JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc. agreed to supply 1.43 GW of modules to independent power producer sPower.
The three-year agreement includes significant down payments to help the JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. subsidiary expand its manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and Asia, according to a June 5 news release.
Executives of China-based JinkoSolar said in March that they are moving ahead with plans to assemble solar panels at a plant in Jacksonville, Fla., despite the tariff imposed on imported solar cells.
JinkoSolar said it has supplied more than 800 MW of solar panels for sPower's photovoltaic projects to date.
SPower is known legally as FTP Power LLC and is owned jointly by AES Corp. and Alberta Investment Management Corp.
