GCL photovoltaic panel grade standards

What is GCL photoelectric materials?

GCL Photoelectric Materials, a subsidiary of GCL Group specializing in the research and production of perovskite solar cells and panels, has announced that its 1 m x 2 m perovskite single-junction module has achieved a power conversion efficiency of 18.04%. The group said that the China National Institute of Metrology has certified the result.

Does GCL-Si have a 320 W perovskite solar module?

GCL-SI has launched a new 320 W perovskite solar module. The company guarantees that the 10-year end power output will be at least 90% of the nominal output power, which decreases to 80% after 25 years. GCL System Integration (GCL-SI), the PV panel unit of GCL Group, unveiled a perovskite solar module at the SNEC trade show in Shanghai in May.

Where does GCL-Si manufacture solar perovskite?

GCL-SI already operates a 10 MW perovskite production line in Suzhou since 2019, and currently runs a 100 MW line with plans for further scaling to 1 GW. In the solar perovskite business, the manufacturer operates through its subsidiaries Kunshan GCL Photoelectric Materials Co., Ltd. and Suzhou GCL Nano Technology Co., Ltd.

What is GCL-perovskite?

GCL-Perovskite is also aiming to achieve a power conversion efficiency of over 26% for perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules by the end of next year. In the solar perovskite business, the manufacturer operates through its subsidiaries Kunshan GCL Photoelectric Materials Co., Ltd. and Suzhou GCL Nano Technology Co., Ltd.

Why is GCL-Si pursuing perovskite development?

The company's pursuit of perovskite development is driven by the potential for significantly lower costs compared to silicon products. GCL-SI already operates a 10 MW perovskite production line in Suzhou since 2019, and currently runs a 100 MW line with plans for further scaling to 1 GW.

How much does a solar panel weigh?

The panel measures 2,005 mm x 1,005 mm x 35 mm and weighs 34.5 kg. It uses an encapsulant film based on polyolefin elastomer (POE) and 3.2 mm semi-tempered glass. It can operate with a maximum system voltage of 1,000 V and operating temperatures ranging from -40 C to 85 C.
