As solar installations continue to grow, the challenge of land use has become a critical factor limiting investment in PV. Amid this challenge, mountain regions, with their unique potential, are emerging as a new driver for high-quality solar development. On this International Mountain Day, DAS Solar invites you to explore sustainable solutions for mountain PV.

With its vast and diverse landscapes, China features significant mountainous terrain. As the global clean energy transition accelerates, the solar industry, a core pillar of China's renewable energy ambitions, faces mounting pressure from land scarcity. Once deemed unsuitable for development, these mountainous areas are now revealing their immense potential as new frontiers for solar energy, continuing the path toward carbon neutrality.

In response to land constraints, DAS Solar leverages its leadership in all-scenario solutions to address this issue through innovation and strategic planning. By utilizing non-arable lands such as slopes and hills, DAS Solar alleviates land resource shortages while promoting harmonious coexistence between renewable energy and ecosystems. Beneath solar modules, improved soil moisture and organic content create favorable conditions for shade-tolerant plants, offering a model for sustainable economic development and ecological preservation.

Mountain PV present opportunities but also challenges, including complex terrain, construction difficulties, and sensitive ecosystems. DAS Solar has developed innovative solutions to balance economic benefits with ecological sustainability. Its flexible mounting systems offer high clearance, large spans, and robust safety, enabling effective land reuse while preserving original vegetation and biodiversity. These systems play a pivotal role in advancing carbon-neutral goals and embody DAS Solar's commitment to environmental responsibility.

In Yunnan, where mountains cover 90% of the terrain, DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems overcome challenges posed by rugged landscapes. DAS Solar's agrivoltaic model integrates solar energy with agricultural use, enhancing land efficiency and local agricultural structures while boosting economic benefits. In Yichuan, Shaanxi, located in a hilly plateau region, DAS Solar employs an innovative suspension cable system that spans between rows of apple trees. This design maintains the orchard's ecosystem while ensuring natural sunlight reaches over 70% of the apple trees. Reflective films on the ground enhance light conditions, ensuring fruit quality and stable yields.

The growth of mountain PV is not only a significant step in optimizing China's energy structure but also a valuable contribution to global sustainable energy development. Moving forward, DAS Solar remains committed to innovation, striving to achieve a balance between renewable energy expansion and ecological conservation. By doing so, DAS Solar aims to foster a shared future for human-nature coexistence and drive global progress of carbon neutrality.
