JinkoSolar's 2000-Volt Module First to Achieve UL Certification

SHANGRAO, China, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (the "Company," or "JinkoSolar") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that its 2000-Volt EAGLE® Modules were the first in the world to be qualified as UL listed products for UL61730-1 and UL61730-2, and UL classified products for IEC 61215-1, IEC 61215-2 and IEC 61215-1-1.

JinkoSolar worked with UL Solutions to certify this new and high-quality module. Following certification, the 2000-Volt EAGLE® Modules will be deployed selectively in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2024, with general U.S. market availability in 2025. 

The 2000-Volt module increases string lengths for utility-scale projects, thus reducing the overall system level component costs and improving end-to-end efficiency with less energy loss. This enables a more competitive levelized cost of energy, and projects using JinkoSolar's modules will see higher return on investment. This is the latest advancement in high voltage solar certification since 1500-Volt modules first came onto the market eight years ago. 

"We are always pleased to collaborate with industry innovators and technology leaders such as JinkoSolar," said Colleen O'Brien, Principal Engineer of UL Solutions. "UL Solutions is dedicated to elevating industry competitiveness through the exploration of cutting-edge technologies while prioritizing safety in their application."

"UL Solutions is synonymous with product safety and certification, so working with UL Solutions to achieve this 2000-Volt milestone was a natural choice," said Nigel Cockroft, General Manager of JinkoSolar (U.S.) Inc. "JinkoSolar's expertise lies not just in advanced R&D but also in bringing those technologies to scale and making them available cost-competitively to our U.S. customers. We look forward to the 2000-Volt EAGLE® Modules making a tangible difference to our customers' bottom lines."
