Under the agreement, JinkoSolar will be responsible for project declaration, investment, EPC, operation and maintenance, while the rooftop’s owners will self-generate and consume the energy and supply excess power to the grid with the distributed on-grid power tariff.
Spanning across an area of around 1.2 million m2, the project, which is designed for commercial and residential rooftop installations, is claimed to be China’s largest distributed PV power plant once completed within three years.
JinkoSolar chairman Xiande Li said that the latest agreement will support the development of medium and small-sized distributed PV power plants in commercial areas and residential communities of eastern China, and is in line with the Chinese government’s policies to develop distributed energy.
"With JinkoSolar’s renewable energy solutions, sustainable and stable clean energy sources will be provided to the properties in the area.
"We are glad to promote the development of distributed energy in China with the local authority in Electromechanical Industrial Park, Zhenjiang New Area, and at the same time demonstrate the important role renewable energy technology plays in boosting the sustainable development of local economy and environmental conditions," added Li.
