JA Solar Wins RETC "Overall Highest Achiever" Award for the Sixth Consecutive Year
The annual report, issued by U.S.-based RETC, is one of the most trusted benchmarks in the PV industry. The report evaluates PV modules from global manufacturers using rigorous testing protocols that go beyond standard IEC certification requirements. Only modules demonstrating consistently strong performance across all key indicators—quality, performance, and reliability—earn the "Overall Highest Achiever" title. In the 2025 assessment, only 13% of all tested products met this standard.
JA Solar's DeepBlue 4.0 Pro module stood out in 12 individual test categories, most notably damp heat (DH), potential-induced degradation (PID), ultraviolet-induced degradation (UVID), and efficiency—more than any other brand in this year's evaluation. These results underscore DeepBlue's all-round strength in long-term durability and power output, particularly under extreme environmental conditions.
The RETC recognition follows closely on the heels of another international validation: JA Solar's DeepBlue 4.0 Pro was named a "Top Performer" in the 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard published by PVEL, another globally respected independent testing lab.
"Our long-standing commitment to delivering high-quality, high-reliability modules stems from a focus on creating real value for our customers," said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar. "These repeated recognitions from authoritative institutions like RETC and PVEL affirm the strength of our technology and reinforce customer trust in our products worldwide."
Already deployed in a wide range of utility-scale and distributed PV projects across the globe, the DeepBlue 4.0 Pro series is performing strongly in the field. Built on JA Solar's advanced n-type technology platform, the module offers high energy yield and stable operation, making it a compelling choice for investors and project developers focused on long-term returns and sustainability goals.
As JA Solar celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, the company remains dedicated to advancing photovoltaic innovation and supporting the global transition to clean energy through reliable, high-performance products.

Huawei and SchneiTec Commission World's First TÜV SÜD-Certified Grid-Forming Energy Storage Project
SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with SchneiTec, has successfully commissioned Cambodia's first-ever TÜV SÜD-certified grid-forming energy storage project, marking a key milestone in the country's transition toward a sustainable energy future. As a leading energy solutions provider in the region, SchneiTec previously developed Cambodia's largest solar power plant. This newly completed 12MWh energy storage project includes a 2MWh testbed dedicated to validating Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS technology. The system has demonstrated its exceptional capabilities in stabilizing the grid in both off-grid and weak-grid scenarios by facilitating the seamless integration of intermittent renewable energy sources. The project has received authoritative certification from TÜV SÜD, marking Cambodia's first grid-forming ESS deployment and laying a strong foundation for future capacity expansion and large-scale energy infrastructure development. The project was jointly tested by TÜV SÜD, SchneiTec, and Huawei Digital Power. TÜV SÜD — renowned globally for its rigorous standards in energy technology testing and certification — verified the key technical capabilities of Huawei's Smart String Grid-Forming ESS, including inertia response, high/low voltage ride-through, frequency support, and overload performance.
