Microquanta moves towards scale-up with SMIT Thermal Solutions' equipment for GW perovskite factory

Microquanta, a perovskite solar cell manufacturer based in Hangzhou, China, has announced its latest procurement of state-of-the-art vacuum deposition equipment from SMIT Thermal Solutions. This significant acquisition, surpassing 9 million Euros in value, marks a pivotal moment in Microquanta's journey towards launching the world's first gigawatt-scale (GW) perovskite solar cell factory in Hangzhou.

This collaboration with SMIT Thermal Solutions is not a first for Microquanta; the Dutch-based company has been a partner since 2018, starting with a pilot setup, followed by the delivery of a mass production system for Microquanta's 100MW factory. The latest deal involves cutting-edge next-generation mass production systems, tailored to meet the ambitious scale and efficiency goals of Microquanta's GW factory.

 

Dr. Jizhong Yao, CEO of Microquanta, expressed his confidence in SMIT Thermal Solutions, stating, "The proven performance and reliability reflected in uptime and output performance of the last production machine convinced us to continue our partnership with SMIT Thermal Solutions." 

This strategic move not only strengthens Microquanta's position as a global leader in the renewable energy sector but also signifies a major step forward in the commercialization and large-scale production of perovskite solar cells. The GW factory is set to revolutionize the solar energy industry, offering a new paradigm of efficiency and sustainability.
