JA Solar, a leading Chinese module manufacturer, has begun shipping 1GW of DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules to the massive 2GW Suji Sandland agrivoltaics (agriPV) project in Inner Mongolia.

Located in one of Inner Mongolia’s vast desert regions, Suji Sandland faces significant ecological and environmental challenges.

This desert-based project showcases how photovoltaic technology can drive both clean energy generation and ecological restoration. The deployment of JA Solar’s DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules marks a key step in the region’s transition toward sustainable energy, contributing to its broader green transformation.

“This project demonstrates how advanced photovoltaic technology can contribute to clean energy and ecological restoration in harsh desert environments,” said JA Solar’s Executive President. “We are very proud that our DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules can help transform large tracts of sand into valuable green assets and help achieve environmental goals.”

Scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, the project will span over 42,000 acres, with an estimated annual power output of 2.96 billion kWh. It is expected to save approximately 900,000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2.68 million tons annually.

Beyond power generation, the project also pioneers a “photovoltaic + ecological restoration” model. By integrating under-module planting technology, it establishes a micro-ecosystem to effectively combat desertification.

JA Solar is combining advanced solar photovoltaic technology with sustainable land use practices to support large-scale renewable energy development and contribute to global energy transformation and ecological preservation.
