JA Solar Attends BNEF 2025 Beijing Summit: Analyzing New Paradigms in Global Manufacturing Cooperation
On March 20, the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) 2025 Beijing Summit was held with great significance. This year’s summit gathered authoritative think tank experts, corporate managers, and industry analysts to discuss the future of energy and mobility in China. Zhu Daocheng, President of the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Business Group at JA Solar, was invited to attend and shared insights on the theme, “How the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Industries Can Seize New Opportunities in a Zero-Carbon Future.” He elaborated on JA Solar’s forward-looking practices and plans regarding the synergistic development of solar energy and storage, as well as its global strategic layout.
As the penetration rate of photovoltaic technology continues to rise rapidly, the energy storage industry is garnering increasing attention. During the summit, Zhu highlighted that JA Solar is strategically positioning its energy storage business in three key areas. Firstly, the role and positioning of new energy storage systems have fundamentally changed. They have been frequently mentioned in the government’s reports, and the cumulative installed capacity has surpassed that of pumped storage. Furthermore, with the declining costs of energy storage, emerging markets, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, are beginning to gain traction, accelerating the diversification of the global market.
In its long-term development, JA Solar has established stable, long-term partnerships with high-quality energy companies and photovoltaic power station system integrators globally. Leveraging its advantages in the supply chain and its accumulated experience in smart energy solutions, JA Solar’s energy storage products can achieve global leadership, fully meeting the needs of global customers for integrated “solar and storage solutions.”
In the context of energy transformation driven by the synergistic development of solar and storage, global supply chain adjustments have become another focal point of the industry. Zhu elaborated that since its inception, JA Solar has been executing a globalization strategy, having successfully navigated two major phases: “product export” and “capacity expansion abroad.” Currently, in response to changes in the supply chain landscape, JA Solar has introduced a new globalization vision aimed at transforming its market and corporate transactions into a “community” relationship characterized by mutual development, shared achievements, and a united future.
JA Solar has established regional operations centers in Europe and the United States, upgrading local sales companies to centers equipped with a range of operational functions, including technology, delivery, customer service, finance, legal, and human resources. The company is now working to further enhance these regional centers into fully functional operational hubs, effectively “recreating” JA Solar on foreign soil, thereby deeply integrating into the development trajectory of international markets.
JA Solar will continue to deepen its dual-driven strategy of “photovoltaic + energy storage,” using technological innovation to promote the implementation of solar and storage integration scenarios and accelerating the reconstruction of the energy industry chain through new paradigms of global manufacturing cooperation. Guided by zero-carbon objectives and leveraging advanced solar and storage collaborative solutions and complementary resources in the supply chain, JA Solar aims to provide more competitive green energy solutions for global customers, injecting “win-win power” into the energy transition.
