Space saver, no clear weak spot
Jinko Solar’s Tiger Pro 72HC-TV series is designed for installations where high yield remains crucial even under non-ideal conditions. These modules utilize half-cut (HC) technology, which enhances performance during partial shading and minimizes power losses caused by cell heating. Additionally, Multi Busbar (MBB) enables better current collection and improves resistance to micro-cracks, leading to more stable energy production over the long term.
The 72HC-TV version is a bifacial module with a transparent rear side, allowing it to capture reflected light from the ground surface. This is a significant advantage on flat roofs, light membrane roofs, and ground-based structures with the right substrate. Another key feature is its durable construction, which appeals to investors seeking predictable returns and lower service risks.
This is an excellent choice for companies, agricultural operations, and larger commercial installations where the focus is on achieving a favorable cost-to-energy ratio, not just module datasheet parameters.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Commercial and shaded-installations.
Top 10% of the PERC 500-550 W segment, against a median of 209.0. Ranked 9,294th in the whole database.
Top 10% of the PERC 500-550 W segment, against a median of 20.90%.
The 72HC-TV variant uses a transparent backsheet instead of a rear glass layer, reducing module weight while retaining full bifacial functionality. Jinko claims a 5-25% energy yield gain over monofacial equivalents - a tangible LCOE advantage on ground-mount installations with high-albedo surfaces or flat roofs with white membranes.
Half-cut (HC) cell splitting reduces power loss in a partially shaded string by approximately 50% versus full-cell designs. Multi Busbar (MBB) shortens current paths, lowers series resistance, and improves micro-crack resistance - relevant for a module rated for 2400 Pa wind and 5400 Pa snow mechanical loads.
Jinko guarantees ≤1% degradation in Year 1 and ≤0.4%/year from Years 2-30, ensuring ≥87.4% of nameplate power at end of warranty. This outperforms the common PERC 72-cell market standard of 0.45-0.55%/year annual degradation.
Jinko Solar appears on the BloombergNEF Tier-1 list in both Q1 and Q2 2026 (42 manufacturers total), co-leading in annual production capacity at ~120 GW/year. Tier-1 status lowers project financing risk and supports favorable insurance terms for C&I and utility-scale installations.
The Tiger Pro 72HC-TV was manufactured from 2020 to 2023 and has since been removed from Jinko Solar's active product lineup. New stock is essentially unavailable, and sourcing matching modules for array expansion or warranty replacement will likely become impractical within the coming years.
P-type PERC cells exhibit a median first-year LID of approximately 1.92% (field data, SurgePV 2026), versus ~0.26% for N-type TOPCon modules. With TOPCon having become the 2026 market standard, the Tiger Pro 72HC-TV effectively starts each installation at a lower real-world power baseline from Season 1 onward.
- At 21.1% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical PERC 500-550W modules
- Power density of 211.3 W/m² matches the PERC 500-550W median
- Temperature coefficient of -0.35%/°C matches the PERC 500-550W median
- Bifacial design (70% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-10% yield on ground-mount or white roof
- #9307 for efficiency, #10489 for temperature performance out of 14129 panels
