JA Solar ("the Company"), a leading manufacturer of high-performance 
photovoltaic products, announced that the Thailand's 12.5MW floating power 
plant, which utilized its high-efficiency PERC modules, was successfully 
connected to the grid. As the first large-scale floating photovoltaic power 
plant in Thailand, the completion of the project is of great significance to 
the development of local renewable energy.

The plant is constructed on an industrial reservoir, and its generated 
electricity is delivered to customer's manufacturing base via underground 
cables. The plant will become a solar park opening to the general public and 
visitors with a focus on promoting the development of local renewable energy 
after entering operation. 

Compared with traditional PV power plants, the floating PV power plants are 
capable to effectively increase power generation efficiency and prevent 
degradation by decreasing the usage of land, boosting the unobstructed sunlight 
exposure, and lowering module and cable temperatures. JA Solar's 
high-efficiency PERC bifacial double-glass modules have passed rigorous 
long-term reliability and environmental adaptability tests by proving its 
excellent resistance to PID attenuation, salt corrosion, and wind load. 
Additionally, these modules are able to maintain high-efficiency performance 
and stable power output, providing a strong guarantee for optimizing the power 
generation capacity of the system.

Jin Baofang, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of JA Solar, commented, 
"JA Solar will continue to focus on technological innovation and product 
quality while meeting the diverse needs of our global customers and promoting 
the development of renewable energy on a global scale."
