Most Impactful Solar Panel Solutions Company & Zero Carbon Excellence Award Industry-leading JinkoSolar is the first solar manufacturer to commit to RE100/EP100, an initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP, to rapidly accelerate change in order to attain a zero-carbon status. In addition to this, the company has committed to SBTi, another global initiative that has been designed to highlight to companies just how much and how quickly they need to curb their release of greenhouse gas emissions in order to lessen the detrimental impacts of climate change. In keeping with its commitment to these initiatives, JinkoSolar is proud to have already achieved green electricity in three of its factories in China and other overseas territories, securing it our Zero Carbon Excellence Award. Regarding social aspects, the company’s joining of the UN Global Compact Organisation (UNGC) in April 2021 highlights an ongoing commitment to upholding the best business practices and the ten key principles that define UNGC membership, with these universally accepted principles covering areas such as human rights, labour, environment, as well as anti-corruption. Off its own back, JinkoSolar has also established a product traceability management programme, with this endeavour aiming to “meet the increasing expectation from the clients, investors, and external stakeholders to offer a stronger level of comfort, thus enhancing a mutual understanding and trust”, as Aga tells us. Operating in the rapidly developing and continually prosperous European solar industry, JinkoSolar has positioned itself effectively to leverage the increasing demand for solar energy, bolstered by a track record of delivering high calibre solutions and an unrivalled understanding of the market. Aga elaborates further, “Jinko is constantly innovating and developing new technologies to improve the efficiency and reliability of its solar panels, which will help the company remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.” With its flagship product, Tiger Neo, and close partnerships with customers and others in the industry alike, new opportunities and products are being explored to exceed current and future needs. The company’s TOPCon technology remains leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, with the only other well-matched alternative yielding a much higher cost. TOPCon is the industry’s premier technology, and this serves to fuel competitiveness across the field, a good thing in the long run as it improves efficiency and reduces costs. Aga believes further changes are ahead, explaining, “as energy prices continue to rise and governments and consumers become more aware of the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, there will likely be increased demand for renewable energy solutions. This JinkoSolar Co., Ltd is one of the largest PV module manufacturers on the planet, and for three years in a row between 2016 and 2019, was ranked first for global shipment, and has continued to remain competitive in the years since, particularly in the realms of technology, vertically integrated capacity, and global sales networks.
