Quzhou, Nov. 5, 2024 - Recently, multiple professional media outlets and authoritative organizations published their Q3 2024 rankings of PV module shipments. Thanks to robust growth and efficient capacity assurance, DAS Solar once again secured a spot in TOP10.
What drives DAS Solar's strength? To begin with, public-private collaboration is essential for strengthening the industry chain and empowering sector development. According to the National Energy Administration, domestic solar installations in China reaches 20.9 GW in September 2024, up 32.4% year-over-year and 26.9% month-over-month. From January to September 2024, cumulative new installations hit 160.9 GW, a 24.8% increase year-over-year. Amid the vast opportunities in Chinese solar market, DAS Solar has seized this growth by adopting a decentralized manufacturing model and establishing multiple smart manufacturing bases, including R&D hubs in Quzhou and Taizhou, the largest PV manufacturing base in Central China at Jingshan, and major manufacturing bases in Changtong and Zhangzhou. This strategic footprint not only reinforces DAS Solar's market position domestically but also enables faster, more efficient service for customers and promotes regional industrial growth, supporting local economies in their green transformation.
With a strong record of reliable product delivery and professional technical support, DAS Solar has signed strategic agreements with major state-owned and central enterprises, securing numerous high-profile N-type projects. Through close partnerships with industry leaders like China Datang Corporation, China Huaneng Group, PowerChina, China Energy Engineering Group, and CGN, DAS Solar has deeply engaged in various national renewable energy projects, such as the 1 GW PV base with Guizhou Energy Group in Guanling. These projects underscore DAS Solar's professional and innovative capabilities, earning widespread market recognition and customer trust for the company.
Meanwhile, DAS Solar is actively pursuing opportunities in overseas markets to drive its global strategy. As the global energy transition accelerates, solar energy has become widely adopted worldwide. InfoLink forecasts that global PV demand will reach 469-533 GW in 2024. Emerging markets, particularly in the Middle East, are rapidly gaining traction with strong government support and large-scale utility projects.
Amid these vast global opportunities and challenges, DAS Solar is moving forward with a proactive global expansion strategy. Last year, the company established a subsidiary in Germany, followed by expansions in key markets like Japan and Australia, building a comprehensive sales network across Europe, APAC, LATAM and Oceania. By creating a localized sales and service framework, DAS Solar provides seamless, full-cycle support to customers across pre-sales, sales, and after-sales stages, further optimizing the customers experience.
In 2024, DAS Solar has also signed strategic agreements with notable international companies, such as Goldbeck Solar GmbH, Energy 3000 Solar GmbH, RAYSTECH, and Sol-Distribution. DAS Solar's N-type modules have been successfully deployed in large-scale projects across Germany, the Netherlands, Greece, and France, receiving excellent customer feedback. Among these, a 74.3 MW floating PV project in France, supplied by DAS Solar, was launched in July on the Les Ilots Blandin Lake, set to become Europe's largest floating PV installation.
Last but not least, DAS Solar is always dedicated to relentless innovation in N-type technology. Projections suggest that global shipments of N-type modules will reach 400 GW in 2024, accounting for over 80% of total market share, with N-type TOPCon modules comprising more than 70%. As an early adopter of N-type TOPCon technology, DAS Solar has consistently pushed the boundaries of efficiency, breaking world records three times within eight months. DAS Solar's TOPCon 4.0 Plus cells now achieve an average mass-production efficiency exceeding 26.7%, with N-type 4.0 modules reaching a maximum output power of 610.15W and a module conversion efficiency of 24.02%.
On its journey to lead N-type technology, DAS Solar has invested heavily in enhancing its lab capabilities, securing certifications such as CNAS laboratory accreditation, TÜV SÜD TMP, TÜV NORD CTF2, and TÜV Rheinland witness laboratory qualifications, while accumulating over 500 authorized patents. DAS Solar has also strategically developed multiple cutting-edge technologies around its advanced TOPCon line, including DBC, SCPC, TSiP, and SFOS, in collaboration with prestigious institutions like the University of New South Wales to push cell efficiency toward the 40% target. Furthermore, DAS Solar aims to become an all-scenario solution provider which covers residential, commercial and utility application scenarios, offering DAS ECO, DAS Urban and DAS Floating solutions tailored for ecological, urban, and water environments.
Driven by a commitment to technological innovation, DAS Solar has built a strong competitive advantage. Through a dual approach to domestic and international markets, the company consistently ranks among the top PV module suppliers. DAS Solar has been included in the BloombergNEF Tier 1 list, gained PV ModuleTech's A-rating for bankability, honored with the EcoVadis Silver Medal for Corporate Social Responsibility, and received the PQP Top Performer award. In the future, DAS Solar will continue to leverage its leadership in N-type technology, enhance core competitiveness, and keep making significant contributions to the global clean transition and carbon neutrality.
