The world's first! Shangrou Ultra Lightweight Flexible Perovskite Production Base Formally Launched, Leading the Industry's New Benchmark

On March 19, 2026, Suzhou Shangrou New Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shangrou") ushered in an important milestone. The world's first 100-megawatt mass production base focusing on ultra-lightweight and high-performance flexible perovskite photovoltaic cells was held in Zhuji, Zhejiang - Shangrou Optoelectronics (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. held its first production line open day event. The day attracted nearly a hundred industry chain partners, industry experts and media representatives to visit the venue. This move not only marks that ultra-lightweight flexible perovskite technology has officially entered the stage of large-scale mass production, but also further consolidates Shangrou's industry-leading position in the field of flexible perovskite with the strength of "world's first".

Hundreds of megawatt mass production base set sail to open up the "last mile" from laboratory to industrialization

The Shangrou New Energy mass production base located in Zhuji, Zhejiang is currently the world's first 100-megawatt production line focusing on ultra-lightweight and high-performance flexible perovskite photovoltaic cells, with a total area of 10,000 square meters and an annual production capacity of 6 million pieces. The base fully realizes intelligent, green and digital production. This launch means that Shangrou has successfully opened up the "last mile" from laboratory research and development to industrial production, achieved the key transformation of scientific research results into real productivity, and set a new benchmark for flexible photovoltaic intelligent manufacturing.

Supported by international authoritative certifications, product strength has won global recognition

The steady advancement of industrialization is inseparable from the support of excellent product quality. The ultra-lightweight flexible perovskite photovoltaic cells independently developed by Shangrou have passed the TÜV SÜD IEC 63163 all-round reliability certification, and have successively obtained many domestic and foreign authoritative certifications such as CNAS, RoHS, REACH, ISO9001, etc. The product performance is firmly in the world's leading level, effectively dispelling the market's concerns about the stability and reliability of flexible perovskite technology. At the same time, this product also won the 2026 German iF Product Design Award for its excellent design and technological innovation, further confirming Shangrou's comprehensive advantages in product strength - not only technological leadership, but also both aesthetic and practical value.

Top R&D system support, industry-university-research integration to build a technological moat

Behind the leading product strength is the top R&D system built by Shangrou and the innovative ecosystem that integrates industry, academia and research. Shangrou was founded by Academician Li Yongfang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. Chen Yujin, a leading talent in Suzhou, and his team, bringing together the industry's top R&D forces. In order to ensure the continuous iteration of technology, the company has simultaneously established a high-precision laboratory and an AM1.5 ground-level photovoltaic testing center in the mass production base. It has full-chain R&D capabilities from material synthesis, device preparation to performance testing, providing a solid technical base for product innovation.

At the same time, Shangrou further deepens the collaboration between industry, academia and research, and jointly builds the "Soochow University-Shangrou Photovoltaic Innovation Research Institute" with Soochow University to achieve the sharing of technical resources, rapid transformation of innovation results, and continue to build and consolidate a technological moat. Relying on its solid R&D strength and innovation mechanism, Shangrou has been selected as a national high-tech enterprise, a double unicorn enterprise in Jiangsu Province and Suzhou City, and has undertaken a number of national, provincial and municipal science and technology projects, and continues to receive high recognition and support from the government, industry and capital market.
