- JinkoSolar has signed a procurement intention agreement with China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) for the supply of 2 gigawatts of its latest Tiger Neo 3.0 photovoltaic modules.
- The equipment will be used for CEEC’s EPC contract on Phase Six of the Furais Photovoltaic Project, part of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) renewable-energy program.
Representatives from both companies attended a formal signing ceremony. According to JinkoSolar, the agreement underscores deepening collaboration between the two Chinese energy leaders as they expand their footprint in global clean-energy development.
The Tiger Neo 3.0, JinkoSolar’s latest N-type TOPCon flagship module, features several performance advancements designed to boost output and long-term reliability. The company highlighted six key improvements:
- Higher power rating: Front-side output of up to 670 Wp, which sets a new benchmark for the industry.
- Improved bifacial performance: Bifaciality of up to 90%, delivering greater energy yield. Field tests reported energy gains of 2.39% on lawn surfaces and 3.52% on cement—equivalent to “buy 1 W, get 1.26 W.”
- Stronger low-light generation: Enhanced performance during dawn, dusk and cloudy conditions, increasing daily production hours.
- Better high-temperature resilience: A reduced temperature coefficient of –0.26%/°C, helping maintain output in extreme desert heat.
- Reduced degradation: No more than 1% power loss in the first year and a linear degradation rate of ≤ –0.35% annually thereafter, supported by a 30-year power warranty.
- Improved shading tolerance: A redesigned cell layout that reduces losses from partial shading and enhances ROI for both rooftop and utility-scale installations.
The 2 GW agreement marks another milestone in the longstanding partnership between JinkoSolar and CEEC. Industry analysts say the collaboration—pairing advanced Chinese PV technology with large-scale EPC capabilities—positions both companies to support Saudi Arabia’s accelerating energy diversification strategy.
JinkoSolar stated that the project will deliver a high-yield, bankable solution aligned with global trends in utility-scale solar deployment, further strengthening the competitive presence of Chinese firms in the international renewable-energy market.
