TCL Zhonghuan has reached a definitive agreement to take majority control of solar manufacturer DAS Solar, according to a report from pv magazine. The transaction is described as one of the most closely watched solar sector consolidation deals of the current year.
The Shenzhen-listed unit of TCL Technology finalized the transaction documents on March 30. This followed a 90-day exclusive negotiation period that began after a framework agreement was signed on January 16.
Under the agreement, TCL Zhonghuan will pay a cash sum of 1.258 billion yuan. This includes 258 million yuan to acquire a portion of existing equity and 1 billion yuan in new capital. The transaction results in TCL Zhonghuan holding 55.56% of the post-investment equity and implies a pre-investment valuation of 800 million yuan. The company will also receive voting rights over an additional stake from the founder and affiliated partnerships.
Upon completion, TCL Zhonghuan will hold 59.14% of DAS Solar and control 66.34% of its voting rights, making it a consolidated subsidiary. The deal has been approved by the acquirer’s board and does not require shareholder approval. Remaining steps include state asset and antitrust approvals.
DAS Solar, founded in 2018, specializes in n-type solar technologies. By the end of 2025, it had built significant production capacity for cells and modules. The company has been active in bidding for projects involving n-type TOPCon and BC modules in recent years.
Financially, DAS Solar reported substantial liabilities and negative net assets as of the end of 2025. The acquisition is seen as a move by TCL Zhonghuan to extend its operations downstream from wafers into cell and module production, enhancing vertical integration. The combination could accelerate the commercialization of back-contact technology.
Industry perspectives on the deal are mixed. Supporters view it as a low-cost acquisition of a strategic asset at a depressed valuation and a sign of broader industry consolidation. Cited risks include near-term earnings pressure from the target’s losses, potential goodwill impairment, and operational integration challenges.
