JinkoSolar Mono Solar Cells Reach Record Efficiency of 24.79%

The maximum solar conversion efficiency of the large-area N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cells of JinkoSolar reached a record high of 24.79%

JinkoSolar, one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, has announced that the maximum solar conversion efficiency of its large-area N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cells reached 24.79 percent, and have set a world record for large-size contact-passivated solar cells. This result was independently confirmed by the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin (ISFH), Germany.

The solar manufacturers’ R&D teams of experts in silicon wafer, solar cells and solar modules have made significant breakthroughs in the field of high efficiency and high power of cells and modules for many years.

The record-breaking mono-crystalline silicon solar cell was fabricated on a high-quality CZ mono-Si substrate, with a practical size of 267.72 cm2, and several advanced technologies have been implemented to achieve this new record of 24.79 percent, including passivating contact technologies, advanced diffusion system, surface passivation and advanced anti-reflection technologies, and a series of material upgrade were integrated into the cell process. The record-breaking mono-crystalline silicon solar cell will be gradually applied to product production.

“JinkoSolar has reached a key R&D milestone and our commitment towards technological innovation in silicon material, cell fabrication and module processing technologies has led to multiple world records for the efficiency of solar cells and modules. We are very proud to break the world record with advanced large-area N-type cell in the world, and this innovative cell technology also holds the world record for PV module efficiency,” said Dr. Jin Hao, CTO of JinkoSolar. “We will constantly invest in upgrading technologies to achieve mass production, and to lead the way by providing high efficiency and competitive industrial products for our global customers.”

Recently, we had reported that JinkoSolar had won its 6th All Quality Matters Award for PV Module Energy Yield Simulation (Mono Group) at the Solar Congress 2020 organised by TÜV Rheinland.
