China is increasing its market share in patents related to lightweight, bendable and low-cost "perovskite solar cells". The number of applications in 2021 was 70, nearly four times that of Japan. However, over the past 20 years, Japan has remained at the top of the list.
Perovskite-type solar cells can be fabricated by coating materials similar to coatings. It is estimated that the manufacturing cost is only half that of the traditional "silicon type" made by making silicon crystals grow, and the weight can be reduced to one-tenth. Because it is lightweight and bendable, it will expand the power generation site and create a new market if it is installed on the walls and roofs of buildings and other buildings that were previously difficult to install. It is expected to become widespread in the late 2020s.
China has made great strides in the field of perovskite solar cells, with 70 patent applications in 2021, nearly four times that of Japan. Lightweight, bendable and low-cost, the new solar cells are expected to be manufactured at half the cost of traditional silicon-based solar cells, and can be reduced to one-tenth of their weight. The application of perovskite-type solar cells will bring huge market potential, especially in buildings and other places where it is difficult to install traditional solar cells, such as walls and roofs, which can create new markets.
The increasing number of patent applications in the field of perovskite solar cells in China reflects the importance and development of China in the field of renewable energy. As China** increases its support for renewable energy and the society's demand for environmental protection and sustainable development increases, China's innovation and development in the field of renewable energy will be more rapid.
As a new type of solar cell, perovskite solar cells have broad application prospects due to their simple manufacturing process, low cost, light and bendable characteristics. With the continuous progress of technology and the increasing market demand, the application of perovskite solar cells will become more and more extensive.
It is expected that in the near future, perovskite solar cells will become an important renewable energy source, providing cleaner and more sustainable energy for people's lives and work**. At the same time, the increasing number of patent applications in the field of perovskite solar cells in China will also bring more opportunities and development space for China's renewable energy industry.
