--Ships 40 MW of Modules to Huainan City China
Project
BEIJING, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JA Solar Holdings
Co., Ltd. (JASO) ("JA Solar"), one of the world's largest solar
products manufacturers, today announced that it supplied modules
for the world's largest floating solar power plant.
The 40 MW floating PV solar system is installed in a former
flooded coal mining region in Huainan City, Anhui province, China. The solar project was connected in
May 2017, and has the capacity to
provide most of the light and air conditioning to a nearby city.The
mono double-glass modules used in the project were all manufactured
by JA Solar.
JA Solar's modules are ideal for this type of project. The
modules have passed long-term reliability and environmental
endurance tests. The excellent anti-PID performance and resistance
against corrosion guarantee performance despite the humidity
inherent in a floating array. Moreover, the 12-year warranty on
materials and workmanship and the 30-year linear power warranty for
the double-glass modules ensure that customers will enjoy a steady
financial return.
Floating PV is an exciting new emerging market, with the
potential for rapid growth. Demand is expanding for floating PV,
especially on islands, because the cost of water surface is
generally lower than the cost of land. In addition, the evaporative
cooling effect of water helps to reduce module temperature,
which promotes module efficiency and prevents
degradation.
JA Solar Chairman and CEO Mr. Baofang
Jin commented: "We are excited by the opportunity to
contribute to such a prominent project. JA will continue its
efforts to develop, innovative and improve product technology,
which will enable us to participate in similar pioneering solar
projects."
