China Solar PV News Snippets

Microquanta launches world's '1^st' Perovskite-Fishery Solar Project in Zhejiang; Drinda, Akcome and Pacific Quartz release business forecast for H1/2023.

Perovskite-fishery project: Chinese perovskite company Microquanta has announced grid connecting the world's '1^st' perovskite-fishery solar PV power station in China, and the company's 5^th perovskite distributed power plant to have been successfully grid connected. Microquanta claims this is also the 1^st new commercial application of perovskite modules in the field of composite photovoltaics. Located in Quzhou city of Zhejiang province in a humid environment, the project has 260 kW installed capacity, comprising modules certified for their stability by the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) and the German Association of Electrical Engineers (VDE). Microquanta claims its perovskite modules come with an advanced encapsulation solution that makes them resistant to damage from moisture and oxygen.
