JA Solar Co., Ltd, a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance 
photovoltaic products, recently announced that it supplied all modules based on 
the company's high-efficiency half-cell mono PERC technology for a 450kW 
project in South Korea. JA Solar is the first foreign supplier of half-cell 
mono PERC modules in the country. The establishment of the power plant is of 
great importance for the application of the high-efficiency half-cell mono PERC 
modules as well as for the development of renewable energy in the Korean 
market. 

In April 2019, JA Solar became the first Chinese PV company to obtain product 
certification from Korea Standards Association (KS) for its 395W half-cell mono 
PERC module, providing customers in South Korea who focus on land cost 
reductions with more access to high-efficiency solar energy products. 
Importantly, the KS module 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. 

The 450kW solar plant is located in Hamyang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. 
The high-efficiency modules used in the solar project have passed long-term 
reliability test and have excellent environmental adaptability. The design of 
combining series circuits and parallel circuits can reduce internal power loss, 
increase conversion efficiency and enable better temperature coefficient. When 
shaded, the module, with its half-cell design, is able to generate more 
electricity compared with regular modules, providing a strong guarantee for 
ensuring the reliability of the power plant system and optimizing the power 
generation.

Mr. Jin Baofang, Chairman and CEO of JA Solar, said, "The South Korea market is 
highly interested in high-efficiency solar modules. To meet 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 customers' needs, further expanding our 
presence to contribute to the development of solar industry in the region."
