At the recent Solar Pakistan 2024 event, JA Solar, a prominent manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic (PV) products, announced significant strides in bolstering sustainable energy initiatives within Pakistan.
JA Solar has inked memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreements with three leading Pakistani firms, namely Garibsons, SM Solar, and Wasiq Traders, collectively accounting for a staggering 600MW capacity in PV module supply.
This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s journey towards embracing sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions. JA Solar reaffirmed its commitment to closely collaborate with its Pakistani partners in facilitating the nation’s transition towards greener energy alternatives.
Garibsons, a stalwart in Pakistan’s business landscape since its establishment in 1974, boasts the distinction of being the country’s largest rice exporter, with a global footprint spanning over 100 countries. Beyond its core business of rice exports, Garibsons has long championed sustainable development and environmental stewardship. The signing of the MOU with JA Solar underscores Garibsons’ unwavering dedication to promoting sustainable energy solutions and environmental responsibility.
SM Solar, a subsidiary of the renowned Nishat Chunian Group, a key player in Pakistan’s textile and power sectors, also joined forces with JA Solar by signing an MOU for the supply of n-type PV modules. This strategic move signifies SM Solar’s commitment to advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources and fostering green and sustainable energy development in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Wasiq Traders, a leading importer of PV modules and inverters in Pakistan, solidified its position as the country’s premier PV module importer by signing an MOU with JA Solar. As a distributor of JA Solar, Wasiq Traders aims to introduce JA Solar’s cutting-edge products into the Pakistani market, thereby stimulating the growth of the local PV industry.
JA Solar’s foray into the n-type product market began with the launch of its inaugural n-type module product in 2022, signaling its intent to meet evolving market demands for high-efficiency products. In 2023, the company unveiled its latest innovation, the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro series of n-type flagship modules.
Notably, the flagship module in the 72-cell format achieves an impressive maximum production power of 635W and a conversion efficiency of 22.8 percent, solidifying its status as the most powerful product within the current 182 series PV modules.
