Ms. Sangeetha Suresh, Partner(Dubai) at EUPD Research, discussed the current challenges and opportunities in the Australian solar market with all attendees. She highlighted the rapid growth of Australia's photovoltaic industry over the past few years, with cumulative installed capacity increasing from 11.3 GW in 2018 to over 34 GW by the end of 2023, and an average annual addition of approximately 4.7 GW, indicating significant development potential for the industry.
At the event, Dr. Jiang Yajie, the Senior Lecturer and Project Manager at the University of New South Wales, presented to the audience the research collaboration between DAS Solar and the University of New South Wales. With the University of New South Wales' Martin Green's team, DAS Solar has been working on developing highly efficient solar cells with over 40% efficiency since May 2023. Through a synergistic partnership leveraging mutual strengths and sharing results, this collaboration has significantly advanced photovoltaic technology over the years.
Charlie McGlinchey, the Senior Business Development Manager at DAS Solar, represented the company in presenting its development and vision to the audience. As a leader in N-type technology, DAS Solar is committed to the innovation of product technology and the enhancement of product efficiency, contributing to global sustainable green development. Mr. Charlie highlighted that DAS Solar has achieved a breakthrough in large-area cell efficiency (334cm²) of 26.36% and an open-circuit voltage of 742mV. Leveraging its superior technological advantages, DAS Solar's shipment volume consistently ranks among the Top 10 globally, earning numerous industry certifications.
At the final certification ceremony, in recognition of DAS Solar's active role in advancing the development of the solar energy industry, Ms. Sangeetha Suresh, representing Joint Force for Solar, awarded DAS Solar the “Solar Champion 2024” at the final certification ceremony. It emphasizes DAS Solar's innovative research and development capabilities, outstanding technical strength, and formidable brand influence to be recognized by Joint Forces for Solar as the Solar Champion Brand.
The newly launched DAS Black series for the Australian market delivers a dual-drive of aesthetics and performance, delivering M10 battery technology, rectangular silicon wafers, and 54 cells to produce 22.8% conversion efficiency and 465W of power. In addition to improving elasticity, the double glass structure also reduces weight, facilitating easier transportation and installation, making it a great choice for rooftop applications. The DAS Black's all-black design achieves an aesthetic effect of “invisibility,” while innovative coating technology and colorless coating glass ensure the module's beauty and durability. As a result of the modules' perfect integration into buildings' surfaces during installation and subsequent application, they meet the local market's demands on appearance and performance.
DAS Solar is committed to further deepening its industry-academia-research collaboration with Martin Green's team to drive the development and application of photovoltaic technology to new era, contributing significantly to global green energy advancement. As a key step in the company's global strategy, the establishment of the DAS Solar Australian subsidiary strengthens the company's competitiveness in the Australian market. With localized operations, DAS Solar will offer global customers a reliable assurance of long-term optimal value through understanding and meeting the specific needs of Australian customers.
