("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a global leader in the solar PV industry, today announced that it will provide 2 MW of smart modules to IDEC Corporation (“IDEC”), a Tokyo Stock Exchange listed Japanese designer and manufacturer of control automation products, for a ground mounted solar PV project in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The project, which will comprise of 7,644 JinkoSolar polycrystalline smart modules equipped with TIGO Optimizer smart component, is currently the largest PV project equipped with all smart modules in Japan. JinkoSolar's smart module features Tigo's optimization technology embedded into the module. This technology eliminates mismatch losses between modules, which allows underperforming modules to continue contributing to the system while not restricting the stronger modules. Smart modules can improve PV system power by up to 20% compared to ordinary modules. They feature enhanced safety capabilities that enable module-level deactivation and rapid shutdown. In addition they enable up to 30% more modules to be strung in series and monitor every module independently. JinkoSolar's smart modules provide the most value and highest ROI to system owners. Mr. Kangping Chen, Chief Executive Officer of JinkoSolar commented, “JinkoSolar’s smart modules provide stable operation and efficient electricity output for any solar PV system and represent a first step towards building a smart-grid. JinkoSolar’s R&D teams are devoted to developing integrated intelligent solution from smart solar modules to intelligent solar power plant systems. We will continue to develop new and efficient intelligent solar PV systems to bring solar power to a new level.”
