JA Solar has signed a major supply agreement with Masdar, the United Arab Emirates' leading clean energy developer, to provide 1GW of its high-efficiency DeepBlue 4.0 Pro photovoltaic modules for two of Azerbaijan’s largest utility-scale solar projects—Banka and Bilasuvar.
Once completed, the Banka and Bilasuvar solar plants are expected to generate approximately 1.53 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, helping to avoid around 1.15 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. The projects represent a significant step forward in Azerbaijan’s national strategy to diversify its energy mix and accelerate its transition to renewable energy.
JA Solar’s DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules are specifically designed for high-performance operation in demanding coastal environments. With excellent resistance to corrosion, high humidity, salinity, strong winds, and airborne dust, the modules ensure long-term durability, enhanced system stability, and improved energy yield. These characteristics contribute to a lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), supporting greater efficiency and sustainability for large-scale projects.
Beyond product innovation, JA Solar is deeply committed to environmental and social responsibility across its global operations. The company adheres to stringent supply chain governance standards and aligns with international sustainability frameworks, including ongoing collaboration with the IFRS Foundation to promote transparency and ethical sourcing practices.
“We are proud to contribute to this landmark project with our DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules,” said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar. “Masdar has long been a trusted partner, and we sincerely appreciate their continued confidence in our products and expertise. Together, we are committed to delivering reliable, high-efficiency solutions that promote a more sustainable future.”
The partnership between JA Solar and Masdar underscores the growing momentum of international collaboration in accelerating the global energy transition and driving impactful, clean energy development in emerging markets.
