In the second half of 2026, JinkoSolar initiated mass production of its TAC cell technology. This hardware, which is now commercially shipping, marks a shift toward application-oriented product design.
Why it matters
The development represents an industry-wide pivot from performance-centric metrics to scenario-driven energy solutions. This transition integrates photovoltaic, energy storage, and smart technologies to meet specialized demand.
The TAC architecture achieves a 28% mass-production efficiency, yielding a 1-1.5% increase in total module efficiency. These units deliver 20-30 W more output than standard BC modules of comparable dimensions.
The players
JinkoSolar
A global solar module manufacturer that is shifting its strategic stack to integrate energy storage and smart device technologies.
The details
The TAC architecture utilizes a low-temperature manufacturing process to reduce the temperature coefficient, a measurement of how much power output drops as operating temperature rises. JinkoSolar developed this technology using AI-enabled high-throughput, closed-loop, in-house R&D laboratories. The company is now applying an application-oriented philosophy that centers on one scenario, one technology, and one product to guide its manufacturing.
Timeline
Mass production of TAC cell technology began in the second half of 2026.
Capacity ramp-up for TAC technology is expected during 2027.
The Tech Race
JinkoSolar is moving to distinguish its portfolio from standard BC module competitors by adopting a scenario-driven design framework. This follows the broader industry move toward application-specific energy products.
The new modules are expected to see early adoption in high-end luxury residences throughout Australia, Europe, and the United States. Future applications are projected to extend into specialized sectors including quantum computing and superconducting materials.
The takeaway
JinkoSolar is moving to align its grid-scale technology with specific end-user environments rather than raw performance gains. Watch for upcoming announcements at the company's Global Technology Day to see how this transition influences its broader energy storage and smart device roadmap.
