China’s yes solar was a pretty quiet success compared to some of his more striking competitors. But in 2025 the company struts its things and celebrates two decades in the PV production game.
Yes, Solar was founded in 2005 by Jin Baofang, who reportedly worked as an electricity office in Ningjin and had also dealt with photovoltaics in the 1990s. The company made him a billionaire, but his success had his share of difficult times – including the Chinese government agencies in 2020 for unknown reasons. The company continued during this time and he returned to work the following year.
Yes Solar began shortly after its foundation with solar cells with the production of solar cells and in 2006 achieved a world record – 17.8% cell conversion efficiency. The company, which was listed on Nasdaq in 2007, began producing solar modules in 2010. In 2012, it expanded to offer complete solutions for large -scale projects.
Yes Solar was rejected from Nasdaq in 2018 after it was taken over by Jaso Accoquisition Limited, which was formed by a group of buyers to facilitate the takeover of the company. In 2019, the company was officially listed on the A-Share market in China on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
From the first quarter of this year, the cumulative module shipments from JA Solar 280 GW exceeded, according to the company, which makes it one of the world’s largest manufacturers in relation to overall deliveries. Only as a comparison with some other heavyweights with panel manufacturers:
- In December last year, Jinkosolar (founded in 2006) announced that he had shipped 300 GW panel since the start of operation.
- By the end of March 2025, Trina Solar sent more than 275 GW modules (founded in 1997).
“Our 20th anniversary belongs to every employee, partner and customers who was part of our trip,” said Aiqing Yang, Executive President of JA Solar last month. “If we look ahead, we confirm our commitment to promoting innovation, promoting environmentally friendly development and the long -term value for our global partners.”
Yes solar modules in Australia
The company entered the Australian market in 2013, so that its panels had good training under local conditions.
The company’s panels are particularly attractive for budget buyers. For example, the Bifacial Deep Blue 4.0 Pro 440 Watt (Front Face Wattage), which we listed in our Solar Panel comparison table, has an estimated retail price of 140 US dollars -that is only 32 cents per watt.
While deep blue panels have a product guarantee of 25 years, this does not cover the labor costs for the removal and reinstallation of new panels. This is covered even with some inexpensive budget competitors (such as Jinko). Another difference is the boards of yes solar usually slightly larger than some of his competitors in the same wattage class.
But Australian buyers generally seem to be satisfied with their purchases, and in the past 12 months (99 reviews), the reviews of JA Solar Panel are on solar quotes with an average of 4.8 stars (722 ratings) and 4.9 stars.
The founder of Solarquotes, Finn Peacocks, the panels of the company:
“Cheap, reliable and well supported in Australia. Nothing that you should be happy about, and nothing you have to complain about. An option with a low risk of budget -conscious.”
The company, which is present via an office in Sydney, is currently listed in our recommended Solar Panel brand diagram.
Yes, Solar did not achieve a place on the podium at our Installer Choice Awards for the best solar collectors in 2025 (residential institutions) this year. with ~ 5% of the vote on 7th place. In fact, since the beginning of the awards, the company has never classified among the top 3 among the participating installers.
Although not the favorite of the local PV scene on the installation side of things, the company’s modules were presented in a series of projects on the Australian supply scale such as Ross River Solar Farm in Queensland and Gannaware Solar Farm in Victoria.
