The project is being built at a location with extreme environmental conditions of high temperature, ultraviolet radiation and sandstorms.

"Last month, Acciona and Tuto Energy secured $264m in financing for this 400MWp photovoltaic solar plant."

JA Solar claims that its PV modules have passed various environmental tests including drought and sand tests, dry heat and damp heat tests and can withstand the extreme conditions.

JA Solar vice-president Cao Bo said: “We are optimistic about the industry outlook and solar energy development in Mexico.

“In 2017, we established a Mexican subsidiary to expand our presence and support our customers and partners in the region. JA Solar will continue to focus on expanding its share of the market in the region, and providing customers with more reliable PV modules and higher-quality services.”
