Light for its output, no clear weak spot
Jinko Solar's Tiger Neo 72HL4-(V) monofacial modules are designed for maximum yield from the same surface area, particularly where stable energy production over many years is crucial. The application of N-type TOPCon cells translates to lower susceptibility to typical power degradation over time and excellent performance in high temperatures and variable sunlight conditions. Thanks to SMBB technology, the module collects current from the cells more effectively, helping minimize losses during partial shading and improving connection reliability.
In practice, this series solves the problem of limited space - enabling higher installation power without adding more panels. Additionally, PID resistance supports long-term stability of parameters, and enhanced mechanical strength facilitates selection for demanding wind and snow conditions.
This is an excellent choice for commercial and industrial installations, PV farms, and projects where predictable yield and longevity are prioritized, not just the initial cost.
Ranking
Signals from the data
Commercial, utility-scale, shaded-installations and hot-climate.
Top 3% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 53.1. Ranked 490th in the whole database.
Top 11% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 22.80%.
Top 11% of the TOPCon 600-650 W segment, against a median of 227.7.
Maximum module efficiency reaches 23.42% - matching the GCL SIROT NT10/72GDF (best in class) and significantly outperforming JS Solar JS210MHC120 (21.4%) and LEDVANCE M585~605P60UB (21.37%). This translates directly into higher power output per unit of roof or ground area.
The 72HL4-(V) N-type TOPCon cells carry a Pmax temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C versus -0.35%/°C typical for PERC. At an operating cell temperature of 60°C, this results in measurably lower power losses during hot summer months - a significant advantage for commercial rooftops and utility-scale PV farms.
Jinko guarantees first-year degradation below 1% and annual degradation below 0.4% over 30 years, compared to a typical 0.45-0.55%/year for PERC technology. The SMBB busbar design reduces resistive losses and improves interconnect reliability, supporting stable output over the module's lifetime.
The module is certified for snow loads up to 5400 Pa and wind loads up to 2400 Pa, meeting mounting requirements in climate zones with moderate to elevated risk of extreme weather - relevant for industrial rooftop and ground-mount PV farm applications.
Jinko Solar is the only PV module manufacturer to receive a 100% bankability rating in the BloombergNEF 2024 PV Module Bankability Survey (10th consecutive year), outranking 66+ competitors. For debt-financed or insured projects, this is a critical criterion for lender and insurer acceptance.
The Tiger Neo 72HL4-(V) series was discontinued in 2024 after only three years in production (launched 2021). New module availability is limited to remaining distributor stock, making future system expansions with identical panels potentially impossible. Warranty replacement of defective units may face extended lead times as inventory depletes.
The 72HL4-(V) is a mono-facial module, unlike the sibling bifacial dual-glass 72HL4-BDV variant. In ground-mount installations with high-albedo surfaces, bifacial technology typically adds 5-15% additional energy yield, directly lowering LCOE. The absence of bifaciality is a limitation for utility-scale projects where optimal tilt and albedo can be exploited.
The product warranty is 12 years - below the current industry trend where premium N-type TOPCon modules (e.g., LONGi Hi-MO 6, Trina Vertex N) offer 15-year product warranties in the same performance tier. For commercial installations with PPA or SLA agreements exceeding 10 years, this may require additional warranty insurance.
- 23.4% module efficiency - 0.6pp better than the TOPCon 600-650W median of 22.8%
- Power density of 234.2 W/m² packs 6.5 W/m² more into the same footprint vs TOPCon 600-650W median (227.7 W/m²)
- Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the TOPCon 600-650W median
- Weight of 27.0 kg (5.8 kg below TOPCon 600-650W median of 32.8 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting
- Ranked #902 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database
