From two-busbar modules to multi-busbar designs, from compact formats to large-format modules, the European market has borne witness to the evolution of the PV industry. According to data released by SolarPower Europe, the continent is expected to add approximately 65.5 GW of new PV capacity in 2024, continuing a trend of steady growth. As one of the earliest and most mature solar markets in the world, Europe has long been a strategic stronghold for solar companies expanding overseas. For DAS Solar, the establishment of the German subsidiary marked a pivotal step in opening the door to this vital market and accelerating its global footprint.
A Floating Symphony in France
On the tranquil waters of Les Ilots Blandin Lake in France, the skies reflect perfectly off the crystal-clear surface. Amid this breathtaking scenery, DAS Solar's high-efficiency N-type bifacial modules shimmer like floating sapphires.
Jointly developed with Q ENERGY France, the 74.3 MW project will become the largest floating solar power plant in Europe upon completion. Capable of supplying clean energy to approximately 37,000 residents, the system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by around 18,000 tons annually—an outstanding example of blue waters meeting green energy.
As the scope of "PV+" applications continues to expand, DAS Solar's N-type modules have demonstrated exceptional versatility, from vast plains and desert to reservoirs and lakes. Their ability to adapt and perform across diverse environments is redefining the boundaries of solar deployment. Natural cooling from the lake helps lower module surface temperatures, allowing sunlight absorbed by the modules to be converted into electricity more efficiently. With their high bifaciality, these N-type modules not only capture direct sunlight from the front but also harvest reflected light from the water's surface, delivering significant rear-side power gains.
A Green Revival in the Hills of Greece
Amid global efforts toward sustainable development and green energy transitions, Greece has emerged as a leader in the European renewable energy landscape. With its unique geographical advantages and forward-looking energy strategies, Greece boasts the highest share of PV power generation in Europe. Once the cradle of ancient civilization, the country now embraces the dawn of a new energy era.
In early 2024, DAS Solar's N-type rectangular modules made their debut in Greece, powering a PV plant co-developed with Smartsun. Designed with optimized dimensions and built on cutting-edge technology, these modules offer significant benefits in efficiency, power output, manufacturing, logistics, and system compatibility, delivering significant cost reductions in BOS and LCOE while maximizing long-term, stable energy output.
DAS Solar continues to honor its green commitment across the product life-cycle from raw materials and production to logistics and energy consumption, achieving ECS carbon footprint certification thanks to outstanding low-carbon performance. Furthermore, the company passed third-party STS transparent supply chain audits and excelled in traceability system assessments. These efforts earned DAS Solar the title of “Top PV Brand in Greece” from EUPD Research, further cementing its strong reputation and growing influence in the local market.
A Low-carbon Lifestyle in the Netherlands
In the vast, picturesque countryside of the Netherlands, windmills spin slowly and tulips bloom like constellations. Now, rows of solar panels shine across the farmland, seamlessly blending high-tech innovation with rural tranquility. These distributed solar installations not only meet local farmers' electricity needs but also feed excess power into the grid, contributing to national energy supply and creating new revenue streams for rural households.
As the gateway to European trade, the Netherlands serves as a strategic hub for DAS Solar's operations. Supported by a local warehouse in Rotterdam, the company’s presence in the region has grown steadily. In partnership with Xperal, DAS Solar completed its first grid-connected project in the Netherlands: the Zonneweide Kempenbroek solar farm in Limburg Province. With a total capacity of 2.14 MW, the plant will generate around 2,000,000 kWh annually, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 500 households.
Entirely powered by N-type modules, the project showcases the advantages of DAS Solar's industry-leading technology—high efficiency, high power output, low degradation, excellent bifaciality, low temperature coefficient, and strong low-light performance, ensuring long-term, stable, and reliable operation.
A Fusion of Innovation and Industrial Heritage in Germany
Germany, a powerhouse of global industry, is renowned for its precision, quality, and relentless innovation. As one of the world's earliest adopters of solar energy and the largest solar market in the EU, Germany has played a pioneering role in the green transition.
Amid growing concerns about climate change and pollution, the urgency of transitioning from traditional to renewable energy has never been clearer. In Herzogenaurach, an industrial town famous for world-class manufacturers, DAS Solar partnered with JEKUSOL GmbH to install a commercial rooftop PV system for the Schaeffler Group headquarters.
Given the structural load limitations of the office building, the project used lightweight N-type single-glass modules, which met the weight requirements while fully satisfying the facility's energy needs. The installation significantly reduced the site's dependence on conventional energy, cutting emissions and lowering electricity costs while improving both economic and environmental performance. By integrating cutting-edge solar into a traditional industrial setting, the project exemplifies how innovation can coexist with heritage to deliver meaningful impact.
From Europe to the World
As a key part of DAS Solar's global strategy, Europe has served as a launchpad for broader international expansion. Backed by robust technology, top-tier products, and localized sales and service networks, DAS Solar has steadily increased its European market share while extending its reach into Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Today, solar energy are illuminating Europe in mountaintops and lakes, fields and cities alike. DAS Solar remains committed to delivering efficient, reliable, and clean energy solutions to customers worldwide, contributing to a net-zero future and lighting up every corner of the globe with the brilliance of green energy.
