SHANGHAI, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding
Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) (the "Company," or "JinkoSolar"), a global
leader in the solar photovoltaic industry, today announced that it
has broken multiple solar technology world records. In an attempt
independently verified by the Chinese Academy of Science Testing
Laboratory, JinkoSolar broke the existing world record by achieving
conversion efficiency of 22.78% on P-type monocrystalline PERC
solar cells. This marks the second time in 2017 that JinkoSolar has
broken a world record in solar cell conversion efficiency after
achieving the 22.04% conversion efficiency record on P-type
polycrystalline PERC solar earlier in the year. These recent
milestones follow JinkoSolar's earlier successes verified by
TUV Rheinland where the company
achieved a P-type 60-cell monocrystalline module output of 356.5 W
and a P-type 60-cell polycrystalline module output of 347.6 W.
JinkoSolar's improvement in P-type PERC solar cell conversion
efficiency was enabled by the application of several advanced cell
technologies, including high quality P-type silicon wafer and bulk
passivation technology, multi-layer ARC technology, selective
emitter technology, and fine-finger metallization technology. Among
the various techniques utilized, the application of the selective
emitter structure and fine-finger metallization significantly
minimized the energy losses caused by recombination. The open
circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the solar cell was
also greatly improved as a result. The utilization of advanced
multi-layer ARC technology, an innovation developed by JinkoSolar,
made further contributions to the efficiency increase. Ultimately,
the solar module power output improvement was achieved by cell
efficiency increases, cell-to-module electrical optimization, and
internal light management techniques.
Mr. Kangping Chen, CEO of
JinkoSolar, commented, "Driven by the rapid development of the
solar technical and commercial landscape in recent years,
JinkoSolar has utilized its technical leadership as a springboard
to make jumps in the global industry. We've also greatly
strengthened our leadership position in terms of photovoltaic
research and development with an advanced manufacturing process,
faster mass production speeds, and better quality control than our
peers. These advantages have allowed JinkoSolar to reach
unprecedented heights in terms of module shipment numbers.
JinkoSolar remains committed to advancing its research and
development program. We plan to apply what we've learned from our
successful world record attempts in a test production environment.
We will then rapidly seek the mass application of our new
technologies to further bring down the cost per watt of our
modules. I am confident that JinkoSolar will become the industry
leader in both research and development and advanced
manufacturing."
