JA Solar has commenced delivery of 1GW of its DeepBlue 4.0 Pro high-efficiency modules to a project in Inner Mongolia’s Urad Front Banner. The Suji Sandland project is part of the third phase of China’s large-scale wind and solar power base initiatives, aligned with global carbon neutrality targets and a commitment to ecological restoration in desert-prone regions.
Suji Sandland is one of many desert zones that present ecological and environmental challenges. The deployment of DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules marks a critical step in transforming its arid land into a sustainable source of clean energy, supporting the area’s green transition.
Designed for reliable performance in extreme environmental conditions, the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro has demonstrated excellent performance in similar desert projects including the Kubuqi and Ulan Buh deserts and Horqin Sandy Land. The module is engineered to withstand high ultraviolet radiation, frequent sandstorms and large temperature fluctuations. .
“This project demonstrates how advanced PV technologies contribute to clean energy and ecological recovery in harsh desert environments,” commented JA Executive President Aiqing Yang. “We are delighted to see our DeepBlue 4.0 Pro modules helping turn vast stretches of sand into valuable green assets supporting environmental goals.”
Upon its expected completion by the end of 2025, the project will span over 42,000 acres and is forecast to generate an annual 2.96 billion kWh of electricity, saving some 900,000 tons of standard coal and eliminating 2.68 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition to power generation, the project incorporates an innovative “PV + ecological restoration” model, using under-module planting to help build a micro-ecosystem and combat desertification.
