JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd, one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar power products, has started mass production of high performance PV panels at its newest module manufacturing facility in Xingtai, Hebei province, China.
The new manufacturing facility, located in the Economic Development District of Xingtai city, has an annual capacity of 1.5 GW with fully automated assembly lines using the latest module manufacturing technologies. The facility is capable of producing both 60 and 72 cell modules primarily using JA Solar's high-efficiency PERCIUM cells.
All the stringers installed in this facility are equipped with artificial intelligence capable of switching soldering configurations between four busbars and five busbars of cell contact patterns. All the assembly lines also have the flexibility of either making regular modules or making double-glass modules with the easiness of converting between them back and forth.
