Continued pressure to provide PV modules that lower balance of system (BOS) costs and yield better levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), while maintaining high durability. The focus on high-performance requires increased focus on solar cell efficiency gains and overall module reliability, resulting in the need for highly automated and quality control checks throughout the manufacturing process.

Solution

All JinkoSolar Cheetah series modules are produced in the company’s next-gen ultra-smart P5 super factory and is claimed to represent the most cutting-edge technology in solar module manufacturing. Utilizing an all new wafer and cell design, the Cheetah series includes ultra-high performing modules with its industry leading performance in metrics such as output, limited degradation, shade tolerance, and durability. The Cheetah 410Wp performance is claimed to be over 30Wp higher than that of comparable products in the industry with a conversion efficiency of 20.38%.  

Applications

Large-scale PV projects and projects with ultra-high technical requirements such as those in China’s Top Runner program. 

Platform

JinkoSolar’s entire portfolio of PV modules has passed the Potential Induced Degradation (“PID”) resistance test under the conditions of 85 Degrees Celsius/85% relative humidity (“double 85”) as required by TÜV Nord’s IEC TS 62804-1 standards. UL and IEC 1500V certified; lowers BOS costs and yields better LCOE. Certified to withstand: wind load (2400 Pascal) and snow load (5400 Pascal). High salt mist and ammonia resistance certified by TUV NORD.

Availability

Currently available on a global basis.

PV Tech has been running PV ModuleTech Conferences since 2017. PV ModuleTech USA, on 16-17 June 2026, will be our fifth PV ModulelTech conference dedicated to the U.S. utility scale solar sector. The event will gather the key stakeholders from solar developers, solar asset owners and investors, PV manufacturing, policy-making and and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out the PV module supply channels to the U.S. out to 2028 and beyond.

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.
