DAS Solar, a leader in N-type PV technology, recently joined the Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI), marking a significant step in aligning with global ESG governance standards and building a sustainable value chain.
SSI is a solar-specific sustainability assurance program jointly launched by SolarPower Europe and Solar Energy UK. The initiative aims to build a responsible, transparent, and sustainable solar value chain by combining supply chain integrity with enhanced ESG performance. To date, SSI has garnered the support of over 60 solar companies, covering a substantial portion of the European solar market and the entire industry chain.
In October 2023, SSI officially introduced its ESG standard, establishing a comprehensive set of key indicators to enhance supply chain sustainability. The framework covers environmental impact, human rights, and governance, setting a benchmark for ESG performance in the industry. Through SSI certification, module manufacturers can demonstrate their sustainability achievements throughout the production process, showcasing compliance with international best practices. This certification serves as a powerful signal to key stakeholders—including customers—of a company's steadfast commitment to ESG principles, helping improve operational efficiency and enhance brand credibility.
DAS Solar has consistently demonstrated excellence in ESG practices, actively implementing its DASGREEN initiative. The company is committed to advancing corporate governance, driving technological innovation, promoting green and sustainable development, and fulfilling social responsibilities. By continuously optimizing and strengthening its governance framework, DAS Solar ensures scientific decision-making, effective risk management, and transparent information disclosure, setting industry-leading standards that lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term growth.
In green manufacturing, DAS Solar has made remarkable progress in reducing carbon emissions throughout the entire life-cycle of its products. The company actively incorporates eco-friendly design principles, substitutes hazardous substances, reduces silicon wafer thickness, and improves production techniques and processes. These measures minimize module waste at the source. Additionally, DAS Solar is pioneering advanced recycling technologies for decommissioned modules, utilizing a purely physical dismantling process. The company applies cutting-edge systems such as adaptive frame dismantling, thermal peeling, ultra-fine powder processing, multi-stage component separation, and comprehensive dust removal. This innovative process generates no waste residue, wastewater, or exhaust emissions, while ensuring zero dust pollution.
