Cando has long been proactively positioning itself in the space energy sector, with its R&D efforts closely aligned with Shanghai’s strategic direction for future industries. In March this year, Cando unveiled a groundbreaking innovation in the United States—Solar Cloth, a lightweight, rollable silicon-based flexible space photovoltaic product that reduces weight by a factor of ten and boasts a winding lifespan exceeding 10,000 cycles. This breakthrough can cut satellite solar array costs by approximately 90% and lower overall satellite expenses by about 30%, offering a new, lightweight energy solution for commercial space applications. Forbes hailed it as “a disruptive innovation that brings solar energy into everyday life.”
By deeply cultivating the heterojunction and lightweight photovoltaic sectors, the company has established a robust intellectual property moat, centered on its Firm-light® modules, Sun Cloth Two core technology platforms have enabled a multi-dimensional patent portfolio. In total, the company has filed over 170 global patents in China, the United States, Japan, and other regions. Strengthen technological barriers.
On the aerospace front, the first batch of products from the Sun布 series has been delivered. , the technological value has been recognized by international industry media. On the ground side, the Firm-light® series—designed to reduce weight and enhance efficiency—has been fully implemented. , covering diverse applications such as commercial and industrial buildings and architectural shading, thereby establishing a product portfolio that embodies “sky–ground synergy.”
Leveraging Shanghai’s position as a cutting-edge industrial hub, Cando has completed its strategic layout for Shanghai Xingshu Cloud Energy in the first half of this year. Looking ahead, the company will be rooted in Shanghai, forging close ties with local research and industrial resources, and relentlessly advancing the iterative development of high-efficiency heterojunction and space‑based photovoltaic technologies, thereby helping Shanghai secure a leading position in the next‑generation photovoltaic and aerospace energy sectors.
Cando Solar is an advanced photovoltaic company, founded by the world-leading engineers and solar veterans from Trina Solar，ST Micro and TSMC.
