Cando made its debut at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, unlocking a new track for lightweight photovoltaics in Europe.


Release time:

Jun 30,2026

From June 23 to 25, Intersolar Europe 2026, the world’s largest and most influential event in the solar and energy storage industries, officially opened in Munich, Germany. Leveraging its strong foothold in Europe… REPowerEU Policy-driven benefits of the energy transition: distributed photovoltaics, retrofitting existing industrial buildings, and building-integrated systems. BIPV With demand surging across the board, lightweight photovoltaic solutions have become the industry’s focal point. Cando brings its self-developed core products. Lightweight rigid components New photovoltaic products for the construction sector made a high‑profile debut, showcasing a lightweight, end‑to‑end PV solution tailored to diverse European applications and bringing China’s cutting‑edge lightweight PV technology to the global market.


 

Cando Leveraging its attributes of “lightweight, safety, low cost, and all‑scene compatibility,” Cando has attracted international clients to engage in in-depth discussions. Focusing on scenarios such as the renovation of old factory buildings, low‑load roofs, shading for building curtain walls, mobile housing, and carports, Cando provides one‑on‑one presentations on product technical specifications, international certifications, on‑site construction plans, and full‑cycle power generation returns, thereby accelerating the global rollout of Cando’s lightweight photovoltaic products.


 

Light‑steel components: the optimal solution for retrofitting existing low‑load‑capacity industrial buildings. As the world’s first lightweight, rigid module to achieve TÜV Rheinland’s AAA‑level certification, the Light‑Rigid Module strikes an ideal balance between weight reduction and structural safety, addressing a key industry challenge: the inability of many aging color‑steel‑roofed factories and light‑steel‑frame warehouses in Europe to accommodate conventional glass‑based modules.

Extreme weight reduction: Compared with conventional modules, it achieves a weight reduction of more than 50%, significantly lowering the unit roof load and eliminating the need for roof reinforcement or retrofitting, thereby substantially reducing initial civil‑engineering costs.

High security and reliability: Ultra-thin tempered glass + Patent‑pending composite material encapsulation architecture, rigorously tested to withstand Category 15 typhoons, hail, salt spray, and ammonia exposure; subjected to 400,000 vibration cycles with no hidden cracks, and compatible with a wide range of European climate zones.

Minimalist construction: Punch-free, non-destructive installation that preserves roof waterproofing, significantly reducing BOS costs.

High-Efficiency Returns: Full-screen module with dust‑proof protection on all four sides, delivering an overall performance boost of 5–10%.



 

Independently develop new building-integrated photovoltaic products, Extend and diversify product offerings to create more adaptable photovoltaic power generation solutions.

Ultra-light and rollable: With a basis weight as low as 300–900 g/m², it is flexible, easy to cut, and rollable, making it ideal for curved roofs, building facades, and window shading.

All-in-one functionality: Photovoltaic power generation, combined with shading and thermal insulation, along with UV‑blocking properties, effectively reduces building HVAC energy consumption and helps structures achieve LEED and green building certifications.

Full-scene coverage: It can be used for residential balconies, commercial building curtain walls, outdoor shading canopies, recreational vehicles and boats, as well as agricultural shade structures, enabling buildings to achieve “invisible power generation.”

 

Embracing the global energy transition through lightweight technologies. Europe is accelerating the implementation of its 2030 renewable energy targets. The vast existing building stock, lightweight roofing systems, and urban green buildings together hold a trillion-dollar photovoltaic market; however, traditional modules are constrained by load-bearing capacity, design aesthetics, and cost, limiting their widespread adoption. Cando has deeply cultivated the lightweight photovoltaic sector, leveraging its R&D and manufacturing base in Changzhou to build a comprehensive lightweight product portfolio. Unlike the industry’s single-product approach, Cando offers customers an end-to-end solution that combines rooftop centralized power generation with building‑facade distributed generation, addressing the full spectrum of needs across commercial and industrial applications, residential use, BIPV, and specialized mobile scenarios. Cando will continue to deliver innovative lightweight photovoltaic technologies, working hand in hand with global partners to provide highly adaptable, high‑return, and high‑safety Chinese PV solutions for the global energy transition.
