JinkoSolar launched its Tiger Neo 5.0 module with up to 700 W output and 25.91% efficiency
The company introduced 6 application-specific module variants targeting data centers, hail-prone regions, transportation infrastructure, and load-constrained rooftops
JinkoSolar also unveiled the 7.76 MWh SunTera G5 ESS and highlighted a perovskite-TOPCon tandem cell featuring 34.82% efficiency
Ahead of SNEC 2026, JinkoSolar unveiled a new generation of PV and energy storage products during its New Product Launch and Media Briefing in Shanghai on June 2. The announcements included the flagship Tiger Neo 5.0 module, 6 scenario-specific PV products, and the SunTera G5 battery energy storage system (BESS). This event was also the first public appearance of the company's new CEO, Charlie Cao.
Among the key launches was the Tiger Neo 5.0 module. According to JinkoSolar, the TOPCon-based Tiger Neo 5.0 delivers 30 W more power than the previous generation, reaching 700 W and 25.91% efficiency. The company said the module incorporates a high-purity homogeneous silicon substrate, a broad-spectrum light-trapping structure, all-area passivation, and gap-free crystal array packaging. JinkoSolar says this module’s 700 W power output moves TOPCon technology from 670 W into the 700 W-plus era.
JinkoSolar also introduced a range of scenario-specific modules, including dust-resistant, artificial intelligence data center (AIDC), hail-resistant, anti-glare, rooftop, and desert modules.
The Dust-Resistant module incorporates a 3-dimensional dust-proof design and nano-coated glass. The AIDC module is designed for data center applications and is claimed to increase lifetime power generation by more than 3% while reducing system risk costs. Other additions include the Safety Guardian module, which is designed to withstand 55 mm hailstones and carries dual Class A fire safety certification; the Anti-Glare module for transportation-related installations; the lightweight Light Diamond module for load-restricted rooftops; and the Mount Tai module designed for harsh environments such as deserts and wastelands.
The company also highlighted progress in cell technology. Xinyu Zhang, Vice President of R&D at JinkoSolar, said ongoing TOPCon development is focused on improvements in wafer quality, cell architecture, materials, and metallization. He identified silver-coated copper as a potential pathway to lower metallization costs while maintaining reliability. Zhang also announced a certified efficiency of 34.82% for JinkoSolar's perovskite-TOPCon tandem cell.
In energy storage, JinkoSolar unveiled the SunTera G5 system with a rated capacity of 7.76 MWh. The product uses a cell-to-pack design and achieves an energy density of 570 kWh/m² within a standard 20-foot container. JinkoSolar also reported a round-trip efficiency exceeding 96%. The system is intended for applications including industrial parks, renewable energy integration, AI data centers, and grid-side energy storage.
