Market leader and globally respected solar panel manufacturer, JinkoSolar, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the US District Court in California against VSUN Solar USA and TOYO of infringing on its proprietary technology, with no specific details provided.
Jinko is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction against VSUN, damages and a trial by jury.

In their filing, Jinko stated it has been awarded more than 2800 issued patents with a proprietary portfolio comprising 462 industry-leading patents related to n-type TOPCon technology.

“JinkoSolar has earned its leadership position in the global solar module market through significant R&D investments and will vigorously defend its intellectual property against those who sell infringing products,” said Louise Lu, a patent litigation lawyer with Perkins Coie LLP.

VSUN and TOYO are both vertically integrated solar PV manufacturers from Japan but have set up manufacturing bases in the USA.

Green Building Africa - Net Carbon Zero Buildings and Cities

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
