- JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, todayannounced a new global partnership with Manchester City.
- The new partnership will allow JinkoSolar to accelerate its market presence to a global audience and to support the Club’s effort to become one of the largest producers of renewable energy in world football.
JinkoSolar is a globally renowned and highly innovative solar technology company. Embracing the mission of “changing the energy portfolio and taking responsibility for enabling a sustainable future”, JinkoSolar has maintained its position as the global leader in module shipments for five years.
As of the first quarter of 2024, Jinko Solar has delivered a total of more than 230 GW of module shipments globally, with 1 out of every 8 solar panels installed on earth coming from JinkoSolar.
Through the partnership, JinkoSolar will connect and engage with Man City fans globally to jointly promote the use of solar energy through their innovative and award-winning solar products and further educate fans on how they can play a part towards a sustainable future.
Jinko will also support the club’s plans to make its training facility, City Football Academy, one of the largest producers of renewable energy in world football. Announced earlier this year, the project forms a key part of Manchester City’s goal of becoming carbon net zero by 2030.
As leaders in renewable energy and sports, this partnership will set a powerful example of the transition to sustainable energy solutions and as the JinkoSolar brand continues to grow globally, will further accelerate its market presence to both businesses and consumers around the world.
