JA Solar Achieves New Breakthrough in Module Power Output

JA Solar has stated that power output of its high-efficiency solar modules under standard testing conditions has set new industry record reaching above 525W

JA Solar, a leading manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic products, has announced that the power output of its high-efficiency solar modules under standard testing conditions has set a new industry record reaching above 525 W.

Such ultra-highly powerful PV module with 525W+ is designed to meet the customers’ desire and demand for further reducing the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and maximising the economic value of PV systems for renewable energy generation. The goal of this new high-power module series is to bring JA Solar’s high-quality and cost-effective PV products to a whole new level for its worldwide customers. The modules will be commercially available in the second half of 2020.

“At JA Solar, we have been focused on technological innovation, and committed to provide high-efficiency and reliable photovoltaic products for our global customers. Our value of ‘customer centered’ has driven us to achieve this breakthrough, which enables us to win recognition from both the PV Industry and our valued customers”, said Jin Baofang, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of JA Solar.

“The latest breakthrough in module power output is another milestone in JA Solar’s efforts to enhance product performance and boost customers’ long-term economic benefits. In the future, we will continue focusing on the technological innovation of our products to drive the development of the photovoltaic industry, and allow more people to enjoy the benefits of the clean energy”, he added.

Last month, Chinese module manufacturer Trina Solar had announced that its Vertex module was able to reach 515.8 W power output, based on the test result by TÜV Rheinland’s independent evaluation. The Vertex had become one of the first ultra-high power modules to be certified by international testing institutions. It had passed the TÜV Rheinland photovoltaic module IEC test and been granted both the IEC 61215 PV module performance standard and the IEC 61730 PV module safety standard certificates.

In March, JA Solar had become the first firm in the world to mass-produce high-efficiency Mono PERC MBB cells and modules using Ga-doped wafers. The firm had announced that all its production lines of Mono PERC MBB Cells and related modules can be switched to produce modules and cells adopting Ga-doped silicon wafers. Integrating with PERC-SE technology and large-size wafers, Ga doping technology consistently improves the performance of both cells and modules.
