From R&D to Commercialization

Qn-SOLAR is transitioning from research to large-scale production:

  • Current Status: The company operates a pilot-scale laboratory line, with some projects already in real-world applications.

  • Production Roadmap: A 20MW production line is set for launch in the second half of 2025, followed by a 50MW facility in 2026, paving the way for full commercialization.

  • Expert Team & Facilities: The company's 1,000m² research center houses one of the earliest perovskite R&D teams in the industry, ensuring continuous innovation and product optimization.
"Our advancements in perovskite technology will redefine the future of solar energy," said Stephen Cai, Chairman of Qn-SOLAR. "We are committed to accelerating the commercialization of this revolutionary technology, making clean energy more efficient, accessible, and sustainable."

Engaging the Public with Real Initiatives

To celebrate Earth Hour 2025, Qn-SOLAR launched an online campaign encouraging individuals to share their experiences using clean energy with the hashtag #BiggestHourForEarth. The company also reinforced its commitment to sustainability through everyday operations:

  • Low-Carbon Factories: Qn-SOLAR facilities rely on solar power for self-consumption, and office spaces are transitioning to paperless operations.

  • Employee Engagement: The company promotes environmental responsibility with activities like "plogging" (jogging while picking up litter) and encourages staff to turn off lights and spread awareness online.
A More Resilient Future Powered by Innovation

Looking ahead, Qn-SOLAR remains dedicated to harnessing technology to create a more sustainable planet. By leveraging clean energy solutions, the company is committed to reducing carbon footprints, advancing sustainable practices, and building a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
