JinkoSolar has signed an agreement with Tsinghua University to act as a sole PV facility provider for the university’s Dream Grid Plan.
Founded by Tsinghua University’s Department of Electronic Engineering, the Dream Grid Plan aims at offering students with a means to give back to society in a socially responsible way. They will help provide children in the Tibetan-inhabited areas of Sichuan Province with a clean and sustainable energy supply.
Under this partnership, JinkoSolar will help the university implement the ‘Dream Grid’ Plan in Gonggashan, Kangding County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province.
The partnership also plans to build a mobile signal tower along with a micro-grid system to provide a basic power supply for Gonggashan center school and Gonggasha Yulong West Village School.
Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar, said, “We plan on providing domestic universities across China with more extensive experience through project based platforms such as this as we work to fulfill our social responsibility and cultivate local talent for the greater good.”
JinkoSolar also plans to explore more research development, joint training and corporate social responsibility plans with universities.
Qingguang Yu, Adjunct professor of Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University, said, “We are pleased to see JinkoSolar strongly support the ‘Dream Grid’ and as we work together to take on greater social responsibility, something that JinkoSolar and Tsinghua share in common.”
