Forbes China has recently released the 2024-2025 list of Forbes China Sustainable Development Industrial Enterprises, recognizing 40 leading enterprises across more than 10 industrial sectors. DAS Solar earned a spot for its outstanding contributions to low-carbon innovation and ESG performance, establishing itself as a benchmark for green transformation in the renewable energy industry.
As the global climate governance landscape evolves and the wave of technological innovation accelerates, low-carbon development has become a strategic trend in global industrial competition and economic transformation. Against this backdrop, DAS Solar has embedded its green DNA into every facet of its development strategy. By leveraging technological innovation as its spearhead and ESG governance as its shield, the company has built a sustainable development model that positions it at the forefront of the energy transition.
Under the guidance of its DASGREEN strategy, DAS Solar has implemented a comprehensive low-carbon operational system spanning the entire production process and product life-cycle. This includes initiatives in green manufacturing, carbon footprint management, and product recycling, enabling sustainable development through green production, green management, green logistics, green packaging, and green recycling of its PV modules.
The company's manufacturing bases in Quzhou, Taizhou, Zhangzhou, and Bengbu have all passed TÜV SÜD's carbon audits and obtained ISO-14064 greenhouse gas verification. Notably, the Quzhou and Zhangzhou facilities have achieved Zero Carbon Factory certification, showcasing the company's capacity for green manufacturing. As of 2024, DAS Solar's shipped modules are estimated to save approximately 21.04 million tons of standard coal annually and reduce CO2 emissions by about 57.96 million tons globally.
DAS Solar is also advancing module recycling technologies, creating efficient and eco-friendly solutions. Its lightweight modules are 100% recyclable, forming a closed-loop from raw material extraction to end-of-life recovery. Moreover, the company has actively contributed to drafting the 2024 China White Paper on PV Recycling and Circular Economy, providing crucial insights into market feasibility and end-of-life reuse strategies, supporting policy formulation and industry development in the circular PV economy.
Beyond its core business in renewable energy, DAS Solar extends the impact of its technological innovation to empower traditional industries in their low-carbon transformation. As a global leader in all-scenario module solutions, the company is driving the integration of solar energy into construction, agriculture, and transportation through its "PV+" applications, promoting sustainable agriculture and forestry and supporting rural revitalization and green development. In the southeastern corner of Hainan Island, a fishery complementary PV project utilizes a dual-purpose model of solar power generation above and fish farming below, maximizing land use efficiency and serving as a model for PV development in Hainan. In the mountainous region of Yunnan, a herbal solar hybrid project integrates green energy with agricultural productivity and ecological conservation, advancing the region's goals for low-carbon and sustainable development.
Looking ahead, driven by the global dual carbon goals and the rise of new quality productivity, DAS Solar will continue to champion green development, reshape the future of the industry through sustainable competitiveness, and contribute its expertise to global climate governance, accelerating the clean transition toward a net-zero future.
