JinkoSolar launched the 'Sunny 365' smart PV-storage system for manufacturing, integrating solar, storage, and AI. It addresses challenges like high costs and load fluctuations, offering standardized solutions for textiles, cement, and steel industries. The system includes high-efficiency modules and energy storage with safety features, aiming to reduce electricity costs and improve efficiency.

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) said it will release unaudited Q2 2026 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 before the U.S. market open on Aug. 26, 2026. Management will host an earnings call that day at 8:30 a.m. ET, with a webcast and telephone replay available afterward.

S&P Global added JinkoSolar to its 2026 “Tier 1 Clean Technology Companies” list for PV module suppliers, citing criteria including market influence, shipments, production capacity, global footprint, financial stability, and sustainability. The article says JinkoSolar ranked first in cumulative shipments and sustainability, and that 2026 criteria added credit risk via RiskGauge.

Shenzhen Energy Group subsidiaries announced results for a 2026–2028 PV module procurement totaling 1 GW, awarding JinkoSolar the contract again. The Tiger Neo 3.0 module is described as having up to 24.8% efficiency, 670W max power, and bifaciality of 85% ± 5%, aimed at ground-mounted plants and stable low-light output.

China’s energy efficiency PV standard, issued by multiple ministries, takes effect 1 Jan 2027 and sets tiered module conversion thresholds by cell type. Modules below Grade 3 will be barred from production and sales. JinkoSolar, LONGi Green and Canadian Solar discussed impacts on procurement criteria and capacity, plus storage expansion plans.

JinkoSolar introduced its “Sunny 365” smart solar-storage system for AI data centers, combining high-efficiency PV modules based on the Tiger Neo 3.0 platform with Jinko’s SunTera long-duration BESS, plus intelligent O&M. The modules are rated up to 680W with 25.17% efficiency and 85% bifaciality. The system targets reliability, energy costs, and grid-capacity limits, with remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.

The article cites U.S. federal records showing multiple Chinese government entities, state media and China-based companies registered under FARA and related lobbying disclosures to report U.S. influence activities. It says DOJ recorded over $20 million in 2025 FARA expenditures by Chinese entities and about $80 million by Chinese government sources. It highlights CGTN receiving $66.8 million from CCTV in 2025 and lists companies including Huawei and Hikvision with active FARA registrations.

JinkoSolar launched “Sunny 365” on July 23, a standardized solar-plus-storage platform for commercial and industrial customers, aimed at lowering electricity bills, managing peak demand, and simplifying deployment. The first application model targets supermarkets and large retail stores, using unused rooftop space and daytime load peaks, according to JinkoSolar.

JinkoSolar said vice chairman and co-founder Chen Kangping resigned, with his term due to end Dec 25, 2026.

JinkoSolar said its Tiger Neo 3.0 crystalline silicon PV modules received CPVT Grade 1 certification under China’s new mandatory national energy-efficiency standard. The standard sets TOPCon tier conversion-efficiency thresholds (24.0%/23.7%/23.2%) and other limits. JinkoSolar cited Tiger Neo 3.0 module efficiency of 24.8%, 650W–670W output, and 85%±5% bifaciality.
