Jinko Solar review
By My Energy Mate Editorial · Last updated
8.3/10
Jinko is the world's largest panel manufacturer and Australia's volume workhorse. Tiger Neo N-type panels (440-475 W, ~22.5% efficiency) deliver reliable performance at some of the lowest system prices: a 6.6 kW Jinko system runs roughly A$5,000 to A$7,000 installed. The sensible budget-to-midrange pick.

Additional things to note about Jinko Solar?
Jinko's only real disadvantages are relative: module efficiency around 22.5% trails premium back-contact rivals, so space-constrained roofs yield less, and its panels are so common that quotes vary widely in installer quality. The hardware itself is proven at global scale.
Compare against every rival in the full solar panel comparison table.
