What the company page reports
BOE's perovskite photovoltaics page lists rigid pilot-module efficiency of 24.3% for a 300 × 300 mm format and flexible pilot-module efficiency of 21.39% at the same stated size. It separately lists a batch yield rate above 95% as part of its industrialization information.
These are company-published figures and should be attributed to BOE. The public page does not provide enough detail to treat the yield figure as a guaranteed rate for every line, period or module design, nor to assume the efficiency and yield figures describe one identical batch.
Why module area and format matter
A cell result, a pilot module and a commercial module are not interchangeable. Aperture area, active area, stabilization procedure, measurement laboratory, module construction and production stage all affect how an efficiency number should be interpreted.
Rigid and flexible formats also face different mechanical and packaging requirements. Comparisons should therefore keep the stated form factor and dimensions visible instead of ranking technologies from an unqualified percentage alone.
Pilot data is not yet a production guarantee
Pilot-line data can show that a process has moved beyond a small laboratory device, but commercial readiness also requires repeatability across lots, a defined yield denominator, control of material variation and reliability evidence on finished modules.
The company's page labels the data as 2026 information, but does not state a dated independent test report for each value. This article therefore reports the figures as BOE-published and avoids converting them into an industry benchmark.
A practical buyer checklist
Ask for the exact module model, dimensions, test report, efficiency definition, sample count and production stage. For yield, ask how acceptable units are counted, over what time window and at which inspection gate.
For project use, add the warranty scope, degradation evidence, safety qualification and applicable installation conditions. These details determine whether a pilot announcement can inform procurement or remains an R&D milestone.
What would strengthen the next update
A dated independent certificate, a clearly defined module area and transparent production-yield methodology would allow more precise comparisons. Until then, the safe reading is that BOE reports promising pilot metrics—not that all perovskite lines have reached the same level.
Frequently asked questions
What rigid pilot-module efficiency does BOE list?
BOE lists 24.3% for a rigid 300 × 300 mm pilot module on its perovskite photovoltaics page, which labels its product data as of 2026. The value should be attributed to BOE and read with its stated format.
Is the reported batch yield the same thing as module efficiency?
No. Efficiency describes conversion performance under a measurement definition; batch yield describes the share of units meeting a production criterion. BOE lists these as separate metrics, and its public page does not fully specify the yield denominator or time window.
Can these pilot figures be applied to a commercial project?
Not without the model-specific datasheet, independent test and safety records, warranty scope, production status and project conditions. Pilot figures are not a substitute for a delivered-product specification.
