JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. today announced that it shipped 100MW of modules to the first large-scale solar farm in Pakistan.
Occupying 500 acres of land, the solar farm is located within the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. The Solar Park will serve to address the country's energy shortage and is a key project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, an under-construction development program for energy and infrastructure projects to connect China to southern Pakistan and develop a new gateway for trade.
Mr. Yong Liu, Chief Operation Officer of JA Solar, commented, "The harsh and arid climate in Pakistan is a great challenge for our solar modules. Successfully shipping 100MW of our modules is a testament to the high quality and reliability of our products."
Mr. Jian Xie, President of JA Solar, added, "The establishment of the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park is an important means to attract foreign investment for Pakistan's energy industry. By completing 100MW of shipments to Pakistan, JA has achieved a new milestone in its effort to expand globally into new markets. As a module supplier for the first large-scale solar farm in Pakistan, we proved that our cost-effective products will add significant value for our down-stream customers by increasing power generation and reducing installation costs."
