Tiger Neo 5.0: Jinko solar modules up to 700W

The major innovation presented by JinkoSolar was Tiger Neo 5.0, a new generation of solar modules based on TOPCon technology. According to the company, this series incorporates improvements such as high-purity homogeneous silicon substrates, advanced light capture structures, full-area cell passivation processes and encapsulation with a cell matrix without visible gaps.

Thanks to these improvements, JinkoSolar indicates that Tiger Neo 5.0 reaches a power output of up to 700W, a module efficiency of 25.91% and a power density above 259 W/m². The company also highlights that this progress is achieved while maintaining the same format, moving from 670W to 700W within the new product generation.

For installers, engineering firms and photovoltaic professionals, this type of evolution is especially relevant in projects where available space is a key factor. Higher power per module and greater efficiency can help optimise system design, improve the use of available surface area and increase installed power per square metre.

TOPCon technology: a key line in the evolution of JinkoSolar

TOPCon technology has become one of the main development lines in today’s photovoltaic market. In the case of JinkoSolar, the Tiger Neo range has become one of its most representative series, especially in projects seeking high-efficiency solar modules with strong long-term performance.

With Tiger Neo 5.0, JinkoSolar states that TOPCon technology has officially entered the era of 700W+ modules. The company also notes that, in value comparisons for different application scenarios, Tiger Neo 5.0 can offer up to 3% more energy generation compared with competing products of a similar size.

This figure should be understood within the context communicated by the manufacturer itself, but it confirms a clear trend: the market is moving towards increasingly efficient modules, with higher power density and better adaptation to the specific needs of each installation.

New Jinko solar modules for different types of projects

In addition to Tiger Neo 5.0, JinkoSolar presented six specific modules based on the Tiger Neo 3 platform, designed to respond to different installation scenarios. These include the Anti-Dust, AIDC, Safety Guardian, Anti-Glare, Light Diamond and Mount Tai modules.

This strategy reflects an important evolution in the photovoltaic sector. More and more projects require solutions adapted to specific conditions, such as rooftops with load limitations, environments with dust accumulation, areas exposed to severe weather events or installations where module glare may cause safety issues.

Anti-Dust Module: modules designed to reduce dust accumulation

JinkoSolar’s Anti-Dust Module is designed to reduce dust accumulation through a three-dimensional design and nano-coated glass. According to the company, this solution can help reduce operation and maintenance costs, especially in environments where dirt can affect installation performance.

This type of module is especially interesting for solar plants or installations located in areas with high levels of dust, sand or suspended particles, where cleaning and maintenance can have a significant impact on energy production.

AIDC Module: photovoltaic solution for artificial intelligence data centres

JinkoSolar also presented the AIDC Module, a module developed specifically for artificial intelligence data centres, where available rooftop or ground space may be limited.

According to the information published by JinkoSolar, this module reaches up to 680W of power and offers more than 3% additional generation over its life cycle compared with conventional modules. The company also indicates that its stable power output can reduce costs associated with system risk and that its resistance to extreme weather conditions can help reduce insurance premiums.

In a context of growth in data centres and energy demand linked to artificial intelligence, this type of solution shows how the photovoltaic sector is beginning to adapt to new profiles of intensive electricity consumption.

Safety Guardian Module: greater resistance to hail, wind and snow

The Safety Guardian Module is aimed at projects where safety and mechanical resistance are critical factors. JinkoSolar indicates that this module is designed to withstand hail of up to 55 mm, loads of 7,000 Pa on the front side and 5,000 Pa on the rear side.

The company also highlights that this module has a dual Class A fire rating under IEC and UL standards, as well as arc fault protection technology. At this point, a prudent technical interpretation is advisable: these are features aimed at improving system safety, especially under demanding environmental conditions, but always within the proper design, installation and maintenance of the project.

Anti-Glare Module: solar modules with lower reflectance

The Anti-Glare Module is designed to reduce glare issues in installations close to roads, airports or other sensitive infrastructure. According to JinkoSolar, while conventional modules can exceed 50% reflectance, this product reaches a reflectance of only 7%, representing an 85% reduction.

This type of module can be especially relevant in projects where visual impact, road safety or local regulations influence the design of the photovoltaic installation.

Light Diamond Module: lightweight modules for industrial rooftops

Another highlighted product is the Light Diamond Module, a solution designed for commercial and industrial rooftops with structural load limitations.

According to JinkoSolar, more than 30% of commercial and industrial rooftops cannot install conventional modules due to insufficient load-bearing capacity. To address this limitation, the Light Diamond Module weighs only 7 kg/m², more than 40% less than conventional dual-glass modules, and reaches up to 560W of power with an efficiency of 24.94%.

For the C&I market, this product line can open up new possibilities on rooftops where the weight of the photovoltaic system is one of the main technical constraints.

Mount Tai Module: modules for extreme environments

The Mount Tai Module is designed for demanding environmental conditions, such as desert areas or regions with strong thermal variations. JinkoSolar highlights its high mechanical resistance, greater load-bearing capacity and resistance to temperature-induced deformation.

According to the company, compared with conventional modules with aluminium frames, this product doubles the strength of the frame, reaches a load capacity of 6,000 Pa / -3,000 Pa and significantly reduces module deformation.

This type of solution is mainly aimed at installations where environmental conditions can directly affect the durability and stability of the photovoltaic system.

Jinko ESS SunTera G5: energy storage for industrial and grid applications

JinkoSolar’s presentation at SNEC 2026 did not focus solely on photovoltaic modules. The company also presented the Jinko ESS SunTera G5 storage system, described as a high-energy-density solution for applications such as high-consumption industrial parks, renewable projects with storage, artificial intelligence data centres and grid-connected storage.

According to JinkoSolar, SunTera G5 reaches an energy density above 570 kWh/m² in a standard 20-foot container, a round-trip efficiency above 96% and a service life aligned with photovoltaic systems of up to 25 years, maintaining an SOH equal to or above 70%. It also integrates artificial intelligence for battery state-of-health prediction, proactive fault alerts and intelligent operation and maintenance optimisation.

This evolution confirms an increasingly clear trend in the sector: the integration of photovoltaic generation, storage, monitoring and artificial intelligence to improve energy management in projects.
