AEME GSE and JinkoSolar Sign MoU to Advance Zero-Carbon Airports and Hangars

AEME GSE and JinkoSolar have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on the development of zero-carbon airports and zero-carbon hangars.

This partnership leverages the strengths of both companies. AEME GSE, a supplier of airport ground support equipment and energy solutions, offers integrated capabilities in eGSE, battery energy storage systems (BESS), airport green microgrids, and smart energy management. JinkoSolar, a leader in solar technology, has shipped over 400 GW cumulatively and ranked No. 1 in global module shipments seven times. The company also offers advanced anti-glare, low-reflection PV modules and extensive expertise in large-scale system integration. Together, the two companies will develop integrated airport green energy systems combining anti-glare PV modules, energy storage, and ground power units (GPUs).

AEME GSE began developing green airport solutions in 2016, with pilot PV-plus-storage projects at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport. By the end of 2024, the Shuangliu system had accumulated approximately 175,000 operating hours, helping airlines save approximately US$2 million while demonstrating strong operational performance and measurable benefits. To date, AEME GSE has delivered solutions for major hub airports and MRO facilities across multiple regions.

JinkoSolar's anti-glare, low-reflection PV modules for transportation infrastructure have been deployed at Taiyuan Wusu International Airport. Its low-glare technology reduces reflection at the source, effectively enhancing aviation safety and improving power generation efficiency. JinkoSolar's high-efficiency PV modules are now widely used in numerous large-scale infrastructure and energy projects worldwide.

Yu Zhao, VP of Global Business and Head of Brand Marketing at AEME GSE, said: “Currently, many airports and hangars are transitioning to electrification and planning to reach net‑zero emissions by 2030. AEME GSE will work closely with JinkoSolar, leveraging the strengths of both companies to support airports in establishing a closed-loop green energy system while addressing current challenges in charging infrastructure, carbon reduction, and digital energy management.”

Ted Wang, head of China Cross-Region team of JinkoSolar, stated: “As a leading PV module manufacturer, JinkoSolar possesses strong expertise in PV technology R&D, and our anti-glare PV modules meet the stringent safety requirements of civil aviation. We will work closely with AEME GSE's global marketing network to bring green energy solutions to more airports and hangars.”

The signing of this strategic cooperation MoU marks AEME GSE as the first supplier to offer end-to-end green solutions spanning power generation, energy storage, charging, and ground support equipment. As the global aviation industry continues to accelerate its decarbonization and electrification efforts, AEME GSE and JinkoSolar will work together to support the transition of airport energy systems from traditional power supply models to integrated, low-carbon, and high-efficiency energy architectures, providing more economical, efficient, and reliable energy solutions for airports worldwide.
