Biography

Jin Baofang is the chairman and managing director of solar panel maker JA Solar Technology.

Jin founded the company in 2005. Headquartered in Beijing, JA Solar has plants across China as well as in Southeast Asia, and is planning a $60 million one in Phoenix, Arizona.

JA Solar initially went public on the Nasdaq in 2007 but was taken private in 2018 after a lackluster share performance.

The company joined the Shenzhen Stock Exchange the following year through a backdoor listing.

His daughter Junhui became a director of JA Solar in 2022; Tao Ran, husband of younger daughter Junmiao, also sits on the board.
