The company has to date connected more than 300 MW of solar PV power projects to the grid.

JinkoSolar constructed the project on the top of a 2 million m2 fish pond, situated in the coastal economic development zone in Xiangshui, Yancheng City.

The company claims that it is one of the largest solar PV projects connected to the grid in Jiangsu Province.

The power plant has been granted a 20-year subsidy of 1.0 RMB/KWh.

JinkoSolar chairman Xiande Li said: "The Xiangshui project is a landmark ground-mounted solar PV project in Eastern China with its efficient use of land and combination of fish farming and solar power generation, which is in-line with the National Energy Administration’s new policy.

"The government continues to promote favorable policies and subsidies which we believe will create numerous new opportunities during the second half of 2014."

As of 30 June 2014, JinkoSolar had an annual capacity of 2GW each for silicon ingots, wafers and solar cells and 2.1GW for solar modules.

The company sells electricity in China and distributes its solar products in the global PV market.
