- Can you highlight the key features and innovations in your latest PV module designs that enhance performance and durability?
As a Leader of the PV solar industry for the past decade, and being ranked N°1 among the top players for several years in terms of volume shipped by exceeding 230GW+ until Q1-2024, Jinko Solar has driven the market in terms of technology & innovation. Back in 2022, Jinko solar was the first Company to adopt the cutting edge cell technology, the N-Type TOPcon in mass production and of course being a leader and gaining the confidence of all PV market stakeholders has led to the success of the transition process from the PERC to the N-Type TOPCon in the Solar industry because the market share for TOPCon is increasing significantly YoY and we have proudly implemented the third generation of this technology HOT 3.0 with the best technical specifications for our Tiger Neo modules such as:
– High Cell and module efficiencies reaching respectively 25.5% and 23.5% in mass production
– The best temperature coefficient of 0.29%/°C, mitigating the power losses at high temperatures
– A 30 Year Performance warranty, enhancing the durability of the PV project and optimizing its LCOE
– Bifaciality factor up to 85%, increasing the PV project energy yield by more than 3% compared to other technologies.
– Low light performance, as the TOPCon is positively sensitive to low light by producing energy early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
- What are the primary advancements in PV technology that Jinko ME is currently prioritizing to meet market demands?
Jinko Solar has been at the forefront of innovation in PV modules. With a total production capacity of 130GW, Jinko solar is diversifying the PV modules to adapt any special scenario application such as:
- Offshore modules designed for nearshore applications or lake water floating projects. With a very special and enhanced BOM, this module can withstand the harsh maritime environments with high humidity.
- Three-advantage modules with enhanced wind, hail, and fire resistance.
- The top product, Tiger Neo 66 cell rectangular wafer module, with high efficiency and cutting-edge technology N-Type TOPCon 3.0.
The Tiger Neo Green modules produced in facilities powered with 100% renewable energy sources. This is to show our commitment to different green strategies adopted worldwide such as RE100 and EP100. This process ensures a net-zero carbon footprint for Neo Green products.
- How does Jinko ensure rigorous quality control throughout the PV module lifecycle, ensuring reliability and customer satisfaction?
Being a 100% vertically integrated manufacturer, Jinko Solar has the chance to control the entire value chain from Wafer production to Cells and finally PV modules. This strategy allowed us to better optimize the manufacturing schedules and to maintain high quality control thresholds at every step in the production process, thus, to reduce defects and to ensure the best reliable PV products in the market.
Our continuous engagement to provide the best quality of products to the solar market is foregrounded by the construction of the world’s largest vertically integrated 56GW N-Type TOPCon super factory.
- What specific technological trends or features are currently driving the demand for Jinko Solar’s PV modules in the Middle East market today?
MENA region is known for its harsh weather conditions, characterized by high temperatures affecting negatively the module power output and performance, High Humidity levels and high soiling specially in desertic areas. Jinko Solar has made of these climatic challenges a priority by developing PV products suitable for such climate conditions and providing High quality Bill of Materials and cell technology. Jinko Solar Tiger Neo Modules with one of the best temperature coefficients of 0.29%/°C can mitigate significantly the power loss due to high temperatures. Furthermore, introducing a new type of encapsulant named “EVA+” with a very optimized structure and reduced acidic gases clearance during the lamination process can enhance the module withstand to the high levels of humidity and secure the module reliability over its lifetime of 30 years and more. Jinko Solar has also developed a new PV product named “Anti-Dust module” with a unique and innovative structure enabling the reduction of soiling losses up to 20%.
Providing adapted solutions to MENA solar market and mitigate the side effects of the harsh weather conditions has made of Jinko Solar, the PV supplier N°1 in Middle East and North Africa with over 16 GW of PV modules delivered until now.
- How does Jinko Middle East address challenges in integrating energy storage with solar PV in the market?
Integrating renewable energy sources into the electricity network and infrastructure on utility scale is very challenging as the renewable energies are considered as intermittent sources since they depend on the natural sources like sun and wind. The energy storage systems emerge as the solver for such problems, playing a pivotal role in overcoming the intermittency challenge and clearing the path for a clean and reliable energy system. The BESS can store the surplus of energy produced during peak generation hours and reinject it into the grid during high demand time or no generation period. Offering such flexibility to utility companies make the BESS the pioneer player in energy mix solutions with traditional power grids, Solar, Wind, geothermal…
Jinko Solar’s commitment to sustainability and its new vision of being a one-stop shop solution provider for PV+ ESS products has been put into action plan since 2020 with building new factories for ESS solutions and even production lines for our own Battery cells “Jinko Cells”.
- What is Jinko Middle East’s strategy to optimize energy production efficiency and storage effectiveness with PV and energy storage solutions?
We are seeing more and more demand for energy mix solutions with PV and BESS in the Middle East market. The reliability of our solutions in both segments to optimize energy production efficiency and storage effectiveness has made of Jinko Solar, besides its leadership position in PV, one of the top players in ESS solution providers.
We offer comprehensive BESS solutions, including system design, supply of ESS, PCS Skid & EMS, commissioning support, and LTSA up to a period of 20 years. And our global presence and historical relationships with big developers or EPCs in ME Market has enabled us to conquer the market and strengthen our position for strategic partnerships with stakeholders in the region.
By introducing one of the best versatile products in the ESS market, the SUNGIGA and SUNTERA containerized Liquid cooling with LFP battery systems, reaching capacity respectively up to 215 KWh and 5MWh, mainly designed for the C&I and Utility segments, we revolutionized the international and local renewable energy sector. We were proudly recognized by BNEF as Energy Storage Tier 1 Supplier for the second consecutive quarter.
