Perovskite manufacturer UtmoLight has announced that 2 of its projects have been included in Jiangsu Province’s 2025 Urban and Rural Development Special Fund (Green Building category).
The first project, the Perovskite Solar Cell Innovation R&D Center, is located within UtmoLight’s all-scenario green electricity campus and spans a total floor area of 13,240 m2. It integrates perovskite cells into curtain walls, corridors, and rooftops, aiming to explore efficient, scenario-based, and intelligent building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), with the company claiming to have saved the energy rate of 86.18%.
The second project to be selected is the Taihu Bay International Culture and Art Center and Symphony Hall in Wuxi, where UtmoLight has partnered with CSCEC 8th Bureau to deploy a perovskite solar tile system. This system combines quantum dot and low-reflection coating technologies, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 21.7% while providing both solar shading and architectural aesthetics.
In May, UtmoLight completed its first zero-carbon industrial park dedicated to perovskite photovoltaics in Wuxi (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
The Investment Promotion Bureau of Qujing City, Yunnan Province, has issued a call for investment in a 300 MW perovskite tandem solar cell manufacturing facility. The RMB 150 million ($20.94 million) initiative invites interested enterprises to participate via joint ventures, equity partnerships, or cooperative agreements. The plan includes constructing 3 pilot production lines with 100 MW capacity each for perovskite tandem cells, with an estimated R&D output of 200,000 cells annually. Construction is expected to take 2 to 3 years.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) recently held a symposium with leading solar photovoltaic manufacturers and the China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) to discuss strategies for promoting high-quality development in the PV sector.
Lecheng Li, Party Secretary and Minister of MIIT, emphasized the need to curb disorderly and low-price competition in the solar industry through legal and regulatory means, while encouraging companies to improve product quality and phase out outdated production capacity in an orderly manner. He also stressed the importance of innovation, quality and safety, and international collaboration, urging enterprises to become global leaders in solar technology and key players in the low-carbon energy transition. The CPIA was tasked with serving as a bridge between government and enterprises, promoting industry self-discipline and facilitating a healthy industrial ecosystem. MIIT pledged to enhance macro-level guidance and industry governance going forward.
Recently, MIIT issued a notice outlining plans to deepen the standardization of green and low-carbon practices in industry and information technology (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
A subsidiary of China Huadian has received approval from the local Development and Reform Commission for its integrated wind-solar-hydrogen project in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia. The project involves a total investment of RMB 6.7645 billion ($944.46 million) and includes 700 MW of wind and 300 MW of solar power, along with a 100 MW/200 MWh lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system.
The generated renewable electricity will support an electrolysis-based hydrogen production system, comprising 126 sets of 1,000 Nm³/h electrolyzers and related equipment, with an annual hydrogen output of 547 million Nm³. The project will also include 25 hydrogen storage tanks (2,000 Nm³ each), with a total hydrogen storage capacity of 650,000 Nm³.
