Greatcell Energy

Greatcell Energy logoGreatcell Energy was formed following Greatecell Solar's liquidation. Greatecell Energy acquired all of Greatcell Solar's IP, equipment - and Italian subsidiary.

The company's main focus is on the low-light, indoor IoT market. Using a roll-to-roll low-cost method, the company developed a high-efficiency perovskite indoor solar panel and is now upscaling its facilities for production.

 

Greatcell energy also has a long term full-sun research program with several universities and large innovative corporations.

 

 

GreatCell Solar

Greatcell logo imageGreatCell Solar, formerly known as Dyesol, was an Australia-headquartered renewable energy supplier and leader in Perovskite Solar Cell (PSC) technology. In 2018 the company went bankrupt.

Following the company's liquidation in 2018, Greatcell Solar Materials was spun-off to a separate entity. In addition, GreatCell's Solar equipment, IP and subsidiary in Italy were acquired by a newly formed company called Greatcell Energy.

 

GreatCell manufactured and supplied PSC materials and was dedicated to the successful commercialization of PSC photovoltaics. It is mainly focused on:

​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.

 

Halocell Energy

Halocell Energy is focused on developing perovskite solar cell technology. Halocell Energy was renamed in 2023 from Greatcell Energy.

Halocell is dedicated to advancing the performance, stability, and scalability of perovskite solar cells to make them a viable and competitive alternative to traditional silicon-based photovoltaics.

Halocell uses halide elements in its perovskites along with many other aspects of cutting-edge materials science to harvest light across various settings and commercial applications. It develops products for indoor devices, outdoor devices and industrial assets.

Hanwha Q Cells

Hanwha Q CELLS logo imageHanwha 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.

Hefei BOE Solar Energy Tech (BOEST)

China-based BOE is a large display maker. In March 2024, BOE established a new company called Hefei BOE Solar Energy Tech and started its research on solar cells with perovskite materials.

Hefei BOE Solar Energy is located in BOE's B9 factory and plans to have an R&D lab with total investment around CNY 91 M. This project gained green light from local government in May 2024 and is working to build a 300mm x 300mm R&D line which is able to produce 22500 sheets annually. 2 months later, in  July 2024, a 2nd construction was announced as an expansion plan with total cost around CNY 871 M. According to the official announcement, a pilot line will be built in the expansion plan with designed capacity around 912500 sheets of solar cell annually.

Although the Company is planning significant solar cell capacity, BOE claimed those solar cells are merely for R&D and exhibition use without any external sales.

Hiking PV

Hiking PV, AKA Shenzhen Hiking PV, is a company dedicated to the R&D, manufacturing, and application of advanced energy technology. 

It develops perovskite-silicon tandem solar technology that aims to "facilitate the further development of the trillion-dollar photovoltaic industry. This technology can greatly improve the power conversion efficiency of solar cells with low-cost, thus enhancing the economics of photovoltaic technology", according to the Company's website.

In February 2024, Shenzhen Hiking PV unveiled plans to set up a joint venture with a state-run company to build gigawatt-level perovskite/polysilicon tandem cell and panel production capacity in Guangdong province

 

Holosolis

France-based Holosolis is a solar developer that was founded by three European entities: EIT Innoenergy, a clean-tech investor based in the Netherlands and financed by the EU; IDEC Group, a real estate developer in France; and TSE, a prominent solar energy producer in France and a leader in agrivoltaics. 

Holosolis is committed to manufacturing energy efficient modules using the latest photovoltaic technologies, with the lowest carbon footprint and highest social standards. It plans to build a state-of-the-art module gigafactory in Sarreguemines, Moselle, France, that will start production in 2025. It aims to produce 10 million PV panels per year.

Holosolis will accelerate innovation across the entire photovoltaic value chain, from raw materials to recycling, with products designed for the following markets:

* Residential rooftops
* Industrial and commercial rooftops
* Agrivoltaics
* Utility scale

In 2023, German silver metallization paste maker Heraeus acquired an unspecified stake in HoloSolis. Also, Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy (ISE) said that it will support HoloSolis in setting up its planned manufacturing facility.

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.
