Major PV manufacturer JA Solar has shipped 100MW of PV modules to the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park in Pakistan.

The largest and one of the first utility-scale PV projects in Pakistan has been led by a small group of tier 1 China-based companies, looking to expand business in the country to become key suppliers for the next round of projects of almost 1GW.

Back in June, 2014, TBEA SunOasis won contracts for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) as well as operations and maintenance (O&M) of the initial 100MW phase of the project, followed by Clenergy and Powerway in August and September, respectively gaining orders for mounting systems. 

Jian Xie, president of JA Solar said: “The establishment of the Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park is an important means to attract foreign investment for Pakistan’s energy industry. By completing 100MW of shipments to Pakistan, JA has achieved a new milestone in its effort to expand globally into new markets. As a module supplier for the first large-scale solar farm in Pakistan, we proved that our cost-effective products will add significant value for our down-stream customers by increasing power generation and reducing installation costs.”

Key challenges of the Quaid-e-Azam is that it is located in an arid and hot region where temperatures reach up to 50 degrees celcius during the summer months.

Yong Liu, chief operation officer of JA Solar, commented: “The harsh and arid climate in Pakistan is a great challenge for our solar modules. Successfully shipping 100MW of our modules is a testament to the high quality and reliability of our products.”

JA Solar noted that it supplied its modules under the supervision of PV Lab Germany GmbH and passed strict testing and shipping product on time. Tests included Electroluminescence Inspection and the 3×IEC Standard Thresher Test.
