  • JinkoSolar has announced the successful deployment of its advanced Energy Storage Solution (ESS) at the UAE’s Fujairah City Centre.
  • The project, named “Green Cooling,” is a collaborative effort with the renowned Majed AL Futtaim Group and developer Yellow Door, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy use in commercial properties.

JinkoSolar’s JKS540K-500P ESS, with a 540 kWh storage capacity, has been seamlessly integrated with a 700 kWp solar panel system, enabling the shopping mall to operate a 24/7 off-grid green air conditioning system. This innovative integration ensures a reliable and continuous supply of clean energy, significantly reducing the center’s reliance on traditional power sources and associated carbon emissions.

Designed with the harsh climate of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region in mind, the Jinko-ESS solution is built for outdoor installation and offers scalable energy storage from 50 kWh to 5MWh within a single container system. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications and environments.

The “Green Cooling” project in Fujairah City Centre demonstrates JinkoSolar’s commitment to providing eco-friendly solutions that not only meet the energy needs of today but also contribute to a greener tomorrow. With a 500 kWh ESS/Microgrid capacity, the system supports off-grid applications, perfectly complementing the PV system to ensure optimal energy utilization.

This milestone project is a testament to JinkoSolar’s technological prowess and its ability to deliver reliable and efficient energy storage solutions that are both environmentally conscious and economically viable. As the company continues to push the boundaries of PV and storage technology, partnerships like these will be pivotal in accelerating the global transition to clean energy.
