JA Solar is hopeful about the solar market in the U.K.

Baofang Jin, chairman and CEO of JA Solar, said, “The UK market remains very successful for JA Solar and we have seen continued growth year after year.”

“Despite an impending renewables obligation (RO) limit to individual PV sites over 5MWp, we are still optimistic about the UK market in 2015,” Jin added.

The UK PV industry is extremely dynamic with strong fundamentals, Jin said. “We see the market maturing at a fast rate, and any gradual shift of focus towards rooftop solar also lends well to our strategy for higher powered products.” JA Solar logo

In 2014, the company has delivered over 100MWp of PV modules to Solarcentury, a UK solar developer and EPC, for use in Solarcentury’s ground-mounted solar projects and large commercial rooftops in the UK.

Of this, approximately 49MWp of JA Solar’s proprietary Full Square mono 275Wp modules will be deployed for the Southwick solar farm.

Once connected to the grid in March 2015, the farm will become one of the largest solar farms ever built in the UK.

Frans van den Heuvel, CEO of Solarcentury, said the company selected JA Solar because it is important to partner with a reliable and financially stable provider for larger projects.
