JinkoSolar has announced a new conversion efficiency record for its 182mm N-type TOPCon solar panel. TÜV SÜD said it achieved a conversion efficiency of 25.42%.
“This further strengthens our confidence that N-type TOPCon technology is the most competitive technology choice in terms of sustainability and, as a result, has significant growth potential,” the Chinese PV module manufacturer said. “The laboratory result has the practical basis to be quickly introduced into mass production and technically set the direction for mass production of subsequent advanced products.”
Hao Jin, CTO of JinkoSolar, said the company will continue to invest in R&D innovation and mass production capabilities. The manufacturer has now broken an efficiency record for the second time in a month 33.24% efficiency assessment for its perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells at the end of May.
In January, JinkoSolar said it had granted N-type TOPCon technology patents to a number of unnamed solar module companies in exchange for licensing fees. More recently, the company said solar panel shipments reached 78.5 GW in 2023. The company has also broken ground on a 56 GW solar panel factory in China’s Shanxi province.
