JA Solar Issues Strong Statement in Response to Trade Secret Rumblings of SolarWorld
BEIJING, March 27, 2018 (GLOBENEWSWIRE) JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq:JASO) (JA Solar or the Company), one of the worlds largest manufacturers of high-performance solar power products, today issued a strong statement in rebuttal to meritless assertions made by SolarWorld in hearings conducted last year and reported in the USTR findings released March 22, 2018.
JA Solar has not benefited from economic espionage and theft to develop its PERC technology as asserted by the statements attributed to SolarWorld in the USTR report. Dr. Wei Shan, CTO of JA Solar says: These allegations on JA Solar are baseless, purely speculation or imagination, erroneous and mistaken if not knowingly false. JA Solar has engaged in hard work and independent research and development of our PERC cell technology, beginning as early as 2009. We view these statements of SolarWorld as meritless and unsupported and firmly believe that such statements will not withstand any level of scrutiny. The substantial investments in the research and development of our technology are solely responsible for our successes.
Dr. Peter Niu, President of JA Solar, commented, As the worlds leading solar module manufacturer, we remain focused on technology innovation and product quality to meet our global customer needs and make contributions in solving the global energy problems.
