Jinko Solar Product Lineup
Jinko Solar offers advanced solar panel series designed for diverse applications:
- Tiger Neo Series: N-type TOPCon technology panels with 22-23% efficiency. Available in 560-580W commercial models and 430-450W residential formats, offering superior temperature performance and lower degradation.
- Tiger Pro Series: PERC monocrystalline panels with 21-22% efficiency, delivering 540-560W output for cost-effective commercial and residential installations.
- Swan Series: Bifacial N-type panels optimized for utility-scale installations, producing 580-610W with exceptional bifacial gain potential.
- Cheetah Series: Compact residential monocrystalline panels (320-340W) designed for space-constrained rooftop applications.
- Eagle Series: Commercial and industrial PERC panels (450-480W) offering balanced performance and competitive pricing.
Tiger Neo: Next-Generation N-Type Technology
The Tiger Neo series represents Jinko Solar's flagship N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology, delivering industry-leading performance:
- Higher Efficiency: Up to 23% module efficiency, significantly surpassing standard PERC panels (typically 20-21%).
- Lower Degradation: First-year degradation < 1%, annual degradation < 0.4% (compared to 0.55% for PERC). Guarantees 88.75% output in year 30 versus 84.8% for PERC.
- Superior Temperature Performance: Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C (better than -0.35%/°C for PERC), producing more energy in hot climates and during summer months.
- Bifacial Gain: Up to 30% additional energy from rear-side light capture in optimal installation conditions (white roofs, ground-mounted systems, high-albedo surfaces).
Key Technologies & Innovations
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact):
An ultra-thin oxide layer with polysilicon coating reduces electron recombination at the cell rear surface, pushing efficiency beyond the theoretical limits of PERC technology. This enables higher voltage output and better spectral response across wavelengths.
Multi-Busbar Design:
16-busbar technology (select models) maximizes current collection while reducing resistive losses. More busbars distribute electrical stress, significantly reducing the risk of micro-cracks during shipping, installation, and thermal cycling.
Bifacial Architecture:
Glass-glass construction with transparent backsheet captures reflected light from the ground and surrounding environment. In ideal conditions (ground-mounted, white gravel, snow cover), bifacial panels can increase total energy yield by 10-30%.
Half-Cut Cells:
Reduces current by half, lowering resistive losses and improving performance in partial shading scenarios. Lower current also means reduced operating temperature, enhancing reliability and lifespan.
Large Wafer Format:
182mm (Tiger Neo) and 166mm (Tiger Pro) silicon wafers enable higher power output per panel, reducing balance-of-system costs (racking, wiring, labor) for large installations.
