December 19, 2024 — The Harvard Business Review 2024 New Growth Conference was held. JinkoSolar, as a leading company in the photovoltaic industry, was invited to attend and deliver a keynote speech. Furthermore, with its outstanding R&D capabilities and cutting-edge technological innovations, JinkoSolar has been honored on the “2024 China New Growth · Technology Leadership List,” demonstrating its industry leadership in technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
The “2024 China New Growth · Technology Leadership List” aims to recognize enterprises that continuously strengthen their technological capabilities and forge internal growth forces amidst the tide of technological progress. JinkoSolar was successfully selected based on its “N-type TOPCon Photovoltaic Cells and Modules Technology” project case. The successful application and promotion of this technology have not only injected new momentum into JinkoSolar's growth but also provided strong support for the technological advancement and sustainable development of the entire photovoltaic industry.
JinkoSolar is one of the earliest companies to layout N-type TOPCon technology and was the first to complete the rapid development and implementation of new technologies. This early advantage has allowed JinkoSolar to lead the industry by at least six months. From 2021 to the first half of 2024, Jinko has invested nearly 18 billion in R&D, applied for over 4,200 patents globally, and holds more than 2,800 valid authorized patents, including 462 N-type TOPCon authorized patents, leading the industry. Thanks to its strong R&D capabilities and patent advantages, JinkoSolar's technology continues to lead the industry. In May of this year, JinkoSolar's perovskite solar cells based on N-type TOPCon achieved a research efficiency of 33.24%, setting the 26th world record for photovoltaic product efficiency and power. Over the next three years, JinkoSolar plans to improve efficiency by more than 0.5% annually to maintain its lead.
Thanks to its technological innovation advantages, JinkoSolar's products are sold globally. To date, JinkoSolar's global module shipment has reached 300GW. Data shows that JinkoSolar currently ships 1GW of modules every 4 days to nearly 200 countries and regions, maintaining over 4,000 long-term customers. Among them, the N-type Tiger Neo module has become the world's best-selling module type with sales exceeding 140GW in just two years.
JinkoSolar's global strategy and technological innovation have not only driven the company's rapid development but also made a positive contribution to the green transformation and sustainable development of the global energy structure. In the future, JinkoSolar will continue to focus on technological innovation to promote the progress of the global photovoltaic industry and contribute to achieving global carbon neutrality goals.
