(Nasdaq: JASO) ("JA Solar" or the "Company"), one of the world's largest manufacturers of high-performance solar power products, today announced that it established a presence in Brazil with the launch of its subsidiary JA Solar Brazil Ltda ("JA Solar Brazil").

The JA Solar Brazil office is expected to start operating in early July.

The Latin American market is an emerging market with strong growth potential in the coming years, and JA Solar is actively working to expand its presence in the region. In March 2017, the Company established its subsidiary JA Solar Mexico SA de CV ("JA Solar Mexico"), starting its geographic expansion into Latin America. Since then, the Company has worked on a number of utility-scale projects and collaborated with local distributors in Mexico.

Mr. Baofang Jin, Chairman and CEO of JA Solar, commented, "The launch of JA Solar Brazil will enhance our ability to serve our customers, strengthen our strategic partnerships in the region, and further increase brand awareness in Brazil as well as in the Latin American market.
