DAS Solar Ventures into the New Frontier of Mountain PV Development

2025-01-13

China, with approximately 6.22 million square kilometers of mountainous terrain, holds immense potential for energy development amidst its natural landscapes. While the complexity and diversity of mountain topography present challenges for PV project design and construction, they also open doors to innovation. As land resources for solar development grow increasingly scarce, complex mountainous regions have emerged as a promising new frontier for solar energy growth.

 

As a leading provider of all-scenario PV system solutions, DAS Solar remains committed to technological innovation and R&D investment, tailoring high-reliability, cost-effective, and terrain-adaptive solutions to complex mountain PV scenarios. For challenging terrains like steep slopes and ravines, DAS Solar's next-gen flexible mounting system excels with adaptable terrain fitting and optimized high-density PV array arrangements, maximizing land use efficiency. Compared to traditional systems, DAS Solar's solutions save over 25% of land resources, addressing a critical pain point in mountain PV power stations.

 

In mountainous areas prone to strong winds, DAS Solar's flexible mounting system employs a spatial cable network design with pre-stressed tensioning to minimize the adverse effects of wind-induced vibrations. Wind tunnel tests conducted at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics demonstrated the system's resilience against wind speeds up to 46 m/s (equivalent to level-14 gales), with no signs of torsional instability caused by wind-induced vibrations. Proven in real-world applications, DAS Solar's mounting system withstood the severe conditions of level-17 super typhoon Yagi, showcasing exceptional stability and safety.

 

 

In Shanxi, DAS Solar's flexible mounting system was deployed in the 200 MW project. Situated in the undulating Loess Plateau, the installation faced significant construction challenges due to rugged terrain. DAS Solar provided a custom mountain PV solution using a pre-stressed cable system as the primary load-bearing structure. The design, relying on “suspension, tension, attachment, support, and compression” construction techniques, supported modules in a spatially organized layout. This innovative approach overcame terrain irregularities, increased installation capacity, reduced investment costs, and ensured the project's economic viability.

 

The rapid development of mountain PV projects is injecting fresh vitality into rural revitalization strategies. By overcoming traditional land-use constraints and integrating with local industries, mountain PV not only contributes to regional economic growth but also provides local residents with employment opportunities and stable income sources. Leveraging the high-clearance and long-span features of DAS Solar's flexible mounting systems, mountain PV projects harmoniously integrate with agriculture, herbal medicine, forestry, and other diverse “PV+” models.

 

 

In Yunnan, DAS Solar's flexible mounting system has been implemented in an agrivoltaic project, combining herbal medicine cultivation with solar power generation. This integrated development approach has optimized local agricultural structures, significantly enhanced economic benefits, and improved land utilization efficiency.

 

Across rugged mountain ranges, solar power plants are rising like new beacons of sustainability, breaking traditional land-use barriers and driving rural revitalization. Under dual-carbon goals and rural revitalization strategies, mountain PV is becoming a significant force in the renewable energy sector. Through its all-scenario “PV+” solutions, DAS Solar aims to keep contributing to rural revitalization, energy transition, and the harmonious realization of ecological and economic benefits on the path towards carbon neutrality.
