DAS Solar, Smartsun Complete 82 MW Solar Project in Greece

DAS Solar, a company having expertise in N-type PV technology, and Smartsun, a top Greek company specializing in the design and construction of solar energy projects, have successfully completed solar parks in northern Greece with a total capacity of 82 MW. The projects utilize 136,000 rectangular N-type TOPCon modules from DAS Solar, designed for maximum efficiency and durability in utility solar installations.

With abundant sunlight resources, solar energy now accounts for approximately 18.4% of Greece’s power generation, making it the European country with the highest share of solar energy in its power generation mix. In recent years, Greece has actively promoted PV technology, making solar energy a critical driver in the country’s efforts to accelerate its clean transition. According to research institutions, Greece added 1.59 GW of new PV capacity in 2023 alone, setting a new annual record.

“Powered by DAS Solar’s N-type rectangular modules, the project marks another milestone of the company’s solar expansion. With standardized dimensions, the modules lay a solid foundation for the upstream and downstream collaboration within the supply chain. By virtue of advantages in efficiency, power output, manufacturing, transportation, and production processes, they effectively reduce BOS costs and LCOE, ensuring reliable power generation and stable returns over the entire life-cycle,” the company said in a statement.

Dimitris Nikolaidis, Founder & General Manager of Smartsun emphasized on the timely and impeccable delivery of high-performance, modules, even amidst significant global supply chain challenges. This accomplishment showcases the strength of the partnership between the two parties, demonstrating their ability to overcome obstacles and deliver exceptional results.

George Demenagas, Sales Director of South Balkan of DAS Solar, praises Smartsun’s professionalism and responsiveness throughout all phases. He highlighted the importance of Greece as a focal point for DAS Solar’s expansion into the European market.

“Demenagas also underscores DAS Solar’s pioneering role in N-Type TOPCon technology development. Over the past eight months, the company has set the world record for conversion efficiency of large-area TOPCon cells for three consecutive times. The cell achieves an impressive mass production efficiency of up to 26.6%, and a open-circuit voltage of 742mV. This remarkable achievement indicates DAS Solar’s leadership in technological innovation, as its modules—powered by TOPCon 4.0 Plus solar cells—reach a mass production efficiency of up to 26.55%,” the firm said.
