JinkoSolar has achieved a 24.2% record high efficiency for its n-type TOPCon monocrystalline silicon solar cell. It used large-area n-Type cell that comprises the Chinese solar module manufacturer HOT cell design with tunnel oxide passivating contact technology. This HOT cell design was also used by JinkoSolar to fabricate its n-type half-cell module based on 60 cells, which achieved a world PV module power record of 387.6 W, according to JinkoSolar.
The company says this 24.2% cell efficiency will be achieved across its entire product chain because of its N-type wafer selective emitter doping technology and advanced fine-line printing technology.
JinkoSolar's 24.2% efficiency record was tested by the Photovoltaic and Wind Power Systems Quality Test Center at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
The announcement comes only a few days after LONGi Solar claimed back a record for advanced p-type PERC solar cells from JinkoSolar (see LONGI 24.06% Efficiency PERC Cell World Record).
