The world’s first gigawatt (GW)-scale perovskite photovoltaic (PV) module mass production line, built by Jidian Solar, has officially begun operations in Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiangsu Province. As a major provincial project, the facility is expected to produce approximately 1.8 million perovskite PV modules annually at full capacity, marking a significant step toward the large-scale commercialization of perovskite technology and the transition to greener, low-carbon energy solutions.
Amid the accelerating global shift to renewable energy, perovskite PV technology is gaining attention as the “next-generation photovoltaic solution,” offering high efficiency, lower costs, a smaller carbon footprint, transparency, and flexibility—features that position it as a potential game-changer over traditional crystalline silicon technology. Jidian Solar’s GW-scale production line is currently the world’s largest operational facility for perovskite module manufacturing, integrating cutting-edge technology and equipment. The company has developed its proprietary “Jichuang+” system to address key industry challenges, including large-area module fabrication, efficiency enhancement, and long-term stability.
On November 5, 2024, Jidian Solar completed a full-process trial run of the production line, successfully rolling out the first ultra-large perovskite module, measuring 2.8 square meters. The module achieved a record-breaking power output of 450W and a full-area efficiency of 16.1%, setting new industry benchmarks for both size and performance. The launch of this GW-scale perovskite module production line is expected to accelerate the adoption of perovskite technology in large-scale solar farms and distributed PV systems. Additionally, it will strengthen the upstream and downstream supply chain, providing crucial technological support for achieving global carbon neutrality goals.
