Jinko Solar panels, read off the datasheets

JinkoSolar is a global leader in the solar industry, manufacturing and distributing solar products and solutions to a diversified international customer base. They have a vertically integrated solar product value chain. The company is committed to providing clean, efficient, and sustainable energy...

Everything below is computed from those 637 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where Jinko Solar does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of Jinko Solar's own catalogue on the two figures a specification sheet leads with. Neither is a verdict: the most efficient module in a range is rarely the one that suits a given roof.

By what the array is for

Three cuts of the same catalogue, each ordered by efficiency inside its band. An empty column means the brand does not build for that case.

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 637 modules in the database, counted once each. A power ladder of one module counts as its rungs, which is why a large catalogue is not the same as a wide one.

Cell technology share of the catalogue
TOPCon 40.5% 258 N-type 30.6% 195 PERC 24.8% 158 Unknown 3.3% 21 BIPV 0.8% 5
TOPCon accounts for 40.5% of the catalogue - 258 of 637 modules.
