BEIJING, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

JA Solar ("the Company"), a leading manufacturer of high-performance

photovoltaic products, announced that the Thailand's 12.5MW floating power

plant, which utilized its high-efficiency PERC modules, was successfully

connected to the grid. As the first large-scale floating photovoltaic power

plant in Thailand, the completion of the project is of great significance to

the development of local renewable energy.

The plant is constructed on an industrial reservoir, and its generated

electricity is delivered to customer's manufacturing base via underground

cables. The plant will become a solar park opening to the general public and

visitors with a focus on promoting the development of local renewable energy

after entering operation.

Compared with traditional PV power plants, the floating PV power plants are

capable to effectively increase power generation efficiency and prevent

degradation by decreasing the usage of land, boosting the unobstructed sunlight

exposure, and lowering module and cable temperatures. JA Solar's

high-efficiency PERC bifacial double-glass modules have passed rigorous

long-term reliability and environmental adaptability tests by proving its

excellent resistance to PID attenuation, salt corrosion, and wind load.

Additionally, these modules are able to maintain high-efficiency performance

and stable power output, providing a strong guarantee for optimizing the power

generation capacity of the system.

Jin Baofang, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of JA Solar, commented,

"JA Solar will continue to focus on technological innovation and product

quality while meeting the diverse needs of our global customers and promoting

the development of renewable energy on a global scale."
