JinkoSolar Passes California Energy Commission's Module Tests and Becomes Eligible for California's Solar Electric Incentive Programs in Senate Bill 1

SHANGHAI, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar" or the "Company") (NYSE: JKS), a fast-growing solar product manufacturer with low-cost operations based in China, today announced that the Company's JKMXXXM-72 (XXX=175-185W), JKMXXXM-60 (220-240W) and JKMXXXP-60 (220-240W) solar modules meet the requirements of the California Energy Commission ("CEC") and have thus been added to the list of Senate Bill 1 ("SB1") Guidelines compliant photovoltaic ("PV") modules eligible for finance and project incentives in the state of California, Hawaii and some other states in the U.S.

The CEC, which specifies criteria for SB1 Guidelines compliant PV modules, conducts stringent PV module tests on module power, voltage, current, irradiance and operating temperature. The CEC's PV module requirements are standard practice for solar companies in California and recognized by Hawaii and some other states in the U.S. as one of the highest PV module standards.

"Meeting CEC requirements is a major step for JinkoSolar," said Mr. Xiande Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors at JinkoSolar. "With our UL certification and CEC eligibility, we can access the entire U.S. market, which will allow us to further develop our overseas business. We have high aspirations for the U.S. solar market, especially with strong government support through initiatives such as SB1. With our high-quality, SB1 Guidelines compliant solar modules and our potential new sales office in San Francisco, we believe we are poised to capitalize on the growth of the U.S. solar market."
