While cementing the foundation of technology, DSM is actively engaged in the healthcare, nutrition and material fields all over the world. Mr. Pascal Sain-de, Vice President of DSM Advanced Solar, had expressed an opinion that the move to establish strategic cooperation relations with Suntech would greatly push forward its progress in seeking rapid growth in photovoltaic market. DSM upholds the ‘profit’ goal of developing business with high value and strong creative capability through innovative and sustainable solutions, so as to meet the constantly emerging new demands. New materials and new technologies play an important role in promoting innovation in the solar photovoltaic industry. For example, they are conducive to reducing LCOE and expanding the application of clean solar energy. To succeed in this goal, DSM will further intensify its cooperation ties in upstream and downstream of the industry. ‘To my knowledge, Suntech will bring its latest photovoltaic modules using DSM Anti-Soiling coating at the forthcoming SNEC EXPO. DSM Anti-Soiling coating is based on our proprietary core-shell particle technology and optimized to minimize soil dust adhesion and maximize dust removal. The result is a coating with excellent anti-soiling AND anti-reflective properties. DSM Anti-Soiling coating brings direct performance improvements and indirect maintenance savings, boosting the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of solar projects in dry environments.’
Mr. Zhang Wei, Vice President of Suntech, said ‘The cooperation between Suntech and DSM in the past six years has delivered fruitful results in the application of module innovations. In addition to continuously developing high-power and high-reliability products in the photovoltaic industry, we shall also strive to meet customers’ demands for targeted and differentiated innovative modules. Boasting the benefits of soil dust proof and abrasion proof, the modules jointly developed by Suntech and DSM used the innovative technology to stabilize and improve power, which can help increase customer returns. To break new ground in today’s photovoltaic market featuring high product homogeneity, Suntech will seek to achieve optimal value with the optimum ratio of products, and occupy the market and gain reputation with differentiated products, while sticking to customer orientation and making breakthroughs in innovation applications.’
