JinkoSolar launched N-type ultra-efficient Tiger Neo modules
The JinkoSolar new Tiger Neo modules offers ultra-high conversion efficiency of up to 22.30 % with a maximum power output of 620W.
JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JinkoSolar), a leading solar module manufacturer in the world, announced its new 2021 Flagship Tiger Neo Modules on Nov. 2. With N-type TOPCon technology, the New Tiger Neo offers enhanced performance, power, energy density, and reliability improvements. With ultra-high conversion efficiency of up to 22.30 percent, the new module delivers a maximum power output of 620W into mass production.
Improved Performance
According to the company release, Jinkosolar’s N-type TOPCon technology is about 5% to 6% more efficient than mono PERC and generates about 3% to 4% more energy. The new Tiger Neo modules are mass-produced from 182mm wafers, and feature Multi-Busbar (MBB) and half-cut cell technologies to reduce internal resistance loss, while the circular solder strip design allows for a 22.30% efficiency gain.
As a result of its high bifacial factor of up to 85%, Tiger Neo’s life-time energy yield is 5% to 15% more than that of conventional P-type modules, in addition to an increase in power generation capacity and efficiency.
Improved durability
JinkoSolar provides an industry-leading 30-year linear power output guarantee due to the lower risks associated with LID and LeTID. According to the manufacturer, the degradation rate in the first year is less than 1%, and the power output after 30 years is guaranteed to be at least 87.40%.
In comparison with the temperature coefficient of -0.35% / ℃ for P-type module, the Tiger Neo has a lower temperature coefficient of -0.30% / °C, which makes it stronger and more resistant to extreme and high-temperature environments.
The panel’s low-light performance and small irradiance angle extend its generation period during the day. Due to the advantages of low temperature coefficient, low degradation, and high bi-facial factor being combined together, the annual energy yield is 3% higher than that of mainstream P-type bifacial modules.
Next-generation technology
In light of these factors, JinkoSolar’s N-type TOPCon technology could be the next-generation mainstream industrial technology after mono PERC. Moreover, a technical breakthrough in process technology has allowed JinkoSolar to maintain a competitive positioning in terms of N-type manufacturing costs and yield rates.
According to Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar Co., Ltd., “The global PV market is entering a new era of energy generation at a rapid pace. Different energy application scenarios and the urgency of government and various industries for energy transformation have pushed the solar power demand to an all-time high. Tiger Neo’s flagship line is designed to meet the needs of large-scale utilities, industrial and commercial distributed generation, and residential applications alike.”
He further added that “Customers can benefit from the advantages of N-type TOPCon technology by investing in more efficient, more reliable, and more profitable solar PV systems. Tiger Neo modules will continue to set new industry standards, and will facilitate the growth of the global solar industry so that more people can benefit from clean energy solutions in the future.”
