Driven by its dual carbon goals, China's solar installations continue to surge. With land resources for PV projects becoming increasingly scarce, developments have expanded into versatile scenarios. From vast deserts to floating systems, the innovative "PV+" models not only minimize environmental impact but also enhance air, water, and soil quality, creating more livable spaces while maximizing solar energy's value.

China's 14th Five-Year Plan targets 200 GW of wind and solar installations by 2025, with a total capacity of 455 GW by 2030 in desert areas alone. The National Energy Administration's data reveals that from January to September 2024, China added 160.9 GW of PV capacity, marking a 24.8% year-on-year increase. Meanwhile, the government aims to maintain an annual renewable energy installation growth of over 100 GW, a significant boost for solar installations in the coming year.

Mr. Yong Liu, Chairman of DAS Solar, highlighted the company's leadership in cell efficiency, module power, and R&D strength during an interview. DAS Solar is investing heavily in research to position itself as a comprehensive solution provider across diverse application scenarios. The company has strategically developed three primary solutions: Urban PV, ECO PV, and Floating PV, addressing various demands with tailored solutions.

Agri-PV: Diversified Green Agriculture

Agri-PV seamlessly integrates solar power generation with agricultural production, effectively alleviating the tension between farmland use and renewable energy development, while maximizing land value through multidimensional utilization. This innovative model combines technology, market dynamics, and management strategies, promoting rural employment, and positioning itself at the forefront of modern agricultural development trends.

DAS Solar's agri-PV project in Shaanxi exclusively utilizes its N-type modules featuring advanced TOPCon 4.0 Plus cells with an average mass production efficiency exceeding 26.7%. Additionally, the project employs its large-span, elevated, pre-stressed flexible mounting system. Through optimized layout and reflective film installation, the system ensures over 70% light absorption for apple orchards.

Agri-PV also reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, enhancing farmland ecosystem health. In Shandong, DAS Solar's biological agri-PV project introduces an innovative approach by installing flexible mounting systems above mushroom sheds, orchards, and vegetable gardens, which significantly improves the microclimate conditions within the agricultural park.

Livestock-PV: Dual Economic and Ecological Gains

Livestock-PV solution combines solar energy with animal husbandry, promoting ecological restoration and optimizing land use. By adjusting panel angles, heights, and spacing, DAS Solar ensures optimal light distribution, fostering plant growth while supporting sustainable farming. For instance, the Aba Plateau project transforms traditional grazing methods into a modern, integrated approach that boosts local farmer incomes and fosters green development.

The grasslands beneath panels can enhance water retention and mitigate soil erosion. In the harsh conditions of the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia, DAS Solar contributed to the construction of a 2GW project. This initiative integrates solar power, livestock grazing, and desertification control, significantly improving the local and surrounding ecological environment and climate, paving the way for innovative approaches to desert management.

Fishery Complementary PV: Harnessing the Potential of Water

The innovative fishery complementary PV maximizes water surfaces for solar power and aquaculture, easing land pressures while promoting local economic development.

In Fuyang, Anhui, DAS Solar employs an innovative floating design, supporting the region's transition to a sustainable energy structure.

As the province's first grid-connected central solar project, the 50MW floating project in Fujian utilizes DAS Solar's high-efficiency bifacial modules, thriving in high-humidity and high-temperature water environments. Its dual-coated glass and symmetrical design effectively reduce water vapor permeability, maximizing power generation for end-users. Exceptional features such as crack resistance, PID resistance, and UV aging durability further enhance its performance.

At the 70MW project in Jiangsu, DAS Solar's N-type modules shine. By integrating traditional fishing industries with solar and energy storage technologies, the project embodies the principles of sustainable and eco-friendly development, with aquaculture below and power generation above.

Mountain PV: Exploring Possibilities Across Terrains

In various PV applications, DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems stand out with unique competitive advantages. Their three core strengths—high clearance, large span, and superior safety—address the challenges of traditional mounting structures, such as excessive land use, difficulty in repurposing, and high construction costs.

Situated at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters with rugged terrain in Shanxi, DAS Solar's flexible mounting system adapts perfectly to the sloped landscape, maximizing solar energy absorption and efficiently utilizing idle mountainous land. Similarly, in northwest Jingyang County, the system's north-south tensioned steel cable design allows solar panels to follow the terrain contours, achieving perfect integration with the mountainous topography and delivering both economic and ecological benefits.

In Hainan, DAS Solar constructed a floating project using its innovative flexible mounting system. This installation withstood extreme weather events, including the level-17 typhoon Yagi, showcasing exceptional durability in multi-typhoon regions.

In the Yulin desert project, DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems leverage high-clearance and large-span designs to accommodate undulating terrain, minimizing vegetation disruption and enhancing land utilization.

Having undergone four generations of development, DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems now perfectly adapt to complex terrains. As a differentiated "PV+" solution, they seamlessly integrate with the company's industry-leading N-type and lightweight modules, enabling all-scenario applications across towering mountains, vast farmlands, sprawling grasslands, and boundless waters.

PV + Transportation: Driving Low-Carbon Mobility

The integration of transportation and renewable energy is emerging as a key opportunity for innovation in "PV+" applications. As a major source of carbon emissions, transportation accounts for approximately 10.4% of China's total carbon emissions, with road transport contributing 87% of the sector's emissions. Current policies encourage the strategic deployment of solar systems at transportation hubs along highways and railways to enhance the solar penetration in the transportation sector.

With its large span, high clearance, and wide coverage design, DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems provide tailored solutions for service area slopes, parking lots, and charging stations. The proprietary north-south wind-resistant cable network structure reduces costs while ensuring optimal panel angles, significantly boosting power generation efficiency.

In integrated solar-storage-charging systems, DAS Solar combines flexible mounting systems with N-type and lightweight modules, facilitating seamless collaboration with charging stations. Solar-generated green electricity can directly power vehicles, with surplus energy stored or fed into the grid, stabilizing energy supply and enhancing grid reliability through peak-load shifting.

At the Jinan East Service Area on the Qingyin Expressway, DAS Solar implements a flexible mounting system paired with high-efficiency N-type and lightweight modules to create China's first zero-carbon service area.

Similarly, in Guizhou, the company supplied a 6MW distributed PV project along the Biwei Expressway. With an annual energy output of approximately 5.83 million kWh, this installation represents Guizhou's first wind-solar-storage-charging energy supply service area. It utilizes DAS Solar's N-type modules to maximize underutilized highway resources, overcoming challenges in storage, power generation, and grid integration for highway PV projects.

As DAS Solar continues to innovate and expand its portfolio of "PV+" solutions, the company reaffirms its commitment to driving sustainable development through advanced technologies and tailored strategies. By addressing diverse challenges across terrains, industries, and ecosystems, DAS Solar is not only maximizing the potential of renewable energy but also setting new benchmarks for economic and ecological balance. With each project, the company further strengthens its vision of creating a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for all.
