Recent Solar Project by JinkoSolar

The company has been on the receiving end of regular contracts from various clients over the last few months.

Solar Additions Across Globe

JinkoSolar has a widespread customer base outside the U.S. territory, especially in countries like China, Japan, Chile, South Africa, India, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Spain, France and Belgium. This ensures consistent orders for the company.

Much like JinkoSolar, other companies in the solar industry are also trying to expand their footprint in order to lessen dependency on the domestic market. One of them is Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:CSIQ) , which earlier reported that its 27.3 MWpsolar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Tottori Prefecture, Japan has initiated commercial operations from Aug 10, 2017.

(NYSE:SOL) successfully secured funding worth $18 million from China Kangfu International Leasing Co., Ltd, an affiliate of State Power Investment Corporation ("SPIC"). The project funding will aid in advancing the company’s 30 MW solar generation projects in Henan Province of China. (Read More: ReneSola Secures Project Financing Worth $18 Million)

Per the agreement, the company will act as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for Australian renewable energy group, Edify Energy’s Daydream solar project, with a capacity of 180.7 MW and 60.2 MW Hayman solar project in Queensland, Australia.

Solar is the Future

Though the current government of the United States has decided to cut a slack for electricity providers in terms of emission, there is no denial that alternative energy, primarily solar and wind, is the future of power generation. Most companies are trying to broaden their clean energy portfolio to reduce carbon emission.

According to a U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) report, the utility-scale solar power capacity will continue to grow to 31 Gigawatt (GW) at 2018 end from 21 GW at the end of 2016.

This is good news amid rising concerns of global warming among the scientists across the world and the reports of thinning ice caps.

Price Movement

Shares of JinkoSolar have returned 60.5% in the last 12 months compared with the industry’s gain of 9.1% in the same time period.

This outperformance can be attributed to the company’s widespread customer base around the world and the consistent new order inflow.
