JA Solar has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Advance Prime Power Corporation (AP Power), a renewable energy developer in the Philippines, to expand solar energy deployment across Southeast Asia.

The signing ceremony took place at JA Solar’s Beijing headquarters and builds on a supply agreement reached earlier this year.

The memorandum of understanding sets out a two-year partnership to scale solar PV projects and promote clean energy adoption in the Philippines and neighbouring markets.

Senior representatives from both companies attended the event. The partnership will combine JA Solar’s global research, development and manufacturing capabilities with AP Power’s local expertise in project development.

“The Philippines is a core market for JA Solar, where we’ve built a strong presence through more than a decade of localised service and trusted partnerships,” said Jin Junhui, Board Director of JA Solar.

“This agreement deepens our regional footprint and, together with AP Power, we aim to deliver high-quality solar PV solutions that support Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition and long-term sustainability goals.”

Shen Jian, CEO of AP Power, highlighted JA Solar’s contribution to the company’s clean energy strategy.

“JA Solar’s proven performance and innovation are key to achieving our energy transition goals in the Philippines. This collaboration brings together complementary strengths to create new clean energy capacity and offer a sustainable model for collaboration across Southeast Asia.”

The agreement strengthens JA Solar’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region, where demand for renewable energy is increasing. Both companies plan to jointly develop projects that prioritise sustainability and deliver long-term benefits for the region.
