Avoided Emissions in 2024 (Unit: tCO2e)
1 When calculating avoided emissions, the annual power generation hours of JA Solar's PV modules are assumed to be 1,300 hours. For key overseas sales regions, grid emission factors published by the European Commission (January 2024) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (January 2025) are adopted. For all other regions, grid emission factors issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China (December 2024) are applied.
