JA Solar Co., Ltd, a world-leading manufacturer of high-performance 
photovoltaic products, announced that it has been recognized as "Top Performer" 
in the 2019 PV Module Reliability Scorecard jointly issued by DNV GL and PVEL. 
This is the fourth time JA Solar has received the honor.

Jointly issued by DNV GL, the world's largest independent energy advisory and 
certification body, and PVEL, a leading reliability and performance testing lab 
for solar modules, the scorecard presents the most comprehensive publicly 
available reliability test results about solar modules, and guides solar 
project developers, financiers, and asset owners and operators around the world 
to choose cost-effective and high-performance modules. 

The 2019 scorecard summarizes the results of PVEL's tests within an 18 month 
duration on module performance, including thermal cycling, damp heat, dynamic 
mechanical load sequence, and potential-induced degradation (PID). The modules 
that have degraded less than 2% for the entirety of the test sequence are 
recognized as "Top Performer" products. With its high-quality solar modules, JA 
Solar performed well in all tests and is recognized as "Top Performer" in all 
four test categories.

JA Solar recently commenced mass production of its 9BB half-cell PERC solar 
module. The new module, featuring numbers of leading-edge technologies, could 
achieve an output power up to 405W for a 72-cell module. Compared with 
conventional modules, JA Solar's 9BB half-cell PERC module has superior 
performance in reliability, stability, mechanical properties and environmental 
adaptability, which enables it to provide promising guarantee of investors' 
return and drives down system costs and LCOE, thus resulting in an effective 
solution to achieving grid parity. 

Mr. Jin Baofang, Chairman and CEO of JA Solar, said, "JA Solar is committed to 
the R&D and mass production of high-efficiency solar modules to further reduce 
LCOE and promote grid parity. In the future, we'll continue to provide 
high-quality products for customers around the world, and promote the 
development of renewable energy globally."
