JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) is a leading global photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer and energy storage system integrator, specializing in the design, development, production, and marketing of solar modules, silicon wafers, solar cells, and related products.[1][2][6] Founded in 2006 in China, the company serves distributors, project developers, system integrators, and manufacturers across nearly 200 countries, with cumulative module shipments reaching approximately 370 GW as of 2025 Q3, making it the world's largest solar panel producer for multiple years.[3][4] Its mission focuses on providing clean, sustainable energy solutions through technological innovation, quality manufacturing, and vertical integration from silicon wafers to modules, while offering solar system integration, EPC services, and energy storage.[1][4][6] JinkoSolar's growth momentum is evident in its record-breaking efficiencies, such as a 33.84% N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell, and massive production capacities: 120 GW for mono wafers, 95 GW for cells, and 130 GW for modules by end-2025, with N-type leading the industry.[4][5]
The company employs over 15,000 people across 70+ countries, with manufacturing bases in China, the US, Malaysia, Vietnam, and others, enabling global expansion and resilience.[2][4] It powers operations toward 100% renewables by 2030 via RE100 and holds top rankings in reliability, bankability, and sustainability certifications.[3]
JinkoSolar was founded in December 2006 in Shanghai, China, by Li Xiande, who remains Chairman, capitalizing on surging global demand for renewable energy.[1][2][7] Starting as a silicon ingot and wafer producer, it quickly scaled through vertical integration—pioneering production from wafers to cells to modules—amid China's solar boom.[4][5] Early traction came from rapid growth; by 2010, it listed on the NYSE, unlocking international capital.[1] Pivotal moments include becoming the world's largest solar panel manufacturer in 2016, shipping 11.6 GW in 2018 and 14.3 GW in 2019, and launching high-efficiency series like Tiger Pro (2020) and 700W+ modules (2021).[1][2] Global expansion followed, with facilities in the US, Europe, Asia, Malaysia, and beyond, employing 15,000+ by recent years.[2][4] In 2022, it listed on Shanghai's STAR Board, solidifying its tech status.[5]
JinkoSolar rides the global energy transition to renewables, driven by net-zero goals, falling solar costs, and policy support like US Inflation Reduction Act incentives.[3] Its timing aligns with PV demand exploding—first to 300 GW deployments—amid supply chain diversification post-China dominance concerns, with US/Europe/Middle East bases mitigating tariffs and geopolitics.[1][4] Market forces favoring it include N-type tech supremacy for higher yields, perovskite breakthroughs promising 30%+ efficiencies, and energy storage integration for grid stability.[2][5] It influences the ecosystem as an opinion leader in B20/RE100, setting reliability standards, enabling EPCs/installers with bankable products, and accelerating solar's cost-competitiveness versus fossils.[3][4]
JinkoSolar's dominance positions it to capture PV market share growth to 500+ GW annually, expanding N-type (100+ GW capacity) and perovskite tech for next-gen efficiencies.[4][5] Trends like AI-driven energy demand, storage bundling, and emerging markets will propel it, with manufacturing expansions in Southeast Asia/Middle East hedging risks. Its influence may evolve toward full clean energy solutions, potentially leading tandem cell commercialization by 2030. As the clean energy race intensifies, JinkoSolar remains the scale-and-innovation powerhouse transforming solar from niche to grid mainstay.[1][2]
