In
September 2017, Microquanta Co., Ltd signed an investment agreement
with the investment fund of Insigma. Dr. Jizhong Yao, CEO of microquanta
and Zhang Canhong, vice president of Insigma Group attended the signing
ceremony.
Over
the years, PV generation as the representative of clean energy
maintained a rapid development, and gradually changed Chinese energy
structure, according to Chinese goverment's energy planning, to the end
of 2020, the proportion of clean energy consumption will reach 15%. In
order to create a more clean and efficient photovoltaic cells, since
2015 Microquanta has always been committed to the commercialising the
perovskite solar cells. Insigma group invest Microquanta will assist to
complete the perovskite solar cell preliminary industrialization.
As
a platform of Zhejiang University’s research and production, Insigma
has always held the motto of "Faith of truth and innovation" and devoted
itself to scientific and technological innovation and achievements
transformation. Relying on the academic advantages of Zhejiang
University, Insigma focus on energy conservation and environmental
protection business, and actively promote independent innovation and
core products’ localization.
The
strategic cooperation between the two sides will help the perovskite
modules as soon as possible to achieve commercial and low-cost
applications.
Perovskite & Microquanta
Perovskite
Cell solar is a new type of thin-film solar cell, which is made of
"organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite". The material not only has
excellent photoelectric properties, but also can be prepared by low
temperature solution, and the raw material source is rich and the cost
is low. Since its first reported in 2009, its photoelectric conversion
efficiency has jumped from the initial 3.8% to 22.1%, becoming the
largest dark horse ever in the photovoltaic industry, and showing great
commercial value. "Science" magazine in 2013 ranked it as one of the
"ten breakthrough", 2016 Davos World Economic Forum (Tianjin) included
it in the "ten new technology" list. The world's top scientific research
institutions and large multinational companies, such as Oxford, EPFL
have invested a lot of manpower and resources in recent years, and
strive to achieve production.
Microquanta
established in July 2015 by Dr. Jizhong Yao, Dr. Buyi Yan and Professor
Yang Yang. The team have a strong R & D capability and is mainly
engaged in the research and application of perovskite thin film solar
cells, since its establishment the company continuously breakthrough in
perovskite technology. The large area(area more than 16cm2)
perovskite thin film modules produced by Microquanta in June 2017, its
photovoltaic conversion rate reached 16%, through the third party
certification organization Newport, which has a substantial increase in
the perovskite solar modules compared to the former world record
efficiency 12.1%. Microquanta is a first-class level of the world in
perovskite module area.
