) is an investment holdings company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Stock Code: 1121).

Earlier on, Golden Solar’s subsidiary, Quanzhou Baofeng Shoes Co., Ltd. engaged in the manufacture and sale of slippers, flip-flops, sandals and casual footwear for Original Equipment Manufacturer customers and design and manufacture of slippers under its own brands of Boree and Baofeng in China.

The Company set out to transform its business model. In addition to completing the acquisition of technological know-how in graphene materials technology, Golden Solar has been selectively hiring scientists and researchers. The company had since then successfully commercialized the graphene materials technology and its application in footwears and air purification devices, and thus re-positioned itself from a traditional manufacturing company to a materials science company.

Grape Solar

Founded in Eugene, Oregon and established in 2009, Grape Solar is a retail solar brand with over a decade of experience providing grid-tied, grid-interactive and off-grid solar systems to businesses and individuals.

In September 2023, it was announced that Grape Solar appointed Dr. Leon Dong to Spearhead R&D Effort of Perovskite Solar Technology, as the Company is entering the field of perovskite solar R&D.
