“These projects are a major step forward as we look to increase the role project development plays in our overall revenue mix,” said Baofang Jin, executive chairman and CEO of JA Solar. “Over the past three years, we've built up experience in engineering, procurement and construction through the successful execution of over 100 MW of solar projects, and we see project development as a complement to our manufacturing business. Going forward, we will continue to explore project opportunities both domestically and internationally alongside our core business.”
