Quzhou, Jan. 27, 2025 - DAS Solar, a leader in N-type PV technology, welcomed Professor Gérard Creuzet, a member of the French Academy of Engineering, Chairman of the Institut Photovoltaïque d'Île-de-France (IPVF), a prominent physicist,and a winner of the Chinese Government Friendship Award, to its headquarter in Quzhou for an in-depth technical exchange on the development and cooperation of new PV technologies. The delegation included Pere Roca, Scientific Director of IPVF; Dr. Grégory Marque, IPVF Programs Director; Dr. Lars Oberbeck, IPVF Principal Investigator; and Professor Damien Fabrègue, Vice President of INSA Lyon, among other experts and scholars.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yong Liu, Chairman and President of DAS Solar; Dr. Dengyuan Song, CTO of DAS Solar; Mr. Jun Ma, General Manager of the Module Manufacturing Center; Mr. Kangping Zhang, Senior Director of the R&D Center; Ms. Maggie Fang, Senior Director of DAS Solar; Hilary, senior analyst from the Strategic Investment Department; and others also accompanied the visit and participated in the exchanges.

The delegation toured DAS Solar's outdoor testing base for new module technologies, smart production workshops, the Advanced Technology and Product Display Center, and the DAS Solar Central Research Institute. During the visit, Chairman Mr. Yong Liu provided an overview of DAS Solar's technological innovations, emphasizing that the company has maintained substantial R&D investment over the years, leading the industry in the iteration of N-type TOPCon technology, and repeatedly setting world records for cell efficiency. The current average mass production efficiency of the company's TOPCon 4.0 Plus cell is 26.7%, and the efficiency of its laboratory DBC cells exceeds 27%. Additionally, DAS Solar has employed TOPCon as a platform to support the development of ultra-high-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem TSiP cells and silicon-based SFOS cells. The company is fully expanding the “PV+” applications with two core products, N-type and lightweight modules, as well as three series of all-scenario PV system solutions—ECO PV, Urban PV, and Floating PV. Meanwhile, the company ranked TOP8 for global module shipments in 2024.

During the meeting, Liu introduced DAS Solar's strong commitment to international collaboration. The company has established deep partnerships with renowned research institutions and testing organizations, including the University of New South Wales in Australia, the Singapore Solar Research Institute, TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Nord, and TÜV SÜD. As a prestigious PV research institute in Europe, IPVF will play a significant role in facilitating comprehensive cooperation with DAS Solar in the field of advanced PV technologies. Song elaborated on the company's technological roadmap, focusing on key research areas and achievements in high-efficiency cell technologies, new module technologies, and solar application solutions. The two parties engaged in in-depth discussions about potential future research collaboration.

The IPVF delegation expressed its admiration for the achievements DAS Solar has made in just over six years since its establishment. Professor Creuzet noted that IPVF is dedicated to accelerating the global low-carbon economy transformation through world-class PV technology R&D. He acknowledged DAS Solar's profound accumulation in the research and industrialization of new solar technologies and expressed hopes for future cooperation in both parties' areas of strength. This collaboration aims to drive the development of new technologies, accelerate the industrialization of more efficient products, and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.
