JA Solar saw its module business more than double to 693.5MW in the July to September period, compared to the same quarter in 2013. It was 55% up on the second quarter.
In contrast the company’s cell shipments and cell-tolling declined to 92MW, a 53% year-on-year fall.
JA Solar said the increases in higher-margin module sales – driven by “robust growth” in Japan and China – drove third-quarter net profits to 155.4m
