German testing and certification agency TUV Rheinland has independently tested and confirmed JinkoSolar's claims of achieving efficiency of 23.86% for its 182mm n-type module that's equipped with the company's own large size monocrystalline silicon TOPCon solar cell with 26.1% efficiency (see 26.1% Efficiency For JinkoSolar's N-Type Silicon Cell).
The module adopted JinkoSolar's latest TOPCon cell technology and advanced interconnection approach and achieved conversion efficiency of '23.86% for the first time for 2 mm2 above large-size solar modules', claims JinkoSolar.
According to the company, the advanced interconnection technology and layout effectively brings down internal resistance loss of the module thereby significantly improving conversion efficiency.
The 23.86% efficiency exceeds the company's previous module efficiency record of 23.53% efficiency for n-type modules, announced in July 2021. While the module is not a commercial product, the Chinese company says this lab result lays the 'practical foundation' for the module to be introduced into mass production and also 'technically' sets the direction for mass production of subsequent advanced products.
JinkoSolar stands on 3rd spot on TaiyangNews Top Solar Module Listing for October 2022 with its Tiger Neo TOPCon module with an efficiency of 22.65% and power rating of 585 W (see Top Solar Modules Listing—October 2022).
Oscar Zhang, the general manager of R&D at JinkoSolar will attend TaiyangNews' flagship annual event, a Virtual Conference on High Efficiency Solar Technologies—TOPCon, HJT and Beyond, Today & Tomorrow, to be held between November 23-25, 2022. He will speak about mass production of n-type TOPCon technology and share GW scale experiences. Registrations for the event are free, and open here.
