Products
Jinko Solar offers polycrystalline photovoltaic modules. In early 2016, the company introduced Eagle Black and Eagle Dual modules. The Eagle Black module is a nano-scale etched module that has high light-absorption rate of 99.7 percent, improved production when light hits at an angle during dawn and dusk and outperforms standard panels on cloudy days. The Eagle Dual is a dual-glass module that has low degradation rates and comes with a 30-year warranty. The company also offers 1,500 volt utility-scale modules.
Jinko Solar has one of the lowest production costs in the industry. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the cost per watt was 39 cents. In the first quarter 2016, the cost per watt dropped to 37 cents.
Solar projects
Jinko Solar develops solar projects, mainly in China. At the end of 2015, the company had connected 1,006 MWs to the grid. The company plans to separate its solar projects business. The solar projects are in a subsidiary named Jinko Power. The planned spin-off of Jinko Power has been affected by delays, but management expects the spin-off to take place in 2016. Jinko Solar made a definitive agreement to sell its stake in Jinko Power for $250 million in cash in October 2016.
Controversy
On Thursday, 15 September 2011, more than 500 people from Hongxiao Village protested over the large-scale death of fish in a nearby river. Angry protesters stormed the factory compound, overturned eight company vehicles, and destroyed the offices before police came to disperse the crowd. Protests continued on the two following nights with reports of scuffle, officials said. Chen Hongming, a deputy head of Haining's environmental protection bureau, said the factory's waste disposal had failed the pollution tests since April. The environmental watchdog has warned the factory but it had not effectively controlled the pollution, Chen added.
The Haining facility suspended production on September 17, 2011. Jinko Solar also took steps recommended by an environmental engineering firm licensed by the PRC government. On September 28, 2011, a committee of experts established by the Haining government approved a set of recommendations developed by the licensed engineers with the Haining government to be implemented by the company. On October 6, 2011, the experts' committee, the Environmental Bureau of the Haining government and representatives of Hongxiao Village reviewed the steps taken by Jinko Solar based on the recommendations of the experts' committee and provided their comments to JinkoSolar’s management. On October 9, 2011, the committee notified the company that they were satisfied with the steps taken and production was resumed. In January 2013, Haining City environmental authority issued the “Environmental Management Compliance Certificate for 2012” to the company, confirming compliance with environmental requirements.
