The solar offer is very broad, what are
your strengths in the face of competition?
R. B.: For several years now, the PV in-
dustry has been changing radically. The
European PV manufacturers who are still
in activity should be recognized and supported. In an unprecedented move, China
took over the lead in production and,
to some extent, in the development of
conventional PV technology. For us, the
only way to be successful when starting
a new PV company was to be disruptive
and bring a real innovation to the market.
The DAS Energy PV modules show capabilities that no conventional module can
match. Our PV modules address specific
needs, in specific applications. We cannot
really call it a niche, as the markets that it
represents are very large, but we are offer-
ing new solutions, exactly where the solutions of our competition fall short.
Are you planning to expand your product
range?
R. B.: Yes, our R&D department is working flat out on improving the current products and bringing new solutions to life. At
this stage, we cannot disclose any information, but you will see new solutions based
on DAS Energy modules coming to the
market soon.
Have you planned new investments?
R. B.: Our permanent effort in R&D also
requires a permanent investment.
nies, we must protect our technology. We
were granted a patent on this technology in April 2016, but that is not the end
of the effort. As part of the PV industry,
we have to follow the constant effort to
drive the costs down. Though, as said before, we stay committed to our customers
in the very high quality of our products.
Therefore, any change in the composition or construction of our PV modules
can only maintain or improve the quality
of the PV modules. In this perspective,
reducing the cost can only be done by
working closely with our suppliers and
internally on finding new, innovative solutions. ¨

What are your next challenges?
R. B.: Like many technology compa-
Lightweight Photovoltaik module the patented fiberglass-reinforced
polymeric materials guarantees
stability, strength, flexibility, quality
and durability.
