Products

Jinko Solar offers both polycrystalline and monocrystalline photovoltaic modules. In early 2016, the company introduced Eagle Black and Eagle Dual modules. The Eagle Black module is a nano-scale etched module that has high light-absorption rate of 99.7 percent, improved production when light hits at an angle during dawn and dusk and outperforms standard panels on cloudy days.[7] The Eagle Dual is a dual-glass module that has low degradation rates and comes with a 30-year warranty.[8] The company also offers 1,500 volt utility-scale modules.

Technology

JinkoSolar operates one of the industry’s largest R&D centers and UL certified module testing facilities with over 250 scientists and solar experts.

Now, JinkoSolar holds the world record for P-type Poly PERC and Mono PERC cell efficiency at 22.04%[9] and 23.95%[10] respectively. JinkoSolar also announced that the 60P version of its P-type PV module peak power broke the world record again with power exceeding 370w and the N-type PV module peak power reaching 378.6w.[11]
