About us

Yangtze River Delta Solar Photovoltaic Technology Innovation Center (referred to as the Photovoltaic Center)
Yangtze Institute for Solar TechnologyIt is the first technology innovation center in the field of solar photovoltaics in China and a provincial-level technology innovation center in Jiangsu Province, aiming to build four research bases in the field of photovoltaics and its comprehensive applications.
The Photovoltaic Center is led by Dr. Shen Hui, a well-known expert in the photovoltaic industry and professor at Sun Yat sen University. It has introduced internationally recognized leading talents in the field of photovoltaics, such as Dr. Pierre J. Verlinden, a top scientist recognized by the photovoltaic industry and academia, and Dr. Feng Zhiqiang, deputy director of the Key Laboratory of Photovoltaic Science and Technology. The center has formed a team of well-known domestic and foreign experts with industry influence, focusing on cutting-edge solar photovoltaic technology, key common technologies, and photovoltaic application technologies to jointly promote the construction and innovative development of the Photovoltaic Center.
The Photovoltaic Center is currently conducting research on three aspects related to the demand of the entire photovoltaic industry chain, including solar cell and module research, photovoltaic detection and evaluation research, and photovoltaic application research. At the same time, as a platform for industry university research government financial exchange, we explore innovative and entrepreneurial projects, promote the landing of industries, and have successfully established 2 entrepreneurial enterprises and 1 overseas introduced enterprise in the past two years.
