The share purchase agreement with Shangrao was originally signed on 11 October this year.

The agreement was entered into by Wide Wealth Group Holding, a 55%-owned indirect subsidiary of JinkoSolar and Shangrao. Following completion of the sale, JinkoSolar spun off its downstream business of Jinko Power and received $250m in cash.

“We will continue to improve our anti-PID system to generate a better performance under higher voltage and other tougher conditions.”
