On November 20, JinkoSolar hosted the grand ceremony “Defining a New Benchmark for the Market – Tiger Neo III Mass Production Launch and Global Order Signing Event.” The event gathered leading industry experts, key corporate partners, global clients, and major media to witness the historic moment of Tiger Neo III’s official mass production. A total of 15GW in global orders were signed on-site, injecting powerful momentum into the large-scale adoption of next-generation N-type TOPCon technology and the high-quality growth of the global solar industry.
Opening the ceremony, Chen Kangping, CEO of JinkoSolar, emphasized that the mass production of the Tiger Neo III represents another breakthrough for the company in driving innovation amid market homogenizations. “While the solar industry faces increasing competitive pressure,” he said, “we at JinkoSolar firmly believe that true competitiveness comes not from a race to the bottom in pricing, but from relentless innovation.” With a mass production efficiency exceeding 24.8% and power output reaching 670W, the Tiger Neo III embodies more than just a technical upgrade—it represents JinkoSolar’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-efficiency and highly reliable products to global customers, and its mission to drive the world’s transition toward clean energy.
Qian Jing, Vice President of JinkoSolar, noted that since its debut in early 2025, the Tiger Neo III has undergone nearly a year of extensive outdoor testing, with all key performance indicators meeting or exceeding expectations. “As one of the most competitive modules within the 2382mm format,” she explained, “its high-power output, superior bifaciality, and exceptional low-light performance constitute its three defining strengths.” Marking its 20th anniversary in 2026, JinkoSolar has witnessed—and continuously propelled—the evolution of the global solar industry, topping the world’s shipment rankings six times. “Looking ahead,” Qian said, “we will remain committed to our principle of ‘developing one generation, mass-producing one generation, and leading one generation’—advancing technological innovation to deliver ever greater value to our global partners.”
Four Core Breakthroughs and Six Key Advantages: Redefining the Solar Benchmark
During the technical session, JinkoSolar’s R&D team provided an in-depth overview of Tiger Neo III’s technological innovations, performance advantages, field validation, and reliability assurance.
As JinkoSolar’s latest advancement in N-type TOPCon technology, the Tiger Neo III achieves remarkable performance gains through four core technological breakthroughs:
- Multi-busbar technology that optimizes current transmission and minimizes losses.
- Edge passivation and enhanced metallization techniques that boost cell efficiency by an additional 0.5%.
- Pattern-enhancement design that reduces contact resistance and parasitic absorption.
Together, these innovations drive a significant leap in module power output.
The product also features six key advantages:
- Front-side power of 650–670W.
- Bifaciality up to 85±5%.
- Ultra-low annual degradation of only –0.35%.
- Temperature coefficient as low as –0.26%/°C.
- Enhanced shading and hot-spot resistance.
- Stable 95%–98% relative power output even under 200W/m² irradiance, with multiple models adaptable across diverse scenarios.
JinkoSolar’s technological leadership is further underscored by its intellectual property and efficiency records. To date, the company has filed over 5,500 patents worldwide, with more than 3,100 granted, making it one of the most patent-rich enterprises in the global PV sector. JinkoSolar has also broken 31 world records in cell efficiency and module output. Its N-type TOPCon-based tandem cell recently achieved a record efficiency of 34.22%, while its N-type single-junction cells continue to lead the industry—laying a solid foundation for the high performance of the Tiger Neo III.
A New Chapter in Solar Efficiency
In the presence of distinguished guests, JinkoSolar officially announced the mass production launch of the Tiger Neo III, marking its transition from R&D to full-scale global commercialization.
At the Global Order Signing Ceremony, JinkoSolar signed agreements totaling 15GW with partners including China Energy Engineering Group, GoSolar (Australia), MesolSolar (Pakistan), DMM Group (Japan), and major Chinese distributors. This milestone underscores both the market’s strong confidence in Tiger Neo III and the surging global demand for high-efficiency PV products. Covering applications from utility-scale power plants to distributed PV systems, JinkoSolar reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring on-time, high-quality delivery through its Haining production hub, global manufacturing footprint, and comprehensive service network—helping partners seize opportunities in the fast-growing new energy market.
The event also featured the “Tiger Neo III Global Outdoor Reliability Certification Ceremony.” Leading international institutions—including China General Certification (CQC), TÜV NORD, TÜV Rheinland, and SGS—will conduct systematic performance tests on energy yield stability, durability, and safety. The organizations will regularly publish data reports, providing global clients with authoritative benchmarks for selecting premium PV products.
Empowering the Industry: Insight, Innovation, and Shared Growth
Parallel to the ceremony, renowned experts and enterprise leaders engaged in insightful discussions on emerging trends and future pathways for the solar industry.
Zhang Xinyu, Vice President of R&D at JinkoSolar, delivered a keynote titled “The Iteration and Future Evolution of N-type PV Technology.” He noted that the core advantages of N-type technology stem from innovations in materials and structure, and that performance improvements are accelerating. “JinkoSolar has broken 31 world records in N-type TOPCon cell efficiency,” Zhang said, “achieving a maximum conversion efficiency of 27.02%, while our perovskite/TOPCon tandem cell has reached an impressive 34.76%, approaching the theoretical limit.” He added that JinkoSolar continues to push the efficiency boundaries of TOPCon while actively advancing next-generation perovskite tandem technologies to sustain breakthroughs in solar efficiency.
Zhang Jinxia, Senior Engineer at the China Electric Power Planning and Engineering Institute, analyzed opportunities and challenges facing the solar industry during the upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan. She emphasized that while China continues to lead the world in installed capacity, manufacturing capability, and technological innovation, it now faces new challenges in grid integration, trade restrictions, and efficiency bottlenecks. Looking ahead to 2035, she forecast three major trends: technological diversification, balanced supply-demand development, and more diversified application models—with high-efficiency crystalline silicon remaining dominant while tandem technologies accelerate toward commercialization.
Wang Shujuan, founder of Zhihui Photovoltaic, presented insights on the “Outlook for China’s Distributed PV and Storage Market.” She highlighted that policy initiatives are driving the marketization of green power, with PV-plus-storage, direct green power supply, and integrated source-grid-load-storage systems emerging as dominant models. “Products offering high conversion efficiency and broad scenario adaptability,” she said, “will gain a distinct competitive edge, as load demand becomes the decisive factor shaping project profitability.”
Two panel discussions further animated the event. The first— “Maximizing Energy Yield: New Value Propositions for Utility-Scale Plants”—explored strategies for efficiency improvement, cost optimization, and value enhancement through innovation. The second— “Low-Light Performance: Unlocking Distributed PV’s Next Growth Frontier”—focused on how superior low-light response can redefine the value of distributed PV projects by improving investment returns.
The successful launch and global order signing of the Tiger Neo III marks not only a major technological and commercial milestone for JinkoSolar, but also a broader signal of the industry’s transition toward high-efficiency, cost-effective, and sustainable solar solutions. Going forward, JinkoSolar will continue to drive progress with technological innovation, large-scale manufacturing, and premium service, empowering partners worldwide and contributing to the realization of the global carbon neutrality goals.
