JinkoSolar has announced the launch of the first of its ‘Neo Green’ modules to be produced with renewable energy. The N-type TOPCon Tiger Neo panels are produced at factories certified as ‘zero carbon’ by TÜV Rheinland, with Jinko now the first company in the industry with factories classified as zero carbon for ingot manufacturing, wafer cutting and cell and module manufacturing.
The initial 5GW capacity of Neo Green is the result of years of R&D, as well as the adoption of an environmentally conscious approach across the company’s vertically integrated supply chain, including the use of solar, hydro and wind generated electricity in its wafer, cell and module factories in Leshan, Chuxiong and Shangrao. As part of its broader environmental efforts, in addition to the objective of reaching 100% of electricity produced from renewable sources for manufacturing and production, Jinko will continue to extend the use of recycled materials and increase the use of electric trucks and LNG-powered ships.
VP Dany Qian commented: “We are extremely proud to be able to release our first Neo Green modules, representing tangible evidence of our commitment to sustainability. Our biggest impact on the environment will always come from providing customers with sustainable products and solutions which reflect the shared values of our customers, partners and investors.”
