JA Solar claims to have won nearly 50% of the module share of the country's first PV "frontrunner" demonstration project

On May 24, JA Solar (NASDAQ: JASO), one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar products, announced that it has supplied 420MW of photovoltaic modules
to the National Advanced Technology Photovoltaic Demonstration Base in the coal mining subsidence area of Datong City, Shanxi Province, China's first photovoltaic "frontrunner" demonstration project.
The total installed capacity of the first phase of the demonstration project is 950MW, and JA Solar's module supply accounts for up to 44%.

Datong City Coal Mining Subsidence Area National Advanced Technology Photovoltaic Demonstration Base is the first 1000MW photovoltaic "leader" demonstration base launched by the National Energy Administration, with an estimated investment of 10 billion yuan, will build 13 photovoltaic power stations, after completion, the average annual on-grid electricity is 1.
5 billion kWh, the annual tax revenue can be 260 million yuan, saving 480,000 tons
of standard coal.
In July 2015, JA Solar was selected by the Datong Municipal People's Government as the 2015 project investor of the demonstration base, and undertook the 50MW "Frontrunner + New Technology + New Model" demonstration project
.
In addition to the winning project, JA Solar also provided a total of 370MW of photovoltaic module products
to six Chinese bidders, including Three Gorges Group, Huadian Group, China Power Investment Group, China General Nuclear Power Corporation, Jingneng Group and Hefei Sungrow.

According to the National Energy Administration's "Opinions on Promoting the Application of Advanced Photovoltaic Technology Products and Industrial Upgrading", as a "leader" product, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of polycrystalline modules and monocrystalline modules must reach more than 16.
5% and 17% respectively, and the attenuation rate shall not be higher than 2.
5% and 3% within one year after operation, and the annual attenuation rate shall not be higher than 0.
7% thereafter, and the attenuation rate shall not be higher than 20%
in the whole life cycle of the project 。 AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN PHOTOVOLTAIC CORE TECHNOLOGY AND QUALITY, JINGAO HAS HAD FOUR MODULES, CYPRESS CONVENTIONAL MONOCRYSTALLINE MODULES, CYPRESS CONVENTIONAL MULTICRYSTALLINE MODULES, PERCIUM HIGH-EFFICIENCY MONOCRYSTALLINE MODULES AND RIECIUM HIGH-EFFICIENCY MULTICRYSTALLINE MODULES, WHICH MEET AND EXCEED THE "FRONTRUNNER" STANDARD
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL PHOTOVOLTAIC "LEADER" PROGRAM.
At the beginning of 2016, JA RIO's high-efficiency polycrystalline double glass modules also met the national photovoltaic module "leader" technology and quality requirements, and obtained the "leader" certification issued by the China Quality Certification Center
.

In the continuous development of the industry, the demand for efficient products is becoming more and more strong
.
Products with higher conversion rates can achieve higher installed capacity in the area, resulting in more power output, lower land, transportation and installation costs per watt, and directly improve customer revenue
.
In order to meet customer needs and promote the development of high-efficiency photovoltaic products, JA expects that the product production capacity of the frontrunner will reach 1.
8GW mono and 2.
3GW
multicrystalline within the year.

"The China PV 'Frontrunner' Program aims to promote technological innovation through technical indicators, and improve the overall level of the industry from aspects such as photovoltaic products, manufacturing, application, standards and testing, so as to lead China's photovoltaic industry towards the healthy development of technological innovation and high-quality manufacturing, which is very in line with the 'supply-side reform' strategy
proposed by the Chinese government.
