Efficiency leader, no clear weak spot
Tiger Neo is a flagship photovoltaic module lineup built on N-Type TOPCon cells, which replace the older PERC technology and meaningfully reduce power degradation over time. The series was designed for investors who expect not just high energy yield, but predictable, stable system performance over decades, regardless of weather conditions. Using N-type cells instead of conventional P-type translates into low power degradation starting from the very first year of operation, along with reduced sensitivity to microcracks and the PID effect, directly lowering the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) over the system's lifetime. The panels are available in a bifacial configuration, allowing them to capture light reflected off the ground and increase total energy yield without requiring additional roof space. A reinforced frame and tempered glass provide high mechanical durability against snow and wind loads, while a low temperature coefficient keeps the modules performing well even on hot summer days. Tiger Neo is built for residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations where long-term profitability matters more than a single nameplate power figure.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Residential, commercial and utility-scale.
Top 15% of the TOPCon 700-750 W segment, against a median of 23.00%.
Top 18% of the TOPCon 700-750 W segment, against a median of 230.2.
The manufacturer guarantees ≤1% power loss in year one and a max. 0.4% annual linear degradation for years 2-30, matching the current benchmark for high-quality N-type cells and clearly outperforming typical PERC modules, which suffer 2-3% first-year LID degradation.
Peak efficiency of 24.06% exceeds comparable 735 Wp TOPCon modules from Suntech (Ultra T 2.0, 23.7%), Resun Solar (RS9H-M, 23.66%), and Astronergy (ASTRO N8, 23.7%), yielding more energy from the same roof footprint.
The linear power warranty guarantees a minimum of 87.4% of rated output after 30 years - longer than the standard 25-year power warranty offered by most PERC and many TOPCon competitors.
A temperature coefficient of around -0.29%/°C (versus a typical -0.34%/°C for PERC) delivers a 2-3% higher energy yield in hot climates, relevant for installations facing peak summer conditions.
The bifacial variant increases energy yield without a larger roof footprint, and JinkoSolar has maintained BNEF Tier-1 status for consecutive quarters, easing project financing through banks and lease providers.
The 12-year product warranty is notably shorter than offerings from some Tier-1 competitors, e.g. Qcells (25 years) or Trina's Vertex S+ (25 years), which can be a meaningful factor when comparing total service-risk cost.
Jinko has already released newer generations - Tiger Neo 3.0 and Tiger Neo 5.0, featuring 700W+ modules with up to 25.91% efficiency - meaning this series (605-735 Wp, up to 24.06%) now trails the manufacturer's own latest offerings in efficiency and unit power.
- At 23.3% efficiency, this panel is on par with typical TOPCon 700-750W modules
- At 233.4 W/m² power density, this panel generates 3.2 W/m² more per unit area than TOPCon 700-750W median (230.2 W/m²)
- Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the TOPCon 700-750W median
- Bifaciality factor of 80% can add 4-12% extra yield with reflective mounting surface
- #943 for efficiency, #2165 for temperature performance out of 14005 panels

Measured curves published by Jinko Solar in this model's datasheet. A chart carrying a wattage was measured on that variant alone - only the ones that describe 725 Wp appear here. The rest cover the whole series.
Simulations
Degradation from this panel's own datasheet figures. No inverter, soiling or shading losses.
