Jinko Solar (also referred to as "JinkoSolar") is a China-based global solar technology company. Jinko Solar was listed on the STAR Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2022, and JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., its indirect controlling shareholder, was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010.
The company strategically positions itself in the core segments of the photovoltaic industry chain. It focuses on integrated research, development, and manufacturing of photovoltaic products, as well as providing comprehensive clean energy solutions, leading in sales in the global mainstream photovoltaic market. JinkoSolar's products serve over 190 countries and regions worldwide, catering to more than 3,000 customers.
JinkoSolar pioneered the "vertical integration" capacity from silicon wafer and cell to module production in the industry. It owns 14 globalized manufacturing bases in China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the United States. By the end of 2024, the company's monocrystalline silicon wafer, cell and module production capacity will reach 120GW, 110GW and 130GW respectively, of which the N-type production capacity will be more than 100GW in the next 24 years, and the N-type production capacity scale is leading the industry.
In the field of perovskite, it seems that the Company has ongoing perovskite solar work, and in May 2024, it announced a significant breakthrough in the development of its N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell: efficiency of 33.24%.

Garlic-derived antioxidant can improve crystallization of hybrid perovskite films
Researchers from Konkuk University, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and Nanoenics have reported an improved crystallization of hybrid perovskite films achieved through the addition of a potent antioxidant derived from garlic, known as allicin. Oxidation of hybrid perovskite composed of organic–inorganic materials can cause significant problems in performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), because the hybrid perovskite oxidation induces considerable decrease in crystallinity and quality of hybrid perovskites.
Defect sites within the hybrid perovskite film, which arise during annealing and ageing processes, were found to be effectively managed by the antioxidant properties of allicin, particularly at elevated temperatures. Acting as an in situ encapsulator for the hybrid perovskite, the antioxidant efficiently regulated defect sites by supplying protons and neutralizing free radicals.
Jinko Solar announces N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell with 33.24% efficiency
China-based global PV and ESS supplier, Jinko Solar, has announced a significant breakthrough in the development of its N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell.
Tested by the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, the cell reportedly achieved an impressive conversion efficiency of 33.24%. This enhancement surpasses JinkoSolar's previous record of 32.33% for the same type of tandem cells.
Researchers fabricate perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with 27.6% efficiency
A research group that includes scientists from Chinese module manufacturer JinkoSolar, Australian National University, the Beijing Institute of Technology and Peking University has developed a monolithic perovskite-silicon n-type tandem solar cell based on tunnel oxide passivated contacts (TOPCon) tech for the bottom cell.
“We fabricate the perovskite sub-cell conformally on the damage-etched front surface to mitigate the negative impacts of rough c-Si substrates, thus preventing shunt paths across carrier transport layers, absorber layers, and their interfaces in relevance,” the scientists said, noting that they followed a standard wafering and etching process that is commonly used in the PV industry.
JinkoSolar announces perovskite cell technology platform that will deliver efficiencies close to 30%
Chinese module maker JinkoSolar has made an announcement in its financial statement for the first quarter of the year, promising perovskite cell technology platform that will deliver efficiencies close to 30%.
'JinkoSolar's long-term commitment to R&D has enabled it to continue to launch industry leading products. We have also completed the construction of a high-efficiency laminated perovskite cell technology platform that is expected to reach a breakthrough cell conversion efficiency of over 30% within the year', says Company representative.
GreatCell shares updates on its perovskite solar technology and future plans
Australia-based GreatCell Solar, formerly known as Dyesol, was founded to develop, scale-up and commercialize 3rd generation solar PV technologies, and currently the company focuses on perovskite solar cell (PSC) materials and technologies.
GreatCell's Managing Director, Richard Caldwell kindly agreed to talk with Perovskite-Info about the Company's current technology and future plans - and his views on the perovskite market.
