JA Solar Wins RETC "Overall Highest Achiever" Award for the Sixth Consecutive Year
The annual report, issued by U.S.-based RETC, is one of the most trusted benchmarks in the PV industry. The report evaluates PV modules from global manufacturers using rigorous testing protocols that go beyond standard IEC certification requirements. Only modules demonstrating consistently strong performance across all key indicators—quality, performance, and reliability—earn the "Overall Highest Achiever" title. In the 2025 assessment, only 13% of all tested products met this standard.
JA Solar's DeepBlue 4.0 Pro module stood out in 12 individual test categories, most notably damp heat (DH), potential-induced degradation (PID), ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID), and efficiency—more than any other brand in this year's evaluation. These results underscore DeepBlue's all-round strength in long-term durability and power output, particularly under extreme environmental conditions.
The RETC recognition follows closely on the heels of another international validation: JA Solar's DeepBlue 4.0 Pro was named a "Top Performer" in the 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard published by PVEL, another globally respected independent testing lab.
"Our long-standing commitment to delivering high-quality, high-reliability modules stems from a focus on creating real value for our customers," said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar. "These repeated recognitions from authoritative institutions like RETC and PVEL affirm the strength of our technology and reinforce customer trust in our products worldwide."
Already deployed in a wide range of utility-scale and distributed PV projects across the globe, the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro series is performing strongly in the field. Built on JA Solar's advanced n-type technology platform, the module offers high energy yield and stable operation, making it a compelling choice for investors and project developers focused on long-term returns and sustainability goals.
As JA Solar celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the company remains dedicated to advancing photovoltaic innovation and supporting the global transition to clean energy through reliable, high-performance products.

Huawei and SchneiTec Commission World's First TÜV SÜD-Certified Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project
SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with SchneiTec, has successfully commissioned Cambodia's first-ever TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project, marking a key milestone in the country's transition toward a sustainable energy future. As a leading energy solutions provider in the region, SchneiTec previously developed Cambodia's largest solar power plant. This newly completed 12MWh energy storage project includes a 2MWh testbed dedicated to validating Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS technology. The system has demonstrated its exceptional capabilities in stabilizing the grid in both off-grid and weak-grid scenarios by facilitating the seamless integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. The project has received authoritative certification from TÜV SÜD, marking Cambodia's first grid-forming ESS deployment and laying a strong foundation for future capacity expansion and large-scale energy infrastructure development. The project was jointly tested by TÜV SÜD, SchneiTec, and Huawei Digital Power. TÜV SÜD — renowned globally for its rigorous standards in energy technology testing and certification — verified the key technical capabilities of Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS, including inertia response, high/low voltage ride-through, frequency support, and overload performance. Key Testing Highlights: This independent verification of Huawei's grid-forming ESS technology represents the first overseas on-site validation of the system in full compliance with international standards, including IEC, China National Standards, the UK Grid Code, and Germany's VDE standards. Obtaining TÜV SÜD certification demonstrates that Huawei's grid-forming ESS technology meets globally recognized benchmarks for energy management and grid stability. This milestone not only marks a major achievement in Huawei Digital Power's technological development journey, but also represents a landmark moment in the evolution of energy sector innovation.

JA SOLAR and Borussia Dortmund Announce Partnership and Joint Major Project
BEIJING, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The PV module manufacturer JA SOLAR and the renowned football club Borussia Dortmund are joining forces for the installation of a new photovoltaic system on the roof of SIGNAL IDUNA PARK-creating the world's largest PV system on a stadium roof. The stadium, which hosts the highest average number of spectators per match in European football, now also becomes a flagship of sustainable innovation. In selecting new partners, JA SOLAR places a strong emphasis on integrity, respect, and the pursuit of sustainable solutions. These values are central to its collaboration with Borussia Dortmund. With this new installation in Dortmund, JA SOLAR delivers exceptional product quality for the purpose of decarbonization. Aligned with the sustainability goals and long-term vision of both Borussia Dortmund and JA SOLAR, this project will generate reliable green electricity for the next 30 years, uniting two powerful partners with a shared commitment. It also represents JA SOLAR's long-term dedication to the European PV market. The world-famous football temple with its legendary "Yellow Wall." The highly efficient Full-Black modules from JA SOLAR. This unique combination brings unparalleled black-and-yellow energy-on the pitch, in the stands, and now on the roof-setting a new standard for the energy transition. JA SOLAR's sleek black modules, perfectly matching Borussia Dortmund's iconic colours, are already widely used on private homes for their aesthetic appeal. The Borussia Dortmund project also demonstrates that these modules-and others from JA SOLAR's extensive portfolio-are equally suitable for commercial rooftops. All modules used in this project meet the JA Solar ITS Supply Chain Standard. More than 11,000 modules will be installed on the stadium roof. In total, the system will generate over 4 GWh annually for Borussia Dortmund's own consumption. This serves as an inspiring example for other organizations. The rooftop system is expected to reduce the club's CO₂ emissions by approximately 1,800 tons per year, while significantly improving the stadium's energy security and resilience. For perspective: this solar energy could power the floodlights for 1,000 matches per year. Installation is scheduled to begin in summer 2025, with completion targeted by the end of that same summer. Carsten Cramer, Managing Director of Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA: "We are very pleased about the partnership with JA SOLAR, which will play a key role in the planned renovation of the photovoltaic system on the roof of SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. This collaboration underlines our commitment to sustainability and innovative technologies. With JA SOLAR's modules, which will power the largest photovoltaic system on any stadium roof, we are setting the course for a more environmentally friendly future." Henning Schulze, Vice President JA SOLAR: "We believe that Borussia Dortmund and JA SOLAR share many common values, and we are really proud that our modules are to be used for this project at this iconic stadium. In times of rapid political change and market disruption, our participation in this project is a clear statement from JA SOLAR that we are here to stay." JA looks forward to welcoming customers from all over the world together with representatives of Borussia Dortmund at Intersolar Europe in Munich from 7-9 May at stand A2.280.
