NEW YORK (Associated Press) - China-based JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of solar cells, said Thursday it appointed Kang Sun as president and chief operating officer.

Erying Jia, 52, is an executive deputy general manager and director of JingLong Industry and Commerce Group Co. Ltd., JA Solar's largest supplier.
JA Solar shares fell $2.25, or 5.4 percent, to $39.50 in electronic after-hours trading. During regular hours, the shares rose $2.44, or 6.2 percent, to close at $41.75. The stock has ranged from $16.17 to $43.87 over the past year.
