The manufacturer labeled the new product as the “world’s most powerful solar panel” by virtue of 650-670 W front side power and an 85% bifacility factor that reportedly translates into 553-570 W of rear side power output.

“The Tiger Neo 3.0 is the world’s longest working-hour panel built for utility-scale, DG, and rooftop solar systems,” it said in a statement. “It has 30 W more power than conventional TOPCon, also has 10-15% higher bifacility and an approximately 10% -20% yield gain than back-contact panels under low light conditions, for instance 200W/m2.”

The new panel measures 2,396 mm × 1,134 mm × 30 mm and has a weight of 32.5 kg. Its power conversion efficiency ranges from 24.06% and 24.80% and its temperature coefficient is -0.26%/C.

The open-circuit voltage spans from 50.26 V to 50.98 V, while the short-circuit current is between 15.98 A and 16.22 A.

The operating ambient temperature ranges from -40 C to 70 C, said the manufacturer, and maximum system voltage is 1,500 V. The panel has an anodized aluminum frame and 2.0 mm of tempered glass with an anti-reflection coating. Its junction box has an IP-68 rating.

JinkoSolar offers a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year power output guarantee. Annual linear degradation over 30 years is indicated at 0.35%. The degradation in the first year is purportedly 1% and 30-year end power output is guaranteed to be no less than 88.85% of the nominal output power.

*The article was amended on September 5 to reflect that the product warranty has a 12-year duration.
