China’s JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. has chosen US firm, Tigo Energy, to optimize its newly launched JA smart module line. The product will integrate Tigo’s technology into the junction box helping obtain high conversion rates, enhanced safety, improved panel-level monitoring, and use up to 30% longer strings.
Tigo Chairman and CEO Zvi Alon said, “Selection by JA Solar of our technology strongly validates the technology and business model that we developed.” However, a Chinese American partnership could help JA Solar avoid the anti-dumping campaign that the US has been launching against China since 2012.
