The new Tiger Neo adopts N-type TOPCon technology with further enhancements in performance, power, energy density and reliability. In mass production, the new module delivers a maximum power output of up to 620 watts and an ultra-high conversion efficiency of up to 22.30 per cent.
JinkoSolar's N-type TOPCon technology provides about 5 per cent to 6 per cent more efficiency than mono PERC and about 3 per cent to 4 per cent more energy generation. Mass produced from 182mm wafers, the new Tiger Neo modules feature Multi-Busbar (MBB) and half-cut cell technology to reduce internal resistance loss, and the circular solder strip design increases optical gain so that the module has an ultra-high efficiency of up to 22.30 per cent.
Higher bifacial factor
Tiger Neo's bifacial factor of up to 85 per cent is a great advantage because it allows about 5 per cent to 15 per cent higher energy yield compared to conventional P-type bifacial modules in its life-time period. A higher bifacial factor also improves its power generation capacity and power generation efficiency.
Thanks to less LID and LeTID risks, JinkoSolar provides an industry-leading 30-year linear power output guarantee. The degradation in the first year has been claimed to be less than 1 per cent and power output is guaranteed to be no less than 87.40 per cent of the nominal power output after 30 years.
Lower temperature coefficient
The Tiger Neo module has a lower temperature coefficient of -0.30 per cent/℃ compared with -0.35 per cent/℃ for the P-type, which makes it more durable to withstand extreme and high-temperature environments. Its low light performance and small irradiance angle prolongs exposure time of the panel during the day. Combining the advantages of low-temperature coefficient, low degradation, and high bifacial factor, these qualities enable an annual energy yield which is 3 per cent higher than that of mainstream P-type bifacial modules.

With higher efficiency, higher bifacial factor, lower degradation, lower working temperatures and better low irradiance performance, JinkoSolar's leading N-type TOPCon technology is touted to become the industry's next-generation of mainstream technology after the mono PERC. (mfo)
