After 30 years the manufacturer guarantees ≥87.4% of rated power - translating to meaningfully higher cumulative energy yield over the system lifetime. - **Up to 23.17% efficiency - peer-leading** - Peak module efficiency of 23.17% exceeds all but one peer comparable: Emmvee GRAPHITE (21.03%) and Lina Energy LEPV 132 HC ICON PLUS (21.06%) trail by more than 2 percentage points. This allows a smaller roof area to achieve the same system nameplate capacity. - **30-year linear power warranty** - Linear power output warranty spanning 30 years with a guaranteed floor of ≥87.4% at end of term, backed by a 12-year product warranty. Provides long-term LCOE predictability for prosumer and C&I installations. - **JinkoSolar - BNEF #1 bankability 2025** - JinkoSolar is the only manufacturer globally to achieve 100% bankability rating in the Bloomberg NEF 2025 survey - its 10th consecutive year at the top. Tier-1 BNEF status confirms project finance eligibility and substantially reduces manufacturer insolvency risk within the warranty horizon. - **Half-cut cells + IP68 junction box** - Half-cut cell architecture reduces resistive losses and limits the impact of partial shading (chimneys, dormers, antennas) on string output. The IP68-rated junction box provides full dust- and submersion-proof protection, relevant for Central European winter conditions with freeze-thaw cycles and snowmelt. ## Cons - **Discontinued series (EOL 2024)** - The Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) series ended production in 2024 (released 2021, end-of-life 2024). This limits availability of new modules for system expansions, increases the risk of reduced spare parts support (bypass diodes, junction boxes), and may shorten effective after-sales service coverage compared to currently active product lines. - **Monofacial only - no albedo gain** - The series has no bifacial variant (is\_bifacial: false), whereas current-generation premium competitors offer bifacial options that capture an additional 5-15% energy from ground/roof albedo. This is primarily a limitation for ground-mount or flat-roof installations where bifacial yield meaningfully lowers LCOE. - **Efficiency below absolute segment top** - While 23.17% ranks above most peers, newer-generation modules such as the Gokin GK-3-54HGF reach 24.5% - a gap of 1.33 pp, equivalent to roughly 6% more power per unit area. On highly constrained roof surfaces this difference becomes a meaningful sizing constraint. ## About this series The Jinko Solar Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) series is designed for high energy yield on limited rooftop space - with no compromises in terms of durability. The use of **N-type (TOPCon) cells** translates to more stable performance over time and reduced susceptibility to typical efficiency losses affecting standard modules. In practice, this means a more reliable yield over multiple seasons, even with intensive operation. The attention-grabbing **half-cell design** minimizes internal losses and improves module performance under partial shading - crucial for rooftops with chimneys, skylights, or antenna installations. Furthermore, the **anti-reflective glass coating** supports better light utilization in cloudy conditions, common in Poland. The entire setup is complemented by a **junction box with IP68 sealing class**, enhancing resistance to moisture and dust. This is an excellent choice for single-family homes, small businesses, and self-consumption installations, where maximizing yield per square meter and ensuring long-term, predictable performance are key priorities. ## Notable figures - Module efficiency of 22.0% is 0.5pp below average for \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* panels (median: 22.5%) - At 219.8 W/m², this panel generates 5.4 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (225.2 W/m²) - At -0.29%/°C, hot weather performance is typical for \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* panels - At 22.5 kg, this panel is 1.5 kg lighter than \*\*TOPCon 450-500W\*\* median (24.0 kg) - easier handling during installation - In the top 48% for efficiency among all TOPCon panels ## Questions ### Is the Jinko Solar Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) series still available for purchase? The Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) series has been discontinued and is no longer actively produced. Some units may still be found in distributor stock, but no new supply from Jinko Solar should be expected. Customers interested in N-type TOPCon technology are best directed to current Jinko Solar series, which offer comparable or improved specifications. ### What is TOPCon technology in the Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) panels and does it matter for my solar installation? TOPCon stands for Tunnel Oxide Passivating Contact - an N-type cell technology with a lower degradation rate than standard PERC cells, better high-temperature performance, and reduced early-year losses. For a prosumer installation, this translates into higher real-world energy yield after 10 or 20 years of operation compared to older-generation modules. ### How do Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) panels perform under partial shading from a chimney or skylights? The 60HL4-(V) modules use a half-cut cell design with 120 cells split into two independent strings. When one half of the module is shaded, the other half continues to operate efficiently, reducing overall power loss. This is a significant advantage on rooftops with chimneys, roof windows, or antennas where some shading during the day is unavoidable. ### What is the warranty on Jinko Solar Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) panels? Jinko Solar provides a 12-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, and a 30-year linear power warranty. According to the datasheet, the module must retain at least 87.4% of its rated output power after 30 years. The manufacturer warranty applies directly through Jinko Solar and is separate from any installer warranty. ### Will the 500 Wp Jinko Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) panel perform well in Polish weather conditions with frequent cloud cover? Yes. N-type cells show better sensitivity to diffuse irradiance than PERC cells, which translates into higher output on overcast days typical of the Polish climate. The anti-reflective glass coating further improves light absorption at low angles of incidence. The module also has a favorable temperature coefficient, so it doesn't lose excessive power on hot summer days. ### How heavy is the Tiger Neo 60HL4-(V) panel and does it require a reinforced roof structure? The module weighs approximately 22.5 kg and measures 1906 × 1134 mm. These are standard dimensions for panels in this power class. A typical roof truss in Polish residential construction handles this load without issues. For older or lightweight roof structures, it is advisable to have a structural engineer assess load capacity before installation. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/jkm475-500n-60hl4-v-f8-eu-73f5ea3cf95f.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +35 W, cooler, +3.0 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +20 W, cooler, +2.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +30 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [WINAICO WST-505BKX54-A2](https://comparepv.com/panel/winaico-wst-505bkx54-a2) | 505 W | +30 W, cooler, +2.7 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +15 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +25 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +25 W, cooler, +2.5 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKM440M-60HL4](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm440m-60hl4) | 440 W | Hotter, -1.6 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JKM445M-60HL4](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm445m-60hl4) | 445 W | Hotter, -1.4 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JKM450M-60HL4-V](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm450m-60hl4-v) | 450 W | Hotter, -1.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JS182MHC120-450](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-js182mhc120-450) | 450 W | Hotter, -1.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JKM455M-60HL4](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-jkm455m-60hl4) | 455 W | Hotter, -0.9 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JS182MHC120-455](https://comparepv.com/panel/jinko-solar-js182mhc120-455) | 455 W | Hotter, -1.0 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-560M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-560m) | 560 W | +85 W, cooler, +2.8 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVH-555M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvh-555m) | 555 W | +80 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-550M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-60hvhl-550m) | 550 W | +75 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/jinkosolar-jkm475-500n-60hl4-v-f8-eu-475w-column Not in this file, on the page: the I-V and temperature curves lifted from the manufacturer's datasheet, a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
