SHANGHAI, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a fast-growing, vertically integrated solar power product manufacturer in China, was selected as the preferred module provider for a partnership between AEE Renewables plc and EPC Graess Solartechnik for three solar projects across the United Kingdom. In total, the systems will produce approximately 12,500,000 kWh of power annually.
AEE Renewables plc, an international, integrated project developer of photovoltaic and hydro power energy systems, specifically chose JinkoSolar after the company's products passed AEE engineers' stringent standards for internal quality control, bankability and strength of investors. JinkoSolar also sets itself apart from other module providers through its flexible inventory strategy, which offers a reliable method to deliver modules as promised and on time.
The 4MW solar installation at Beechgrove Farm located near the village of Hawkchurch and a 5MW solar farm in South Marston located near the town of Swindon were completed in early October. An additional 5 MW project is planned to be finalized in early 2012.
"We are very pleased with JinkoSolar's professionalism and the quality of the products they deliver. JinkoSolar's service is first-rate, customizing its offerings to fit our needs and standing out from the competition," noted Dominic Faber, CIO for AEE Renewables plc. "JinkoSolar's commitment to staying at the forefront of providing cleaner energy makes the organization a perfect partner for our company. We look forward to continuing our work with JinkoSolar and hope the efficiency of its products becomes the market standard, paving the way for a wider adoption of solar energy."
"We place a high value on the quality of the products we deliver, as well as that of our customer service, which is evident through our many satisfied customers around the world," said Arturo Herrero, Chief Marketing Officer for JinkoSolar. "These initial projects in the UK are only the beginning of a fruitful relationship with both AEE Renewables plc and EPC Graess Solartechnik. Our partners and customers are important assets to our company, and we will continue to improve in order to provide them with products and services that stand out from what the industry has to offer."
