JinkoSolar’s TOPCon Module Reaches Highest Conversion Efficiency of 23.86%

JinkoSolar Holding Co, that claims to be one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, has announced that the maximum solar conversion efficiency of JinkoSolar’s 182 mm N-type module has reached 23.86%, refreshing the record of 23.53% for N-type module, also set by JinkoSolar, in July 2021. JinkoSolar said that this follows the record of maximum solar conversion efficiency of 26.1% recently set by its 182 mm and above large-size monocrystalline silicon TOPCon solar cell.

The manufacturer held that the result was independently tested and confirmed by TÜV Rheinland, one of the world’s leading testing service providers on internationally recognized safety and quality standards.

The official statement by JinkoSolar said that the module adopted its latest TOPCon cell technology and advanced welding and packaging technology and achieved conversion efficiency of 23.86% for the first time for 2 mm2 above large-size solar modules. The advanced welding and packaging technology effectively reduces the internal resistance loss of the module, while significantly improving conversion efficiency.

Also, the lab result has the practical foundation to be introduced into mass production, and technically set the direction for mass production of subsequent advanced products.

Dr. Hao Jin, CTO, JinkoSolar, commented, “We are pleased to make another breakthrough in module conversion efficiency, leveraging our accumulated experience and continuous efforts in N-type technology R&D and mass production. It is both recognition and incentive for our R&D capabilities. We will drive industrial progress through constant technical upgrades in product structure, materials and processes, catering to clients’ demands for high-efficient and more reliable N-type products.”

Jin said that as the advantages of N-type products are further recognized by the market, we are confident to lead the industry with increasing penetration and cost-effective performance.”

JinkoSolar is one of the largest solar module manufacturers globally and it has 14 productions facilities globally and 21 overseas subsidiaries in countries including India. The company declared on November 14 that renewable energy is providing more than 51 per cent of the power used by its facilities around the world.
