The first installation of 10.7 MW floating PV in Israel completed

19 Sep 2022 CW Team

As part of a 50MW order placed between JA Solar and S'energy, one of the first businesses in Israel to enter the solar energy industry, the project is the first to be finished. The project received full services and support from Ralco Energy, JA Solar's partner in Israel for the last ten years, as well as logistical and technical pre- and post-sale assistance and local full package support.

The installation of floating PV power plants ensures that idle water resources are fully utilised to provide green electricity while reducing water evaporation and protecting water resources, which is critical in water-stressed areas. The Tel Yitzhak Reservoir floating PV power plant, with a capacity of 10.705MW, is completely outfitted with JA Solar DeepBlue 3.0 PV modules.

This product series has been well-received and widely recognised by global markets since its release in 2020, and its cumulative shipments had reached 24GW by the end of June 2022. DeepBlue 3.0 was one of the first PV modules in South Korea to receive the KS high durability/eco-friendly certification in 2021, thanks to its consistent performance in high temperatures, high humidity, wet leakages, and mechanical load performance tests.

The Middle East and North Africa region's PV market is rapidly expanding due to its abundant solar irradiance resources. JA Solar has gained widespread recognition in the GW-scale Israeli PV market through collaboration with leading distributors and developers such as S'energy and Ralco Energy, as evidenced by its market share of around 40% in the local market in 2021.
