With the collaborationof JA Solar and UDP Renewables in place,Scythia-Solar-2 marks the start of the second phase of the large-scale renewable energy project,Scythia-Solar. The plant is located in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine,where the temperature difference is significant throughout the year. All the PV modules installed in the project are based on JA Solar's high-efficiency PERC technology. JA Solar's modules have passed rigorous long-term reliability test and environmental adaptability tests,along with excellent temperature coefficient and resistance to PID attenuation. The modules provide high reliability and excellent power generation efficiency under extreme weather conditions,ensuring the stable electricity generation of the power plant. The PV plant is expected to generate 42,000,000kWh of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 51,000 tons per year,enabling it to power 13,300 households.
