Yanhe Technology was invited to attend the 2026 Space Computing Industry Conference, held in Beijing under the theme “Boundless Computing, Integrated Space-Earth Synergy.”
The event was jointly hosted by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, and China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, bringing together representatives from government, industry, academia, and research institutions.
Peng Zongyang, Co-founder and CTO of Yanhe Tech, participated as a key guest in the roundtable discussion on “Technological Breakthroughs and Commercialization Pathways for Space Computing,” sharing insights from the perspective of space photovoltaic energy.
During the discussion, Dr. Peng noted that the space computing industry is approaching a critical inflection point, fundamentally driven by cost reduction across launch and satellite manufacturing. As the industry scales, energy systems—particularly space photovoltaics—are expected to undergo structural transformation, moving beyond reliance on traditional high-cost solutions.
He highlighted that conventional space photovoltaics, primarily based on triple-junction gallium arsenide, offer high efficiency and long lifetimes but face challenges in cost and scalability. With the rapid expansion of satellite constellations, industry priorities are shifting toward balanced solutions that optimize efficiency, cost, and weight.
In this context, crystalline silicon and silicon–perovskite tandem technologies are emerging as promising alternatives, leveraging mature terrestrial supply chains and offering significant advantages in cost and power-to-weight performance. Perovskite photovoltaics, with their flexibility, lightweight properties, and high theoretical efficiency, are particularly well-suited to meet the evolving demands of space computing infrastructure.
Yanhe Tech’s participation reflects its growing role in China’s space computing ecosystem. The company has previously partnered with Comospace to establish a joint laboratory for space computing and energy, advancing the integration of next-generation photovoltaics with space-based computing systems.
Looking ahead, Yanhe Tech will continue to advance aerospace-grade perovskite technologies, focusing on stability, radiation resistance, and in-orbit validation, to deliver low-cost, high-efficiency, and lightweight energy solutions for the future of space computing.
