SHANGHAI, Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar
Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) (the "Company," or "JinkoSolar"), a
global leader in the solar PV industry, today announced that its
practical sized (245.83cm2) P-type multi-crystalline
silicon solar cells reached the world's highest conversion
efficiency of 22.04%. It is the second time that JinkoSolar has
broken this world record since October
2016.
JinkoSolar's record-breaking multi-crystalline silicon solar
cell was manufactured on a high quality boron doped mc-Si
substrate. Advanced texturing, passivation and anti-LID
technologies were integrated into the passivated emitter rear
contact (PERC) structure to achieve the new 22.04% world record.
The new world record was independently confirmed by Fraunhofer ISE
Germany and broke JinkoSolar's previous record of 21.63% one year
ago.
"This is the first time that conversion efficiency for P-type
mc-Si PERC cells exceeded the 22% efficiency mark which I believe
will serve as a guideline developing higher efficiency products,"
commented by Dr. Jin Hao, Vice
President of JinkoSolar. "The entire manufacturing chain is
comprised of low-cost industrial processes and will be gradually
transferred into mass production. Leveraging our high-efficiency
solar cells, we will continue to develop advanced manufacturing
techniques to reduce the cost of PV products."
