JinkoSolar has retained its position as the world’s leading solar module supplier after shipping 86.8 GW of photovoltaic modules in 2025, according to its latest annual report and Q1 2026 financial results.
The company said cumulative global module shipments surpassed 400 GW by the end of the first quarter of 2026. Its Tiger Neo product range alone accounted for more than 220 GW, making it the best-selling photovoltaic module series globally.
JinkoSolar attributed its continued market leadership to strong supply chain management, advances in manufacturing and product technology, and the expansion of localised distribution networks across international markets.
The company has continued to strengthen its position in N type TOPCon technology. By the end of 2025, JinkoSolar had secured more than 3,500 patents, including over 700 related to N type TOPCon technology, placing it among the global leaders in TOPCon intellectual property.
JinkoSolar also reported new efficiency milestones for its solar cell technologies. Its N type TOPCon solar cell achieved a conversion efficiency of 27.79%, while its TOPCon perovskite tandem cell reached 34.76%. The company said these achievements marked its 32nd world record for cell efficiency and module power output.
As part of its next generation technology strategy, JinkoSolar has established a joint venture with XtalPi Technology to develop what it describes as the world’s first fully closed loop experimental platform combining artificial intelligence driven decision making, robotic execution, and automated data feedback. The company expects commercial scale production of perovskite tandem cells within three years.

JinkoSolar’s flagship Tiger Neo 3.0 N type TOPCon modules have achieved mass production efficiency above 24.8% with power output reaching 670 W. The company said the modules have gained strong market acceptance due to features including high bifaciality, low degradation rates, and improved low light performance.
The manufacturer expects high power modules above 640 W to account for more than 60% of total module shipments in 2026, allowing the company to maintain premium pricing compared with conventional solar products.
In the energy storage segment, JinkoSolar said it had once again been recognised as a Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer by BloombergNEF. The company plans to double energy storage shipments in 2026 while expanding its presence in overseas markets through integrated photovoltaic and storage solutions.
JinkoSolar has also introduced five specialised solar module products under its Tiger Neo 3.0 platform to address growing demand for sector specific energy solutions. The new range includes Anti-Glare modules for transport infrastructure, Dust-Free self cleaning panels, Safety King fire resistant modules, Light Diamond lightweight modules, and AIDC modules designed for data centres.
The company said the products are aimed at addressing operational challenges including glare reduction, dust accumulation, fire safety, structural weight limits, and power reliability as industries accelerate low carbon energy adoption.
Looking ahead, JinkoSolar said it will continue investing in technology innovation, global market expansion, and integrated solar and energy storage systems to strengthen its competitiveness in the international photovoltaic sector.
