Located in the state of Terengganu on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, this project has a total installed capacity of 116MW and covers an area of approximately 600 hectares. It is expected to provide 220 million kWh of electricity per year and meet the needs of 200,000 households, reducing the burning of standard coal by 80,000 tons and decreasing carbon emissions by 200,000 tons per year.
DeepBlue 3.0, advanced PV modules manufactured by JA Solar, were launched by the company in May 2020. The products’ cumulative shipments worldwide from 2020 until June 2022 totaled 24 GW. In order to meet changing market demands, JA Solar continuously strives to improve the power generation performance of PV modules through strengthening its own technical research and innovation. In May 2022, JA Solar launched its first product in the n-type PV module market, DeepBlue 4.0 X. Carrying not only the performance advantages of DeepBlue 3.0, DeepBlue 4.0 X exhibits higher efficiency, higher power, stronger power generation capability and excellent reliability. Both the DeepBlue 3.0 and DeepBlue 4.0 X truly exemplify JA Solar’s product design philosophy of being “tailored to enhance customer value”.
