JA Solar has been selected to supply one gigawatt (GW) of its high-efficiency DeepBlue 4.0 Pro PV modules for the Banka and Bilasuvar solar power projects in Azerbaijan being developed by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC – Masdar.
The two projects are the largest utility-scale solar developments in Azerbaijan and, once operational, they are expected to generate approximately 1.53 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, eliminating some 1.15 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules are engineered to perform in challenging coastal environments, characterized by high humidity, salinity, strong winds and airborne dust. Designed to adjust to diverse environments, the modules offer excellent resistance to corrosion and extreme weather, ensuring long-term durability, stable output and improved system performance. These features collectively help reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and maximize energy yield.
“We are delighted to contribute to this landmark project with our DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules,” commented JA Executive President Aiqing Yang. “Masdar has long been a trusted partner, and we sincerely appreciate their continued confidence in our products and expertise. Together, we are committed to delivering reliable, high-efficiency solutions that promote a more sustainable future.”
Masdar has significantly increased its global renewable energy portfolio in the past two years, increasing overall capacity by 150 percent to 51GW as of the end of 2024, from 20GW in 2022. The company has developed and partnered in projects in over 40 countries, with a mandate to increase its renewable energy portfolio capacity to 100GW by 2030 and to become a leading producer of green hydrogen by the same year.
