today announced their intention to jointly develop and market part of their
solar photovoltaic product portfolio over the next five years.
The
definitive commercial agreement is expected to be entered into before year end.
JA Solar is expected to contribute its cost-efficient manufacturing and rapid
execution capabilities, plus its access to third party silicon and/or wafers,

more rapidly and accelerating the worldwide adoption of solar photovoltaic
solutions. We share this common goal," said Samuel Yang, JA Solar's chief
executive officer. "This agreement further demonstrates JA Solar's capability of
providing low-cost and high quality manufacturing in the industry and is
expected to give us market access through BP's well- established global brand
and marketing networks. The proposed alliance is a good fit and is intended to
allow us to build on each others' strengths in a mutually beneficial way," he
