JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, recently has received the "2026 Overall Highest Achiever" award in the 2026 PV Module Index (PVMI) report published by Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC). JinkoSolar's submitted modules passed RETC's rigorous Thresher Test/PQP full-sequence reliability testing, including TC200 thermal cycling, DH1000 damp heat, dynamic mechanical load, PID potential-induced degradation, LeTID light-induced degradation, and PAN performance analysis, fully validating the exceptional reliability of N-type TOPCon bifacial dual-glass modules under extreme environmental conditions. This marks the seventh consecutive year that JinkoSolar has received this honor, setting a new record for the longest winning streak by any global PV manufacturer in RETC's annual evaluations.
RETC's Thresher Test/PQP full-sequence reliability testing is widely recognized as one of the most stringent module screening standards in the PV industry. Unlike conventional IEC baseline certifications, RETC employs multiple accelerated tests: TC200 thermal cycling, DH1000 damp heat, dynamic mechanical load, PID potential-induced degradation, LeTID light-induced degradation, and PAN file performance analysis. To be awarded "Overall Highest Achiever," participating modules must pass the entire test sequence with outstanding performance across all metrics. The PVMI report, with its professional, independent, and transparent testing results, has become a critical basis for decision-making for global project financiers, developers, and operators in module selection and long-term reliability assessment.
JinkoSolar's Tiger Neo bifacial dual-glass modules delivered outstanding results across the full RETC Thresher Test sequence: power degradation in TC200 thermal cycling was far below the industry average; DH1000 damp heat testing demonstrated excellent weather resistance; and PID testing verified minimal degradation under long-term high-voltage exposure. Quality, performance, and reliability all reached industry-leading standards, helping JinkoSolar secure this award for the seventh consecutive year and setting a new record for the longest winning streak by any global PV manufacturer in RETC's annual evaluations.
Winning the "Overall Highest Achiever" award for seven consecutive years marks a milestone for JinkoSolar, as its product evolution has not only achieved continuous breakthroughs in power efficiency, but also established an insurmountable quality moat in the reliability dimension. JinkoSolar will continue to provide global customers with PV solutions that withstand extreme environmental conditions, supported by comprehensive reliability validation across its full-size cell portfolio of 182N and 210R --- all certified through RETC's Thresher Test/PQP full-sequence accelerated testing --- to drive the global energy transition with rock-solid quality.
