Recently, S&P Global, a leading international research organization, released its 2026 “Tier 1 Clean Technology Companies” list. JinkoSolar successfully made the Tier 1 list of PV module suppliers after meeting all criteria across six key dimensions: market influence, cumulative shipments, production capacity, global footprint, financial stability, and sustainability. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received this recognition, following the inaugural list in 2025.
The S&P Global Tier 1 list is renowned for its transparent, data-driven methodology. Compared to 2025, the 2026 assessment criteria incorporated credit risk (the RiskGauge™ framework) into the core financial performance metrics for the first time.
Proven Strength, Industry Benchmark
Leveraging its full-industry-chain advantages, JinkoSolar significantly exceeded the benchmark across all six evaluation dimensions, with multiple core indicators ranking among the top tier. The company even took first place in the two key dimensions of cumulative shipments and sustainability.
As a leader in N-type TOPCon technology, JinkoSolar has set 33 world records for solar cell efficiency and module power output, with a perovskite tandem laboratory conversion efficiency exceeding 34.82%. The company’s flagship product on the N-type TOPCon technology platform, the Tiger Neo 3.0 module, achieves a maximum power output of 670W, a conversion efficiency exceeding 24.8%, and a bifaciality of up to 90%. Thanks to its exceptional product performance, the Tiger Neo 3.0 has consistently earned recognition in key market projects worldwide. JinkoSolar’s cumulative global module shipments have exceeded 400GW, and the company has claimed the title of global sales leader seven times. The company has established multiple integrated smart manufacturing bases worldwide; ample production capacity and a global footprint continue to ensure stable supply for projects across regions. Its marketing network covers nearly 200 countries and regions, maintaining a stable market share in core markets such as Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, while deeply engaging with customers in ground-mounted power plants, commercial and industrial distributed systems, and residential PV projects.
JinkoSolar’s performance in sustainability is particularly outstanding. In the latest S&P Global CSA assessment, the company ranked first in the PV industry with a score of 78, was included in the 2026 *Global Sustainability Yearbook*, and received a special “Top 1% in China” recognition, becoming the first PV company to be listed in both the global and China editions of the yearbook for two consecutive years. In 2025, the company released its first TNFD report, upgrading its “Climate Strategy Map” to a “Nature Strategy Map”; it formally joined the UN Women’s WEPs initiative, maintaining high standards in transparency, business ethics, and supply chain management, and received an “Extremely High” rating from S&P for data transparency.
In light of the global energy transition, JinkoSolar will continue to deepen its expertise in high-efficiency PV technology. Through stable delivery, leading technology, and full-lifecycle services, the company will provide one-stop clean energy solutions to global customers, solidifying its position as a trusted industry leader and contributing to the steady implementation of carbon neutrality goals.
