Tokyo, Feb. 20, 2025 - DAS Solar, a leader in N-type PV technology, showcased its innovative lightweight modules for the first time at the renowned Smart Energy Week held in Tokyo, Japan. During the event, the company also presented other key products, including the N-type rectangular modules and DBC modules, attracting widespread attention from attendees and exhibitors alike.

Japan, one of the earliest countries to develop solar energy resources, continues to lead the world in PV development. As one of the world's leading solar energy markets, the country has a projected market value of USD 12.3 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.3%. This growth is driven by government incentives, technological advancements, and increasing demand for renewable energy. According to Reuters, Japan aims to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in the new energy plan, targeting 40-50% power supply from renewables by 2040. The country is also focusing on its goal to achieve carbon neutral by 2050.

Given its limited domestic energy resources, Japan's energy supply structure profoundly impacts its energy stability. As one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources in Japan, solar power has gained attention from investors, business owners, and government officials, as it offers a viable solution to reduce dependency on external energy sources, enhance energy security, and address environmental concerns. At the event, DAS Solar presented its 410W and 500W N-type lightweight modules, 630W N-type rectangular bifacial modules, 515W DAS Black modules, and 470W DBC modules, meeting the Japanese market's demand for high-quality and differentiated modules. With limited land availability, rooftop solar has become the dominant choice for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Addressing the challenge of rooftop load-bearing capacity, DAS Solar has developed lightweight framed and frameless modules perfectly suitable for diverse applications, which have garnered significant attention upon their release.

The development of the solar industry relies on the relentless pursuit of high-efficiency, high-power products. As a leader in N-type technology, DAS Solar continues to dominate key industry indicators, such as technological leadership and shipment volume. During the event, the company introduced its 500W N-type lightweight 66-cell module, which features the advanced TOPCon 4.0 Plus cell technology. The module's average mass production efficiency has exceeded 26.7%, with an open-circuit voltage of 742mV, setting world records multiple times. Its high efficiency, high power, and low degradation significantly enhance power generation performance. The module utilizes glass-free encapsulation technology, reducing its weight to only 4.7 kg/m², which is more than 50% lighter than conventional modules of the same power. Moreover, it meets IEC snow load requirements of 5400 Pa and wind load requirements of 2400 Pa, and performs excellently in demanding environments. In high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, the module demonstrates excellent reliability, durability, and fire resistance. Its detachable structure also facilitates project maintenance and inspection.

The 410W N-type lightweight 54-cell module features a patented frame design and weighs just 4.2 kg/m², reducing its weight by more than 70% compared to conventional modules of the same power. This lightweight design allows for easy handling by a single person, ensuring efficient installation for rooftop PV projects. DAS Solar's N-type lightweight modules come with a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year power warranty. Their stringent quality standards effectively lower BOS costs and LCOE, ensuring long-term, stable, and efficient energy generation throughout the module's life cycle.

In recent years, DAS Solar has steadily advanced its internationalization process. In 2024, the company's global module shipment ranked No. 8 worldwide, and was listed in BloombergNEF's Tier 1 Module Manufacturer list. As an important base in East Asia, the company established its Japanese subsidiary and, through the development of local sales, logistics, and service networks, has deepened its business expansion in Japan in collaboration with well-known local partners. DAS Solar's modules are now deployed in both residential and commercial projects, contributing to local clean transition. Moving forward, the company will continue to strengthen its sales and service network, leveraging its technological advantages, and building stronger local partnerships to support its global strategy and further expand its footprint while making contributions to a net-zero future for all.A
