PVTIME – The Yudian Super Charging Station, the Greater Bay Area’s first integrated demonstration project combining perovskite solar, storage and charging, has successfully connected to the grid and officially entered service in Pingshan, Shenzhen, China. UtmoLight and PhenoSolar collaborated on developing perovskite modules and façade photovoltaic systems, facilitating the practical deployment of this innovative technology.
The project’s first-phase rooftop distributed photovoltaic system spans approximately 4,000 square metres and features a total installed capacity of 76.68 kWp. This comprises 45 kWp of high-efficiency mainstream monocrystalline silicon TOPCon modules and 31.68 kWp of UtmoLight’s advanced 0.72 m² perovskite modules. Full commissioning of the project establishes a new energy demonstration benchmark that integrates cutting-edge technology, new material applications, smart energy management, and in-depth industrial integration.
Operational data has yielded impressive results, particularly on 10 June 2025, when favourable sunlight conditions were present. The monocrystalline silicon system achieved a maximum power output of 44.011 kW, representing 97.80% of its rated capacity, while the perovskite system delivered an impressive 33.001 kW, equivalent to 104.17% of its installed capacity. Notably, the perovskite modules generated 6.37% more power per kW than their monocrystalline silicon counterparts, frequently exceeding their rated capacity and maintaining a long-term system efficiency of 100%, challenging conventional photovoltaic operational models.
These performance figures provide valuable data and references for designing and operating future perovskite projects across the Greater Bay Area and the rest of the country, highlighting the technology’s advantages in terms of operational power and system efficiency. Real-world data confirms that, while TOPCon monocrystalline silicon modules already outperform PERC monocrystalline silicon modules in terms of low-light performance and temperature coefficients, perovskite modules offer higher power generation per installed kW and longer equivalent operating hours under identical environmental conditions.
Between 10 and 30 June, the equivalent operating hours of the perovskite modules were 6–14% higher than those of the TOPCon modules. This further validates their exceptional low-light power generation capability and highlights their potential applications in challenging climatic conditions.
