SHANGHAI, Feb. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar
Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company"), a global
leader in the photovoltaic (PV) industry, today announced
that it supplied 106.4 MWdc of PV modules to sPower, the
largest private owner in the United
States of utility-scale solar operating assets. The Solverde
1 solar farm is located in Lancaster,
California, in the northern LA County.
sPower developed and completed the project within 12
months. This included signing the power purchase agreement (PPA),
completing interconnection, and building and commissioning the
project. To meet this schedule, JinkoSolar delivered over 330,000
of its high-efficiency polycrystalline modules to the project site
in the span of just over two months.
"At JinkoSolar, we are committed to meeting our partners' tight
deadlines," said Nigel Cockroft,
General Manager of JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc. "Being selected by
industry-leading sPower as the module supplier for this unique and
time-sensitive project strengthens our reputation as a highly
dependable module manufacturer."
"Developing a solar farm within 12 short months is a challenging
feat and requires solid cooperation with experienced and capable
partners," said Josh Skogen, SVP of
project development for sPower. "It was important that we select a
module supplier that could manage such an aggressive delivery
schedule. We were confident that Jinko would be a great
partner for the Solverde project, as it has a proven track record
for delivering quality modules on-time."
