Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member JinkoSolar said it was the first to have passed the IEC 61701 Ed. 3 (FDIS) certification with its latest mainstream high-performance ‘Tiger Pro’ PV modules. The tests were conducted by TÜV NORD.

Dr. Hao Jin, Chief Technology Officer of JinkoSolar said: “As a highly innovative module supplier, we are constantly innovating and improving our high-efficiency products to set standards for the industry going forward. CX testing conditions are closest to reproducing some of the harshest real-world environments and were recently applied to IEC 61701 Ed. 3 (FDIS) certification having originally been designed for automobile parts and coating.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 13-14 October 2026 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023, 2024 and 2025 were a sell out success and 2026 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
