DAS Solar has hosted a new product launch and ‘customer day’ in Tokyo, showcasing its latest lightweight modules, designed specifically for the Japanese market. The event saw the participation of key industry leaders, including DAS Solar Chairman and President Yong Liu, Denkosha President Mr. Nakajima, and Seika Corporation CEO Mr. Sakurai.
With Japan’s land resources relatively limited, the rooftop market has become an increasingly popular sector for investment. During the event, Mr. Ishihara, Director of Denkosha’s Sales Department, introduced the “flexible solar G+” initiative, designed to offer solar solutions for rooftops with weight or shape constraints. Denkosha develops specialized installation methods for these unique structures, dedicated to promoting safe and reliable systems lasting over 20 years. Mr. Takahashi, Head of Seika Corporation’s Sales Department, praised DAS Solar’s lightweight framed modules, tailored for customers with limited load capacity. Already being installed in commercial projects, these modules are seen as a key solution for energy saving and emission reduction, contributing to Japan’s decarbonization goals.
In that context, DAS Solar’s new lightweight modules drew considerable attention from attendees. As Japan continues to prioritize rooftop solar projects to meet its carbon-neutral goals by 2050, the demand for lightweight, efficient modules is on the rise. DAS’ lightweight series addresses these market needs by offering modules that are over 50% lighter than traditional models, making them ideal for rooftops with limited load-bearing capacity.
In addition, the company has introduced a new 54-cell lightweight half-cell module weighing only 4.2kg/㎡, reducing the weight by over 70%. This design allows for one-person handling, making it highly efficient for rooftop installations. With a product warranty of 12 years and a power warranty of 25 years, the module offers a reliable, long-term solution for Japanese customers.
The Japanese market holds significant importance for DAS Solar. As part of its global expansion strategy, Japan was one of the first countries where the company established a local presence. By setting up a subsidiary and tailoring products to the domestic market, the company has created a comprehensive localized sales and service network to provide timely support in terms of products, technology and logistics. DAS Solar will continue to strengthen its presence in the Japanese market with a customer-centric approach, partnering with local players like Denkosha and Seika to offer more energy options and transform the domestic energy landscape.
