Chinese solar panel manufacturer JinkoSolar will supply approximately 3 GW of its tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar panels to Saudi Arabia after signing a supply agreement with Acwa Power.
The contract includes two sub-projects within the Saudi PIF4 project group, which is supported by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). The first, the 1.2 GW Haden photovoltaic solar power plant, will use JinkoSolar’s n-type Tiger Neo series 78 solar panels. The project is contracted by the China Energy Engineering Group Consortium.
The second project, the 1.8 GW Al-Khushaybi power plant project, contracted by Indian company L&T, will use JinkoSolar’s latest n-type Tiger Neo series 66 solar panels.
A statement from JinkoSolar said the Tiger Neo modules have demonstrated excellent low degradation rates, low temperature coefficients and high reliability, ensuring high performance under the high irradiation, high temperatures and frequent sandstorms of Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this year, JinkoSolar and Acwa Power signed a package of framework agreements for cooperation, which will see the two companies collaborate on solar energy projects worldwide.
In October 2023, the two companies announced a 3.8 GW supply agreement for two solar projects in Saudi Arabia.
