JinkoSolar Showcases High Tech Panel Offerings At SNEC 2021

The 15th SNEC International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition was held in Shanghai, China, on June 3-5, 2021. At the exhibition, several solar firms launched their new products, which predominantly reflect trends and developments across multiple markets. 

One of the largest solar panel manufacturers worldwide, JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. unveiled some of its new products too. That includes Tiger Pro 415W, which is its first 400+ watt solar panel designed for the residential market. To proffer an insight into the Tiger Pro 415, JinkoSolar plans to produce an in-depth new product review to detail many of the key and unique features of the system after SNEC.

In addition, JinkoSolar showcased a new N-type TOPCon solar panel based on a 182” cell that achieves a power output of up to 625watt peak (Wp), with 22.86 percent of module efficiency. This utility-scale level solar panel is setting a new world record in the class of its size, according to Jinko. 

TOPCon refers to a PERC (passivated emitter and rear contact) cell architecture, which passivates the cell contacts – Tunnel-Oxide Passivated Contacts, hence the name. 

JinkoSolar is preparing for the next wave of cell line upgrades. Its latest efficiency record of 25.25 percent is based on N-type TOPCon. JinkoSolar’s PERC capacity could reach 37 GW by the end of this year, plus or minus 1 GW depending on TOPCon which is an upgrade of this existing capacity to the next efficiency level of up to 24.5 percent, as per the company’s claims. In fact, this was just one of the many N type cells that took centre stage this year. 

Another product showcased at the SNEC was JinkoSolar’s SWAN high efficiency, half-cut, monocrystalline bifacial module, which has a 555 Watt power rating, a 30-year lifespan, and is available in transparent backsheet or dual-glass bifacial options.
