On February 15, the world`s first ground-mounted solar PV station with Microquanta`s perovskite modules began construction in Qujiang, a district in China`s costal province Zhejiang.

The project covers an area of about 166,666 m2, with an installed capacity of 12 MW and a total investment of 60 million yuan.
Once the project is completed, it will be the world's first ground-mounted solar PV station with perovskite modules. The commencement of the project marks the maturity of the much anticipated next-gen perovskite technology.
In November last year, Microquanta reported a new world record efficiency of 21.4% for the stabilized efficiency of perovskite mini-module. And only a month later, the company set another record for its four-terminal perovskite-Si tandem module, which reaches a conversion efficiency of 26.63%.
Perovskite is believed to have excellent optical and electrical properties, and the cost of raw materials is only about 5% of that of silicon-based products. It is believed to have huge potential for large-scale applications.
Yao Jizhong, chairman of Microquanta New Energy, said on the project commencement ceremony that Microquanta has built the world`s first perovskite facility with 100 MW production capacity.
He believed that the ground-mounted perovskite solar farm will become a milestone for the solar PV industry.
