JinkoSolar Supplies 40 MW Modules for Dutch Solar Project

JinkoSolar has supplied approximately 40 MW of its Cheetah HC 60 solar modules to Obton for installation on the Almelo project in the Netherlands

JinkoSolar, one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, has announced that its affiliate has supplied approximately 40 MW of its ultra-high efficiency Cheetah HC 60 solar modules to Obton, one of the leading global developers and investors of PV solar energy. The modules were installed in the Almelo project in the Netherlands during the summer of 2019.

Anders Marcus, CEO of Obton, said that the firm is extremely proud of its role in helping the Netherlands transition towards renewable energy. “The country is making significant progress towards a greener future and partnering with a globally respected firm such as JinkoSolar will allow us to push the development of solar energy to new heights.”

“We are very pleased to work with Obton which I believe reflects the trust and confidence they have in us as their key supplier partner,” commented Frank Niendorf, general manager Europe for JinkoSolar. “Our hero products, Cheetah HC and Cheetah Plus, account for a significant share of the Dutch PV market in 2019 and helping create new growth opportunities for us next year.”

Recently, we reported that the firm supplied 300 MW of its high energy density Tiger panels for an ultra-high voltage demonstration plant in Qinghai Province, China. The Qinghai Ultra High Voltage Demonstration Plant is the first ground-mounted utility project in the world to install JinkoSolar‘s Tiger panels which have 20.4 percent module efficiency. JinkoSolar’s efficient Tiger series deliver value as a result of a unique tiling ribbon that improves reliability and efficiency and outperforms conventional panel yield in real-world conditions such as partial shading and elevated temperatures.

Recently, we had reported that the firm delivered to X-ELIO, a leading company dedicated to the development, construction and operation of photovoltaic plants, 950 MW of its ultra-high efficiency Cheetah 72 cells solar modules to be installed at different projects across Spain and Mexico.

Out of the 950 MW to be installed, 575 MW of the PV panels will be used in 12 project sites namely in Spain including Ciudad Real, Badajoz, Albacete, Murcia, Almería, Sevilla, Cartagena, Valencia and Segovia, and over 375 MW will be deployed in two different project locations in Mexico, with 118 MW and 257 MW destined for Veracruz and Navojoa, respectively.
