“As the PV power market in China continues to mature, we have seen an increasing number of commercial banks, following policy banks, entered solar downstream [sic]. As a leading player in the domestic market, JinkoSolar's leading position and strength has been recognized by a growing number of financial institutions,” said Xiande Li, chairman of JinkoSolar. “This agreement, following our banking facility agreements with China Development Bank and China Minsheng Bank, is another credit facility that we have signed with a first-tier bank to finance our downstream projects.”

According to the terms of the agreement, the line of credit is for three years.

JinkoSolar had cumulatively connected a total of approximately 617MW of PV power projects to the grid by the end of the first quarter of 2015 and had previously guided PV project pipeline completions in 2015 of 600MW to 800MW.
