JA Solar, a leading manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic products, 
announced that it won the bid for supplying 490MW of high-efficiency modules 
for Huanghe Hydropower's ultra-high voltage (UHV) Transmission Project in 
Qinghai Province. The project, with a scale of 3.1GW, is the world's leading 
UHV demonstration project. This is also of great significance for the 
application of new technologies and exploration of deploying renewable energy 
projects with UHV.

JA Solar will supply its mono PERC 9BB half-cell bifacial double-glass modules 
for the project, facilitating the integration of advanced solar products and 
the UHV power grid. With a mass production output power of 410W and conversion 
efficiency of 20.4%, this advanced product incorporates some of the leading 
technologies, including bifacial cell, 9BB, half-cell and double-glass 
structure. Specifically, 9BB technology decreases resistance loss; half-cell 
technology enables better performance in shaded conditions; and the double 
glass structure allows better adaptability to different environments. 
Additionally, gallium doping technology is applied to the silicon wafers for 
effectively mitigating light induced degradation (LID). All of these 
technologies ensure that the module optimizes power-generating performance. 
With its strong reliability and environmental adaptability, JA Solar's advanced 
module has passed the testing of TUV Nord and Intertek, and is ideal for 
reducing balance of system (BOS) cost and LCOE.

Mr. Jin Baofang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of JA Solar, stated, 
"Huanghe Hydropower Development Co., Ltd is a large comprehensive energy 
company under the State Power Investment Corporation. It has 20-year experience 
in the construction and development of photovoltaic power stations and has 
maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with JA Solar. We are honored 
to cooperate with Huanghe Hydropower on the pioneering project, and will 
continue to work with our cooperative partners to promote the large-scale 
application of high-efficiency products to enable the industry to reach grid 
parity globally."
