BEIJING, Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

JA Solar announced that it supplied modules for South Korea's largest

mountainous photovoltaic power plant project, which is installed with a

capacity of 93MW and built on the ground of an existing 40MW wind farm. With

the incorporation of the photovoltaic power plant, the wind-solar hybrid

project has become the largest of its kind in South Korea with a total

installed capacity of 133MW.

The entire wind-solar hybrid project is expected to generate 120 million kWh of

electricity per year, which will meet the needs of about 30,000 households and

bring an annual revenue of about 30 billion won (about 25 million US dollars).

The 93MW photovoltaic power plant is expected to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions by about 56,000 tons per year, equivalent to 310,000 pine trees being

planted.

This project uses the spare land of the wind farm for the installation of the

photovoltaic power plant to meet the South Korean market's growing demand for

clean energy while effectively raising the utilization of the land. With this

novel application of wind and solar energy generation, power supply reliability

is improved and the costs reduced.

This latest project is part of JA Solar's ongoing commitment to actively

explore innovative applications of renewable energy while focusing on

photovoltaic technology development. It has supplied modules for projects

combining PV products with cutting-edge technologies, including Huanghe

Hydropower's 490MW shipment for its ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission

project in Qinghai Province, a 32MW solar-plus-storage project in Hokkaido, and

the first bifacial-plus-trackers project in Malaysia. Through these innovative

application of advanced photovoltaic products, the company constantly drives

the efficient use and development of solar energy.

Since JA Solar's entry into the South Korean solar PV market in 2011, it has

built excellent reputation and a loyal customer base in the fast growing PV

market with its high-quality products and services. JA Solar's high-efficiency

products have obtained product certification from the Korean Industrial

Standards (KS), and have been recognized by local industry media and customers.

In 2018, JA Solar officially set up a South Korean branch to provide more

timely and efficient support and services for local customers. In 2019, the

branch won the "Best Market Performance Award" of South Korea Solar/ESS

Industry.
