Middle of its segment, weak in heat
The Tiger Neo N-type 78HL4-(V) series consists of mono-facial modules built on half-cut N-type TOPCon cells, engineered for large-scale commercial installations and utility solar farms where maximizing output per square meter of roof or ground space is essential. The SMBB technology improves light trapping and current collection, translating into higher power output and more stable module performance throughout its service life. Thanks to Hot 2.0 technology, the panels exhibit reduced LID and LeTID degradation, delivering higher real-world energy yields compared to conventional P-type modules. The manufacturer has also ensured excellent PID resistance through an optimized production process and careful material selection, eliminating the risk of power loss from voltage-induced degradation. The construction provides enhanced mechanical load resistance against wind and snow, while the panels also offer resistance to salt mist and ammonia, making them suitable for installations in demanding environments such as agricultural or coastal sites. The whole series is backed by a 30-year linear power warranty, giving investors confidence in stable long-term returns. This is a solution built for installers and investors seeking reliability at project scale.

Hot climates.
Bottom 11% of the N-type 600-650 W segment, against a median of -0.290.
Efficiency up to 22.54% and power up to 630 Wp place the series near the top of the monofacial segment - on par with Leapton LP182*199-M-72-NH (630 Wp / 22.54%) and only slightly below bifacial models such as Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 (23.3%) or Resun RS8H-M-BD (23.32%).
The industry standard for modern N-type modules is 25-30 years; the Tiger Neo 78HL4 offers a full 30-year linear power warranty, giving investors long-term yield predictability comparable to the best tier-1 competitors.
Reduced light- and heat-induced degradation (LID/LeTID) translates into higher real-world energy yield compared to classic P-type PERC modules, especially during the first years of operation.
High PID resistance combined with salt mist and ammonia resistance make the panels suitable for agricultural and coastal installations, where standard modules degrade faster.
Jinko Solar is a Tier-1 manufacturer (BNEF classification), operating since 2006, which facilitates financing of commercial projects and utility-scale PV farms built on this series.
The Tiger Neo 78HL4-(V) series (released 2021) has been discontinued in favor of the newer Tiger Neo 3.0 (up to 670 Wp, up to 24.8% efficiency). This means limited availability, no further product support, and potential difficulty sourcing matching modules for future system expansion.
Maximum efficiency of 22.54% is notably lower than bifacial competitors such as Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 (23.3%) or Resun RS8H-M-BD (23.32%) at the same 630 Wp maximum power - for space-constrained installations, this can mean lower yield per m².
The module is monofacial, while some comparable tier-1 series (e.g., Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6, Resun RS8H-M-BD) offer bifacial variants, providing an additional energy gain (typically a few percent) on ground-mounted installations with suitable albedo.
- Efficiency of 22.5% matches the N-type 600-650W median
- At 225.4 W/m² power density, roof space requirements are typical for N-type 600-650W panels
- At -0.30%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for N-type 600-650W panels
- 30.6 kg weight - 2.2 kg lighter than N-type 600-650W median (32.8 kg), reducing installation effort
- In the top 28% for efficiency among all N-type panels
