Linear degradation warranty: ≤0.4%/year after year one, with no separate LID allowance. - **Up to 22.27% efficiency in 54-cell format** - Peak module efficiency of 22.27% outperforms SunEvo SE6-46SC EVOX (21.4%) and nearly matches Q-Cells Q.TRON BLACK (22.3%) at the same 445 Wp ceiling. The G12R half-cut cell format maximizes power density on constrained or multi-pitch roof areas. - **30-year linear power warranty** - Jinko Solar guarantees ≥88.4% of rated power after 25 years of operation, versus 84.8% for typical P-type PERC modules over the same period. The 30-year linear warranty is among the longest coverage standards in the residential PV segment. - **Low temp. coefficient Pmax: -0.29%/°C** - A Pmax temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C is more favorable than the -0.34 to -0.36%/°C typical of PERC modules. At a module temperature of 60°C (realistic for a Central European summer), power losses are approximately 2.1 percentage points lower, directly improving annual energy yield. - **All-black aesthetics + SMBB technology** - The 54HL4R-B series features a fully all-black design (frame, backsheet, and cells), meeting the aesthetic requirements of modern residential construction. Super Multi Busbar (SMBB) technology shortens current flow paths, reducing resistive losses and improving resistance to mechanical micro-cracks. ## Cons - **Series discontinued (2024)** - The 54HL4R-B series has been out of production since 2024. Limited distributor stock makes capacity expansions with identical modules difficult, and suppliers may not maintain full inventory availability throughout the 25-30-year warranty horizon. - **445 Wp peak below current market benchmarks** - Newer Jinko series (e.g., Tiger Neo N-type 78HL4, 570-605 Wp) and competing 2024-2025 modules offer higher per-panel output at comparable roof footprints. For installations optimized for BoS cost and mounting point count, a 445 Wp ceiling may translate into a higher cost per installed kWp. ## About this series The Tiger Neo N-type 54HL4R-B series represents a breakthrough in residential photovoltaics, offering advanced **N-type TOPCon cell technology**, which directly translates to higher efficiency in real-world weather conditions. The innovative design based on **G12R rectangular cells** allows for significantly higher power output per square meter, effectively solving the problem of limited space on complex roof surfaces. Unlike older solutions, these modules are characterized by minimal degradation over time and excellent resistance to high temperatures, guaranteeing stable energy yields for decades. The use of **Super Multi Busbar (SMBB) technology** not only increases reliability by shortening the current flow path but also enhances the aesthetics of the panel, making it an ideal choice for modern residential construction. These panels stand out with exceptional efficiency in low-light conditions, which is key to maximizing self-consumption on cloudy days. By choosing this series, investors receive a product that combines uncompromising durability with an elegant design, outperforming standard P-type modules in terms of return on investment. It is an **optimal high-power density solution** for those seeking maximum yields without the need to install large-scale structures. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 21.3% is 0.7pp below the \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (21.9%) - Power density of 212.7 W/m² is 5.7 W/m² below \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (218.4 W/m²) - needs more roof space - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median - Ranked #8918 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### Is the Jinko Solar Tiger Neo N-type 54HL4R-B series still available for purchase? The Tiger Neo N-type 54HL4R-B series has been discontinued by Jinko Solar and is no longer in active production. Limited quantities may still be available as clearance stock with select distributors. Before purchasing, confirm with the seller that full manufacturer documentation is included and that the product warranty remains valid for the specific batch. ### What warranty does the Jinko Tiger Neo 54HL4R-B come with? The Tiger Neo N-type 54HL4R-B series carries a 25-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, along with a 30-year linear power output warranty. The power warranty guarantees at least 87.4% of nominal output after 30 years of operation. This is one of the longer power warranties available for monofacial modules and directly supports the long-term ROI calculation. ### How do Jinko Tiger Neo 54HL4R-B panels perform under cloudy conditions typical of Central European climates? The N-type TOPCon cells used in the 54HL4R-B series deliver notably better low-irradiance performance compared to P-type PERC modules. The lower temperature coefficient and higher sensitivity to diffuse radiation result in greater annual energy yield in overcast conditions - an important advantage for installations in Poland and Central Europe where cloud cover is frequent in autumn and winter. ### How does N-type TOPCon technology in the 54HL4R-B differ from standard P-type panels? N-type TOPCon cells exhibit lower initial degradation (LID) and long-term degradation (LETID) than P-type PERC cells. The Tiger Neo 54HL4R-B achieves up to 445 Wp at efficiencies exceeding 21.7%, while comparable P-type modules of the same footprint typically deliver 20-21%. This translates to higher energy output per square meter and a faster payback period. ### Are Jinko Tiger Neo 54HL4R-B panels a good choice for a small or complex roof with limited mounting space? Yes. The 54HL4R-B series uses rectangular G12R cells that allow up to 445 Wp within a compact module footprint, delivering high power density. Fewer panels are needed to reach the target system output - a key advantage on roof sections constrained by chimneys, skylights, or other obstructions limiting usable surface area. ### Does the full-black design of the Jinko Tiger Neo 54HL4R-B affect its energy performance? The 54HL4R-B is a full-black module with a black frame and black backsheet, making it visually suited to modern residential rooftops. The darker surface can marginally raise the module's operating temperature on hot days; however, the SMBB busbar technology shortens current paths and reduces resistive losses, keeping overall energy performance high even at elevated cell temperatures. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/JKM425-445N-54HL4R-B-F2-EN-7cb58008cc7c.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-475) | 475 W | +50 W, +2.7 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [Just Solar JST-EDMH-(445-465)W-TD (465W class)](https://comparepv.com/panel/just-solar-jst-edmh-445-465-w-td-465w-class) | 465 W | +40 W, lighter, +2.5 pp | | [JA Solar JAT54S40-475/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat54s40-475-lr) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Tongwei TWMNH-48HW475](https://comparepv.com/panel/tongwei-solar-twmnh-48hw475) | 475 W | +50 W, heavier, +2.5 pp | | [Astronergy CHSM48RN(DG)/F-BH-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm48rn-dg-f-bh-475) | 475 W | +50 W, heavier, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A475-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a475-mce54mw) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A475-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a475-mah54mw) | 475 W | +50 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM420N-54HL4R-BDV](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm420n-54hl4r-bdv) | 420 W | -0.2 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM430-455N-54HL4R-B-F8-EN (430W)](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-co-ltd-jkm430-455n-54hl4r-b-f8-en-430w) | 430 W | Lighter, +0.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +85 W, cooler, +3.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +70 W, cooler, +3.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +80 W, cooler, +3.4 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +80 W, heavier, +3.4 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +65 W, cooler, +3.2 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +75 W, cooler, +3.2 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +75 W, cooler, +3.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm425n-54hl4r-b Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
