Perovskite solar cells, as a representative of third-generation photovoltaic technology, are becoming a global research and industrialization hotspot in the new energy sector due to their outstanding optoelectronic performance potential, low manufacturing cost, and process flexibility.

 However, the journey from high-efficiency laboratory devices to stable, large-scale production is fraught with core industrialization challenges such as process scale-up, uniformity control, yield improvement, and long-term stability. Leveraging its deep technical expertise in precision slot-die coating, MANST has constructed a perovskite pilot platform covering the 1200mm×600mm scale, aiming to provide the industry with a systematic, verifiable, and replicable cutting-edge industrialization solution.

I. Full-Process Coverage, Simulating Real Production Line Environments

The MANST pilot platform is not merely an assemblage of individual pieces of equipment. It is a complete and coherent process equipment system built around the core philosophy of "Integrated R&D and Production, Independent and Controllable." The platform strictly follows the core fabrication steps of perovskite solar cells, integrating key equipment for the entire process flow, including magnetron sputtering coating, precision slot-die coating, VCD vacuum drying, annealing furnace crystallization, vacuum evaporation, laser scribing, atomic layer deposition, and encapsulation.

Currently, the platform has established full-chain service capabilities spanning laboratory R&D, pilot-scale verification, and GW-level production line planning. It not only provides customized products but also delivers systematic solutions, precisely assisting customers in successfully bridging the industrialization gap from sample to mass production.

II. Independent R&D as the Core, Overcoming Key Technical Bottlenecks

The core competitiveness of the MANST pilot platform is rooted in its deep independent R&D and integration capabilities, particularly in addressing key pain points of industrialization.

The platform's capabilities are built upon a rigorous "Process-Inspection-Optimization" R&D closed-loop. By integrating advanced inspection equipment such as profilometers, white light interferometers, EQE testers, PL spectrometers, and solar simulators, the platform enables multi-dimensional rapid analysis and feedback for each process iteration. This lays a crucial foundation for enhancing process stability, product yield, and achieving scaled manufacturing.

Looking ahead to mass production, the platform's technology has been prospectively extended to production-scale dimensions. In terms of coating width, MANST's independently developed GW-level slot-die coating flat-panel system has achieved the widest coating width among domestic coating equipment manufacturers—2.4 meters, enabling module sizes up to 2.88 square meters, with a maximum processing length of 4000mm. This GW-level system features fast coating cycle time, minimal edge exclusion, strong controllability over nano-scale large-area coating thickness, and film thickness uniformity ≤5%, which will significantly assist customers in improving cell (module) conversion efficiency.

Deep coupling of equipment and process is a key feature. Critical equipment on the platform, such as magnetron sputtering, ALD, and evaporation systems, all emphasize process flexibility and controllability. For example, magnetron sputtering equipment employs a public/self-rotation adjustable-speed turntable, achieving coating uniformity ≤±5%; horizontal evaporation equipment utilizes a modular chamber design and high-precision evaporation source configuration, allowing for customizable production cycle times.

III. Full-Chain Service Capabilities and Collaborative R&D Innovation Ecosystem

The platform is supported by a powerful industry-academia-research collaborative innovation network. MANST emphasizes deep integration with cutting-edge scientific research capabilities. It has jointly established a Perovskite Joint Laboratory with the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and maintains close university-industry cooperation with institutions like Shenzhen University of Technology. The R&D team constitutes 40% of the workforce. Within one year of establishment, the team has secured authorization for over ten invention patents and continues to make breakthroughs in key areas such as rigid/flexible large-area perovskite coating, silicon/perovskite tandem solar cells, and perovskite cell encapsulation technology. These achievements will directly provide robust technical support and implementable process verification solutions for platform operations.

The "University-Industry Collaboration" model strengthens MANST's capacity for sourcing frontier technologies, enabling the platform to closely track academic advances and rapidly guide the latest research findings towards engineering validation. On this solid foundation, MANST's industrialization drive has taken substantial strides. Its independently developed GW-level slot-die coating flat-panel system has been successfully delivered to leading domestic customers. The coating product portfolio comprehensively covers needs from laboratory, pilot-scale to GW-level mass production, with actual delivery records for corresponding sizes across different technology routes like single-junction and tandem cells, accumulating valuable industrialization experience for the domestic substitution of coating equipment. Currently, the platform has formed full-chain service capabilities and can output systematic solutions, precisely helping customers successfully overcome the industrialization bottleneck from sample to mass production.

The industrialization of perovskite solar cells is a systematic engineering endeavor involving multiple dimensions such as materials, processes, and equipment. In the future, as the pace of perovskite industrialization continues to accelerate, the MANST pilot platform will persistently serve as an "Innovation Bridge." By accelerating the translation of laboratory achievements through an open pilot environment and collaborating with industry chain partners to refine superior, efficient, and environmentally friendly mass-production solutions, it will explore even broader prospects for photovoltaics.
