Chinese Module Manufacturer Opens French Subsidiary and Office in Montpellier, France
Jinko Solar Expands into France
Jinko Solar, a China-based vertically integrated solar power product manufacturer, has set up a French subsidiary, JinkoSolar S.A.S., and opened a French office in Montpellier. The new operation will support local partners and participate in the growth of the region’s solar industry.
“Since JinkoSolar established its commercial presence in France in 2009, the French solar market has become one of our top targets in Europe. Our physical and legal presence in France is part of our strategy to establish a sustainable and long-term presence in this market,” said David Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman. The new office will be located in the first energy-positive office building of the Languedoc-Roussillon Region.
Earlier this year, France introduced open tenders for large-scale solar energy projects, testifying to the wisdom of JinkoSolar’s decision to expand its operations in the region. “The French market is evolving with the introduction of the new open tenders framework. JinkoSolar is working with its local partners to prepare submissions for the open tendering process, demonstrating its willingness to innovate both technically and competitively in the French market,” concluded Li.
