Hardcore technology breaks through barriers, leading the era of GW-level mass production of perovskite

-- Hefei Hengli redefines the new benchmark for industrial commercialization with its strong capabilities in thermal equipment

As perovskite photovoltaics move from laboratory research and development to GW-scale mass production, technological breakthroughs in core process equipment have become the key lifeblood determining the speed and height of industrial implementation. At the Changzhou Asia-Pacific Perovskite Forum, a top-tier industry event, Hefei Hengli Equipment made a sensational debut with its full range of perovskite heat treatment core equipment. Leveraging over three decades of deep technical accumulation in thermal equipment and the self-research strength of a military-owned central enterprise, it directly addresses core pain points in the perovskite mass production process, such as uneven crystallization, low yield, high energy consumption, and difficulty in adapting to large-area substrates. With independently controllable high-end equipment, it breaks through the last mile of industrialization for China's perovskite industry, leading the new journey of commercialization for the next generation of photovoltaic technology.

As a core enterprise under the 43rd Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, Hefei Hengli has been rooted in the field of thermal equipment for over three decades. It is a national high-tech enterprise and a champion enterprise in Anhui Province for specialized, refined, unique, and innovative products. With a long-term commitment to high-end manufacturing fields such as photovoltaics, pan-semiconductors, and lithium batteries, it has accumulated industry-leading core technologies in high temperature, vacuum, and precise atmosphere control. It has established a comprehensive research and development and mass production system for perovskite equipment, and has long been a leading supplier in the field of perovskite thermal treatment equipment. It has forged deep partnerships with industry leaders such as GCL and Renshuo, helping multiple GW-scale perovskite production lines to be put into operation, and verifying its technical strength through practical results.

The forum featured three strategic-level products: the GW-scale roller-type perovskite crystallization annealing production line, PVD magnetron sputtering equipment, and high-cleanliness layered crystallization annealing furnace. These products constitute a full-process equipment solution covering research and development, pilot testing, and large-scale mass production. Among them, the GW-scale roller-type crystallization annealing production line, as the industry's first product, boasts completely independent intellectual property rights. With an annual production capacity exceeding 1GW for a single production line, it helps enterprises improve yield by more than 15% and reduce energy consumption by 20%, truly achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the mass production of perovskite modules. The high-cleanliness layered crystallization annealing furnace, designed with modularity in mind, flexibly meets the needs of small and medium-sized production capacities as well as research and development testing, and is compatible with multiple process route switching. The PVD magnetron sputtering equipment is a mature, efficient, low-temperature, large-area vacuum coating technology that perfectly suits key processes such as electrodes, transmission layers, and electrodes for perovskite photovoltaics. It is the core equipment for perovskite to move towards GW-scale industrialization.

   From the perspective of core technological barriers, Hefei Hengli has broken the monopoly of foreign equipment, achieving independent controllability of three core technologies: high-cleanliness furnace, precise temperature control, and intelligent production line integration. These technologies fully adapt to the full process needs of single-junction, tandem, and flexible perovskite. At this forum, Hefei Hengli will deliver a keynote speech to share core processes and technical solutions for mass production, explore paths for technological breakthroughs with partners across the entire industry chain, jointly establish industry mass production standards, and inject core equipment momentum into the realization of the national "dual carbon" strategic goals.
