DAS Solar Continues to Rank Among BNEF's Tier 1 PV Module Manufacturers
DAS Solar has once again secured a spot on BloombergNEF's list of Tier 1 PV module manufacturers for Q1 2025. With its strong technological foundation, exceptional manufacturing capabilities, and robust global market performance, the company has maintained its position for several consecutive quarters, further reinforcing its leading position and strength in the solar industry.
?DAS Solar Showcases Cutting-Edge N-Type Products at Key Energy 2025
DAS Solar displayed a lineup of N-type 4.0 modules, DAS Black modules, and DBC modules at the The Energy Transition Expo in Rimini, Italy, introducing its latest breakthroughs and achievements in solar technology innovation to a global audience.
SolarPower Europe Launches International Solar Manufacturing Initiative
Europe's solar manufacturing sector heavily favours downstream products such as cells and modules, with 75% of European manufacturers involved in their production, so Europe as a whole would benefit from greater investment into the upstream portions of its solar product manufacturing chain, such as polysilicon, ingots and wafers.
This is a key conclusion from SolarPower Europe's 'Solar Production Equipment' report, published this week, which breaks down the state of European solar manufacturing across five stages – from polysilicon to module – to assess the strength of the industry.
India's solar additions could double to 30 GW in fiscal 2025
A new report by SBICAPS projects India's annual solar capacity addition to double to 30 GW?in fiscal 2025 against 15 GW?in fiscal 2024.
The report states the deployment pace will further improve in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027, leading to significant spike in module demand. It projects PV deployment for fiscal 2026 at 42 GW?and for fiscal 2027 at 46 GW, with residential rooftop solar driving expansion.
Annual module demand is forecast to increase from 50-55 GW in fiscal 2025 to 105 GW?in fiscal 2027. [The calculation assumes DC/AC overloading of 1.2-1.4, effective utilization to nameplate capacity ratio of 55% to 65%.]
