The new agreement is expected to further strengthen the strategic relationship between JinkoSolar US and sPower.
sPower CEO Ryan Creamer said: “We have had a strong track record of success with JinkoSolar’s high quality and reliable modules, which is why we have signed another deal.

sPower is owned by a joint venture partnership between US-based electricity distribution company AES and Canadian fund manager Alberta Investment Management (AIMCo).
