SHANGHAI, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), one of the
largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the
world, today unveils its RE100 roadmap by providing detail on its
approach to achieve 100% powered by renewables by 2025.
This roadmap depicts a series of innovative actions to lower
emission caused by its operation, which includes:
- Build new factories in or adjacent renewable-rich regions to
facilitate green electricity source.
- Focus on R&D and commercialization of higher power and
efficiency solar products to reduce power consumption per
watt.
- Accelerate study on new and recycled material alternative, less
material consumption, "lighterize" and "thinnerize" production, for
instance reduce wafer thickness, reduce silver paste consumption
without sacrificing quality and reliability, reduce weight of
bifacial panel by replacing glass with transparent backsheet.
- Optimize process to save energy, for instance to reduce
electricity consumed for wafer production.
- Adopt an integrated and sustainable view of the product
lifecycle, from ideation to commercialization, continuing to
increase the use of recycled materials, innovate in product
recycling. Keep pace with global PVcycle program and learn good practice from
others.
- Embed principles of sustainability in the supply chain, using it to guide decisions ranging from product
design and factory floor configuration to sourcing and
logistics.
- Invest more in onsite solar, solar plus storage projects by
deploying panels in all suitable rooftops of its global dispersed
manufacturing facilities, workshops, warehouse, new and existing
office buildings, employee dormitories, to ensure 50% of the
consumed solar electricity comes from projects that JinkoSolar built.
- JinkoSolar's R&D
centers focus on innovative
silicone solar panel recycling technology, and are now partnering with
universities and institutions at
home and abroad to further develop engineering solutions.
- Identify new ways to lower energy use at our all facilities,
investing in energy efficiency upgrades, energy saving gauges,
smart building technologies, to lower electricity consumption.
- Encourage and reward suppliers by upgrading their grade who use
renewable energy for JinkoSolar
order production.
- Process and material innovations, for example carbon-free
soldering, metallization process through investments and
collaboration with equipment suppliers.
- Invest in planting trees, forests, and other nature-based
solutions in facilities
and communities to remove
carbon from the atmosphere.
- Help to counteract
desertification using desalination powered by solar
energy to improve soil
conditions.
"We're proud of our ambitious roadmap we have set for the coming
ten years," said Dany Qian, vice
president of JinkoSolar. "As the world's largest solar module
manufacturer, it doesn't make sense that we produce
renewable equipment but
not use renewable energy
ourselves. We are well positioned to lead the industry in the
pursuit of giving the next generation a livable planet, an
affordable and sustainable energy solution."
