[SMM PV] Two Companies Join Forces to Enter Space PV!

Published: May 22, 2026 12:01

TCL Zhonghuan New Energy recently announced that it will join hands with Heiguan Optoelectronics to jointly enter the perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem solar cell field. The two parties will establish a joint venture, in which TCL Zhonghuan New Energy will hold 55% equity through monetary contribution, thereby officially entering the new track of space energy with a market size reaching the trillion-level.

According to the agreement, the two parties will leverage their in-depth cooperation with Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to jointly develop perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem solar cell technology for space application scenarios, covering satellites, space stations, and other types of spacecraft. The joint venture will serve as the core implementation vehicle for this project, undertaking the entire chain of work from technology R&D and pilot verification to subsequent industrialisation promotion, accelerating the commercialisation of space PV products.
