Recently, JinkoSolar successfully signed a 309MW supply agreement for its Tiger Neo 3.0 series high-efficiency photovoltaic modules with a key partner in Spain. The finalization of this large-scale order marks another significant breakthrough for JinkoSolar in the European centralized photovoltaic market, with Tiger Neo 3.0 modules, leveraging their excellent performance and reliability, becoming a preferred solution for large-scale ground-mounted power plant projects.
Spain, as a leader in the European photovoltaic market, possesses unique solar energy resources. However, the extreme summer high temperatures, significant diurnal temperature variations brought by the typical continental climate, and the project’s ultimate pursuit of lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) impose stringent requirements on the high-temperature power generation performance, long-term reliability, and system compatibility of photovoltaic modules. The Tiger Neo 3.0 modules signed in this agreement, leveraging their four core advantages based on N-type TOPCon technology, precisely match the deep-seated needs of Spanish ground-mounted power plants:
Superior Power Generation Capability in Both “High Temperature and Low Irradiance” Conditions, Enhancing Full-Time Energy Yield
Addressing the pain point of module power degradation due to high temperatures in Spanish summers, the Tiger Neo 3.0 modules optimize the power temperature coefficient to -0.26%/°C, reducing power loss by approximately 1.5% compared to conventional modules in high-temperature environments. Simultaneously, their excellent low-light response enables them to maintain 95%-98% relative power output during early mornings, evenings, and cloudy weather, effectively extending the plant’s effective power generation hours and delivering additional energy revenue for the project.
Ultra-High Bifaciality and Ultra-Low First-Year Degradation, Maximizing Lifetime Value
Leveraging advanced N-type cell technology, the Tiger Neo 3.0 modules achieve an ultra-high bifaciality of 85%±5%, allowing full utilization of reflected light from surfaces like Spanish deserts and sandy terrains, resulting in an 8%-12% rear-side power gain in typical ground-mounted scenarios. Coupled with excellent performance including first-year degradation of less than 1% and a linear degradation rate of only -0.35%, they ensure efficient and stable power output throughout the plant’s 30-year lifecycle, significantly reducing project LCOE and enhancing investment return certainty.
High Power Density and High Reliability, Reducing Plant BOS Costs
The Tiger Neo 3.0 modules achieve a maximum efficiency exceeding 24.8% and offer front-side power output ranging from 650W to 670W. Higher power density means that for the same installed capacity, the quantity of modules, mounting structures, cables, and installation labor hours can be reduced, effectively lowering the project’s BOS costs. Furthermore, they have passed rigorous IEC standard tests and enhanced aging tests, exhibiting excellent resistance to PID, salt mist, and wind-blown sand, enabling them to confidently withstand Spain’s diverse surface environments and ensure long-term safe and stable plant operation.
Perfectly Adapted for Large-Scale Power Plant Design, Compatible with Mainstream Tracking Systems
The design of the Tiger Neo 3.0 modules fully considers compatibility with tracking systems commonly used in large-scale ground-mounted power plants. Their mechanical load capacity and crack resistance risk have been optimized through design, allowing perfect adaptation to various tracking system solutions, reducing system complexity while enhancing overall plant reliability and power generation efficiency.
The successful signing of this 309MW order not only reflects the deep mutual trust between JinkoSolar and its Spanish partner but also signifies strong global market recognition of the Tiger Neo 3.0 module as a preferred solution for ground-mounted power plants. As the projects are gradually connected to the grid, these high-efficiency modules will inject a continuous stream of clean electricity into the Spanish power grid, strongly promoting its process of reducing energy dependence and achieving carbon neutrality goals, contributing “JinkoSolar’s strength” to the energy transition in Europe and globally.
