It was reported that China-based UtmoLight has developed a 450 W perovskite solar module with a 16.1% efficiency rating. It claims that the panel is currently the largest perovskite PV module available.
The new module reportedly covers an area of 2.8 square meters, uses dual-glass encapsulation and features an open-circuit voltage of 190.7 V, a short-circuit current of 3.19, and a fill factor of 73.7%.
A spokesperson said the company's gigawatt-scale production line for perovskite modules has now completed full-process testing. This milestone follows its success with a 150 MW pilot line, making it the first company in the world to begin construction of a gigawatt-scale perovskite production facility.
UtmoLight implemented a comprehensive design upgrade for its expanded production line, integrating new manufacturing techniques and equipment to handle higher volumes.
UtmoLight plans to further optimize the gigawatt-scale line, scale up capacity, improve yields, and secure product certifications.
