JinkoSolar’s High-efficiency N-Type Cell Continues To Set Efficiency Records at 25.7% Now

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (Jinko Solar), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world has announced that it has achieved a major technical breakthrough for its 182 mm high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell. JinkoSolar has set a new world record again with the maximum solar conversion efficiency of 25.7% for its large-size monocrystalline silicon TOPCon solar cell. This result has been independently confirmed by the National Institute of Metrology, China (“NIM”).

The record-breaking monocrystalline silicon solar cell was fabricated on a high quality CZ Mono-Si substrate. High temperature gettering, advanced diffusion, semi-transparent metallization, JinkoSolar’s self-developed HOT technologies, and a series of material upgrades were integrated into the cell process to set this new world record for maximum conversion efficiency of 25.7%, compared with the record set last October reaching 25.4%.

Dr. Jin Hao, CTO of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., commented, “We are very proud to set another world record for the N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell. It is a major breakthrough for our N-type TOPCon cell technology and an important milestone in our development of innovative products and solutions. We are constantly investing in technology upgrades to achieve cost-effective mass production, and increase the competitiveness of our N-type products in the market. Our global clients trust our cutting-edge technology and reliable supply chain. We are well-positioned to lead the industry with innovative products and provide our customers with higher returns on their projects.”

With Jinko’s cell development far closer to market launch than other record making claims that are at laboratory stage currently, the results give Jinko Solar a significant advantage in going to market faster with higher efficiency cells. Importantly, the technology involved here is an incremental change over existing technology, again making the transition from tests to manufacturing faster for a large scale manufacturer like Jinko Solar.
