JinkoSolar Announces Global Partnership with City of Manchester

JinkoSolar, a leading global supplier of PV and ESS, today announced a new global partnership with Manchester City. The new partnership will enable JinkoSolar to accelerate its market presence to a global audience and support the Club’s efforts to become one of the largest renewable energy producers in world football.

JinkoSolar is a world-renowned and highly innovative solar technology company. With a mission of “changing the energy portfolio and taking responsibility for enabling a sustainable future,” JinkoSolar has maintained its position as a global leader in module supply for five years.

In the first quarter of 2024, Jinko Solar shipped more than 230 GW of modules globally, with 1 in 8 solar panels installed globally coming from JinkoSolar.

Through the partnership, JinkoSolar will connect and collaborate with Man City fans around the world to jointly promote the use of solar energy through innovative and award-winning solar products, as well as educate fans on how they can contribute to a sustainable future.

Jinko will also support the club’s plans to make its training ground, City Football Academy, one of the largest producers of renewable energy in world football. Announced earlier this year, the project is a key part of Manchester City’s goal to be net zero carbon by 2030.

As leaders in renewable energy and sports, this partnership will set a strong example of the transition to sustainable energy solutions. As the JinkoSolar brand expands globally, it will further accelerate its presence in the market, both among businesses and consumers worldwide.

Kaitlyn Beale, Vice President of Global Partnership Sales at City Football Group, said: “We are delighted to announce this new global partnership with JinkoSolar. Manchester City and JinkoSolar are two leading organisations with a focus on innovation in their fields. Both organisations are committed to creating lasting change and better lives, and we look forward to JinkoSolar joining our journey as we work towards creating a more sustainable future.”

Gener Miao, Chief Marketing Officer at JinkoSolar, said: “We are thrilled to announce this groundbreaking partnership between JinkoSolar and Manchester City Football Club, uniting two champions in their fields. This ‘champion to champion’ collaboration celebrates excellence in sports and renewable energy, paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.

“Together with Manchester City, we are committed to championing sustainability and showing how renewable energy can lead to a healthier planet. We look forward to making a positive impact on this exciting journey.”
