Do you believe large-scale solar power projects represent a reliable investment in national energy infrastructure?
Jinko Solar, LONGi, and Ronma Solar recently announced new supply agreements and shipment milestones for large-scale energy projects. These developments include a 264.3 MW supply deal in Romania and the commencement of equipment delivery for a 1 GW installation in Xinjiang.
Why it matters
These contracts underscore the ongoing scaling of global utility-scale solar infrastructure and the demand for high-capacity modules. The projects, ranging from Romania to China, reflect the continuous effort to expand regional renewable energy generation capacity.
Ronma Solar has deployed 720 Wp (watt-peak) modules for a 1 GW project in Xinjiang, while Jinko Solar is supplying Tiger Neo 3.0 modules for a 264.3 MW Romanian facility. These systems are engineered for high-temperature resilience and heavy snow load performance.
The players
Jinko Solar
A global solar manufacturer specializing in N-type TOPCon modules, including the Tiger Neo product line.
LONGi
A major Chinese manufacturer focused on monocrystalline silicon wafers and solar cells.
Ronma Solar
A solar energy firm focused on large-scale photovoltaic project development and equipment manufacturing.
Jingneng (Wuhan) Clean Energy
A regional energy entity involved in the development and procurement of clean power generation facilities.
The details
The Xinjiang project, representing an investment of RMB 2.38 billion, utilizes modules designed to convert sunlight into electricity at high efficiency even in extreme environments. Jinko Solar's Tiger Neo 3.0 modules are configured to maintain structural integrity under heavy snow accumulation and high heat, ensuring stable output over a planned 25-year service life. Beijing Jingneng Tendering & Centralized Procurement Center managed the bidding process for the LONGi contract, which was valued at RMB 11.4575 million.
Timeline
Construction on the Xinjiang project began in Q2 2026.
Ronma Solar shipped the first batch of modules on September 30, 2026.
Jingneng Group announced the LONGi bid result on October 2, 2026.
Jinko Solar announced the Romanian supply agreement on October 8, 2026.
The Xinjiang project targets full grid-connection by the end of 2026.
The Tech Race
The transition to high-wattage modules like the 720 Wp units reflects a competitive effort to maximize DC installed capacity per square meter in utility projects. This push mirrors the broader industry race to lower the levelized cost of energy through increased module efficiency.
These utility-scale projects primarily affect regional power grids rather than individual households directly. The increased capacity from these 1 GW and 264.3 MW installations will be integrated into local energy markets upon completion.
The takeaway
These agreements highlight the rapid deployment phase of massive solar arrays globally. Investors and industry analysts should monitor the grid-connection milestones for the 1 GW Xinjiang project by the end of 2026 to verify if these installations meet their projected output targets.
What happens next
The Xinjiang project is scheduled for full-capacity grid-connection by the end of 2026.
