en.Wedoany.com Reported - JinkoSolar recently signed a 300MW high-efficiency module supply agreement with a client in Tajikistan, all utilizing Tiger Neo 3.0 N-type TOPCon high-efficiency modules for the construction of a large-scale ground-mounted power station at the western foot of the Pamir Plateau. This project is Tajikistan's first large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic power station, marking a critical step in the country's energy transition and another benchmark project for JinkoSolar in the heart of Central Asia.
Tajikistan is located in southeastern Central Asia, with approximately 93% of its territory covered by mountains, earning it the nickname "Land of High Mountains." The power station is situated in a plateau valley at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, characterized by thin air, intense ultraviolet radiation, and high annual total irradiance. Winters are severely cold, while summer surface temperatures can exceed 50 degrees Celsius, with diurnal temperature variations reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius. Rapid cloud movement through the valleys, combined with steep ridges, creates complex shading conditions.
The Tiger Neo 3.0 module achieves a mass production conversion efficiency of 24.8%, with a maximum single-module power output of up to 670W. Under conditions where flat land suitable for mountainous terrain is scarce, higher module power helps reduce BOS costs such as racking foundations, piles, and cables, enabling more efficient use of limited valley resources.
In Tajikistan's high-altitude regions, atmospheric transparency is high, and the surface is mostly composed of light-colored rocks and gravel, offering excellent reflection conditions. The Tiger Neo 3.0 achieves a bifaciality rate of up to 90%, allowing the rear side to capture reflected light from the ground and scattered light from the sky, generating additional power gains and further reducing the levelized cost of electricity.
Facing rapidly moving cumulus clouds in the plateau valleys and large shadows cast by steep ridges during morning and evening hours, the Tiger Neo 3.0 reduces power losses caused by shading in partial shading scenarios through a redesigned cell layout topology and electrical architecture, ensuring stable operation of the power station under variable climatic conditions.
The module features a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, maintaining low power loss due to temperature fluctuations under the extreme temperature differences of the plateau's scorching summers and freezing winters. The first-year degradation is less than 1%, with a linear annual degradation of 0.35%, enabling stable power generation returns over a 30-year full lifecycle. As the core equipment supplier for this power station, JinkoSolar is supporting Tajikistan's energy independence process with the performance of the Tiger Neo 3.0.
