JinkoSolar has announced that it has achieved a major technical breakthrough for its 182mm high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline silicon solar cell, setting a new maximum conversion efficiency record of 26.4%, a result independently validated by China’s National Institute of Metrology.
Cell manufacturer SolarSpace has announced the inauguration of the first phase of a 16GW TOPCon cell factory in China’s Anhui province, with the installation and commissioning of the latest cutting-edge production equipment.
JinkoSolar has announced that the conversion efficiency of its 182 mm N-type module has reached 23.86%, improving on the previous record of 23.53%, also set by Jinko in July 2021, the result being independently validated by TÜV Rheinland.
Norway-based solar manufacturer REC Group has begun production of its new REC N-Peak 3 Black Series of rooftop solar panels, the third generation of its n-type TOPCon cell-based solar panels.
JinkoSolar has announced that its n-type TOPCon cell has achieved an average efficiency of up to 25% in mass production, making the company the first module manufacturer to reach a 10GW scale cell capacity at that efficiency level. Based on this, the rated power of Jinko’s n-type Tiger Neo module containing 144 half-cut cells can reach 590W with a maximum efficiency of up to 22.84%.
