BEIJING, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- JA Solar Co., Ltd,
a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic
products, announced that it supplied all modules for the largest
PERC bifacial double-glass solar power plant in South Korea. The project will significantly
promote the application of PERC bifacial double-glass modules and
the development of renewable energy in the South Korean market.
In December 2018, JA Solar became
one of the first PV companies to obtain product certification from
Korea Standards Association (KS) for its PERC bifacial double-glass
module. The certification validates that JA Solar's products meet
the national standards in South
Korea, enhancing the company's competitiveness and brand
recognition in the local market. JA Solar's PERC bifacial
double-glass modules can further increase energy yield for the PV
system and effectively drive down LCOE, providing customers in
South Korea who focus on land cost
reductions with more access to high-efficiency solar energy
products.
The project, located in Gangjin Gun, South Korea, includes two 2.4 MW power plants
that were built in two phases. The first phase has been completed
and successfully connected to the grid. The power plants use JA
Solar's bifacial double-glass modules, which incorporate
high-efficiency PERC bifacial cell technology and a double-glass
module structure with a bifaciality factor of 70% and higher. The
JA Solar bifacial double-glass modules have greater power
generation capacity, better low-radiation performance and PID
resistance performance. Additionally, they can be widely used in
harsh environments (such as deserts, seaside, etc.) and under
extreme weather conditions (including high temperature, high
humidity, etc.). TÜV Rheinland, an authoritative testing
institution, has verified that the energy yield of JA Solar's PERC
bifacial double-glass module is 10.5% higher than that of
conventional mono modules, which can effectively guarantee the
reliability of the power plant system and the return on investment
for customers.
Mr. Jin Baofang, President and CEO of JA Solar, said, "The South
Korean market is very interested in high-efficiency solar modules.
To meet our customers' growing demand, JA Solar will continue to
focus on the R&D and production of high-performance PV modules.
Our branch office in South Korea
is also committed to providing excellent service to meet local
customer needs, further expanding our presence, and contributing to
the development of solar industry in the region."
