JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, recently officially launched the “Sunny 365” Smart PV-Storage System—a solution tailored for the manufacturing industry. This solution deeply integrates high-efficiency photovoltaics, smart energy storage, and AI-driven dispatch to help manufacturing enterprises in sectors such as textiles, cement, steel, home appliances, home textiles, apparel, electronics, hardware, machinery, and construction vehicles—a complete energy system ranging from on-site generation and self-consumption of green electricity to precise demand management and emergency backup power, thereby reshaping the energy infrastructure of industrial production.
As photovoltaic and energy storage applications become increasingly widespread, more and more manufacturing enterprises are utilizing idle rooftop space to build their own dedicated photovoltaic and energy storage projects. However, they have long faced four major challenges: a lack of standardization in product selection, difficulties in matching photovoltaic and storage systems, high coordination costs, and cumbersome post-installation operation and maintenance. Procuring modules, energy storage systems, and other software and hardware separately, while integrating technical resources from multiple vendors, results in lengthy cycles and significant investment, keeping the barriers to implementing photovoltaic and energy storage projects high for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.
JinkoSolar’s “Sunny 365” Smart PV-Storage System series—specifically the Manufacturing PV-Storage Solution—directly addresses these industry challenges by providing an integrated PV + energy storage + smart management solution. This solution goes beyond single-component PV or energy storage configurations. Centered around the Tiger Neo 3.0 high-efficiency PV modules and the SunGiga G2 commercial and industrial liquid-cooled energy storage system, it deeply integrates AI-powered intelligent dispatch algorithms with the JinkoCloud platform to provide the manufacturing sector with a scenario-based, standardized, and replicable one-stop energy solution.
Addressing Energy Consumption Pain Points with Standardized Capacity Configurations
To address core challenges faced by manufacturing plants—such as high electricity costs, stringent requirements for continuous production, and significant load fluctuations—the solution offers standardized capacity configuration models covering three major industries.
These plants are high-voltage dedicated transformer users operating at 10 kV or higher, with production loads significantly higher during daytime and on weekdays than at night or on holidays. “Roof-mounted PV + consumer-side energy storage” is one of the most economically viable scenarios, featuring a high proportion of self-consumed PV power, while energy storage enables peak-valley arbitrage, demand response, and distribution capacity relief.
Key challenges in electricity consumption include the high proportion of electricity costs in manufacturing expenses, as well as the significant impact of peak-hour and super-peak electricity rates on production costs; power rationing or load shedding disrupts continuous production, and production line downtime losses may far exceed the electricity costs themselves; short-term load spikes may lead to insufficient transformer capacity, and capacity expansion involves long lead times and high investment costs; while rooftop resources are abundant, PV output does not perfectly align with production loads, requiring energy storage to improve integration and maximize returns.
High-Efficiency Solar-to-Storage Products: Reducing Costs and Boosting Efficiency in the Manufacturing Industry
1. Feihu 3 Modules: The Champion of Rooftop Power Generation
As a high-efficiency module product from JinkoSolar, the Feihu 3 features seven core advantages specifically designed for manufacturing rooftops:
High Power Output: With a power output of up to 670W and a conversion efficiency of 24.8%, it generates more electricity per square meter of rooftop space;
Ultra-High Bifaciality: Bifaciality reaches 85% ± 5%, far exceeding the national standard of 75%, efficiently capturing ground and ambient scattered light;
Excellent Temperature Coefficient: As low as -0.26%/°C, resulting in minimal power loss at high temperatures;
Extremely Low Linear Degradation: 1% degradation in the first year, followed by only -0.35% per year thereafter, ensuring power generation returns throughout the 30-year lifecycle;
Exceptional Low-Irradiance Performance: Power generation gains of over 4% compared to competing products of the same power rating under conditions such as cloudy or rainy days, and at dawn and dusk;
2. SunGiga G2 Energy Storage System: Quadruple Safety Protection
The energy storage system positions robust safety as its core competitive advantage:
Material-Level Thermal Isolation: A nano-insulation layer is embedded between battery cells to prevent the spread of thermal runaway in a single cell;
Electrical-Level Armor: Full-metal encasement combined with flexible circuit boards eliminates short circuits and fires at the physical source;
Multi-Sensor Fusion for Rapid Fire Suppression: The system employs multi-dimensional joint detection and is equipped with a perfluorohexane gas fire suppression solution, silently containing emergencies within seconds;
Full-Stack Early Warning: The BMS monitors abnormal cells in real time, shifting from “reactive repairs” to “proactive prevention.”
