A strong proponent of the n-type TOPCon technology, JinkoSolar plans to continue its focus on this technology as its mainstream product till at least 2027, according to the company’s future strategy, aligned with the global development of n-type monocrystalline. After 2028, the industry is expected to enter mass production of tandem cells with an expected efficiency of around 33%.
Sharing the company’s 2025 product outlook at the TaiyangNews High Efficiency Solar Technologies 2024 conference, JinkoSolar’s Product Manager Leo Cong said that the company, using ME technology, targets to increase solar cell efficiency to around 27% by 2025. Under its main technology route HOT 4.0, it targets to increase cell efficiency by up to 28% from early next year.
From 2025 onward, the solar PV manufacturer plans to move to 210R for its new products using a 48-cell configuration for residential, 54- and 66-cell for commercial and industrial (C&I), and 66-cell for utility-scale products under its Tiger Neo series. The three advantaged products will also be designed using dual-glass with higher hail resistance to withstand 55 mm hail impact, high wind load resistance, and high fire rating class, catering to various market needs, such as the US.
For its upcoming Tiger Neo 3.0 TOPCon solar module with up to 670 W output and 24.8% efficiency, JinkoSolar plans to use its patented n-type TOPCon technology including HCP, MAX.
Orders for this module series will be accepted from Q4 2025, starting with small scale, and going to large-scale and utility-scale in Q1 2026.
