JinkoSolar launches high performance AIDC solar panels tailored for data centre energy demand – Green Building Africa


JinkoSolar has announced the global launch of its AIDC photovoltaic modules, a new product line developed specifically to meet the fast growing energy demands of data centres and AI driven infrastructure.
Unveiled in Shanghai on March 20, the modules are built on the company’s Tiger Neo 3.0 TOPCon technology platform and are designed for a wide range of applications including conventional data centres, AI data centres, GPU clusters, supercomputing facilities and semiconductor manufacturing plants.
The launch comes as operators seek reliable and cost effective clean energy solutions to support high intensity computing workloads while advancing decarbonisation targets.
At the core of the new offering is a focus on maximising energy yield and minimising lifecycle costs. The modules achieve front side efficiency of 24.8% or higher, with power output reaching 670 W or more. This allows operators to generate more electricity within limited space, improving land and rooftop utilisation while reducing LCOE over the project lifecycle.
A key differentiator is the module’s high bifaciality of 85% ± 5%, enabled by TOPCon cell architecture. Under favourable ground reflectance conditions, total output can reach up to 844 W for a 670 W module, effectively delivering 1.26 W of generation capacity for every 1 W of installed front side power. This feature is particularly advantageous in high reflectivity environments such as deserts and snow covered regions, which are increasingly targeted for large scale data centre deployment.
The modules are also optimised for low irradiance performance, a critical factor for data centres that require stable and continuous power supply. In low light conditions between 100 and 200 W per square metre, power generation can increase by up to 8.93% compared to conventional back contact modules. Even in extreme low light scenarios such as fog or shading, output remains stable at 95% to 98%, extending generation hours and improving alignment with constant energy demand profiles.
Safety and reliability are central to the design. The modules comply with IEC 61730-2:2023 and UL 790 Class A fire safety standards, incorporating flame retardant materials rated UL 94 V-0. The system also features arc resistant junction box technology to reduce the risk of electrical faults.
To ensure resilience in harsh operating environments, the modules have passed a 55 mm hail impact test, exceeding the industry standard of 25 mm. In addition, they are rated for mechanical loads of up to 6,000 Pa on the front side and 4,000 Pa on the rear, enabling them to withstand heavy snow loads and high wind conditions typical of extreme climates.
With the introduction of the AIDC modules, JinkoSolar is targeting the convergence of digital infrastructure and clean energy, positioning its technology as a key enabler of sustainable growth in the global data centre sector.
