JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, recently successfully signed a 1 GW supply agreement for Tiger Neo 3.0 modules with a local distributor in Uzbekistan. These high-efficiency modules will be primarily deployed in local C&I distributed generation and select utility-scale projects, injecting strong momentum into Central Asia's energy transition. As the number one brand by PV module market share in Uzbekistan, this collaboration further consolidates JinkoSolar's leading position in the local market.
As a vital PV market in Central Asia, Uzbekistan boasts exceptional conditions for solar development, with over 300 sunny days annually and an irradiance of 1,700-1,900 kWh/㎡. However, the region's climate—characterized by extreme summer heat, significant day-night temperature fluctuations, and frequent sandstorms—poses stringent requirements on the performance of PV modules.
High Power and Efficiency Unleash Robust Generation Potential
The Tiger Neo 3.0 features a mass-produced cell efficiency of 27% and a front-side module efficiency of 24.8%. Uzbekistan, with its abundant solar resources, is the core region for PV development in Central Asia. Leveraging the ultra-high power generation efficiency of the Tiger Neo 3.0, projects can effectively reduce Balance of System (BOS) costs. In sites with fixed land resources, these modules also increase the installed capacity per unit area, fully maximizing land utilization value and unlocking greater power generation capacity within a limited footprint.
High Bifacial Factor Maximizes Power Generation Yields
The Tiger Neo 3.0 boasts a bifacial factor of up to 85% (±5%), delivering power generation performance superior to mainstream industry peers. Solar projects in Uzbekistan are frequently located in Gobi deserts and expansive plains, where the open, flat terrain and sandy soil provide excellent surface albedo. Thanks to its outstanding bifacial performance, the module can efficiently capture reflected light from the ground, stably achieving additional rear-side generation. This effectively translates the region's natural geographic advantages into tangible power generation returns for the plant.
Robust Weather Resistance Tailored for Local Climates
Uzbekistan experiences scorching summers, intense year-round sunlight, drastic diurnal temperature variations, and frequent sandstorms. Additionally, uneven terrain and vegetation shading can cause local uneven irradiance, impacting generation efficiency. The Tiger Neo 3.0 features an ultra-low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/℃, ensuring excellent control over power degradation in high-temperature environments. Coupled with exceptional low-light response and anti-shading capabilities, it effectively mitigates generation losses caused by shadows. The module maintains stable power generation during early mornings, late evenings, and cloudy conditions, significantly enhancing the overall operational reliability of the power plant and supporting the long-term, highly efficient, and stable operation of the project.
