Recently, the National Intellectual Property Administration announced the review results of the 25th China Patent Award, and JinkoSolar successfully won the Excellent Award for the patent "A Solar Battery and Its Preparation Method, Photovoltaic Module (Patent No: ZL202111084159.2)".

The China Patent Award is the highest award in the field of patents in China, co-organized by the National Intellectual Property Administration and the World Intellectual Property Organization. It aims to encourage and recognize patent holders and inventors who have made outstanding contributions to technological innovation and socio-economic development, strengthen the creation, protection, and application of intellectual property rights, and promote high-quality economic development. JinkoSolar's award is undoubtedly a recognition of its years of efforts in technological research and innovation.

For a long time, JinkoSolar has regarded technological innovation as the core driving force for enterprise development. From 2021 to the first half of 2024, the company has accumulated R&D investment of nearly 18 billion yuan. So far, JinkoSolar has applied for more than 4,200 patents globally, holding over 2,800 valid authorized patents, among which the N-type TOPCon authorized patents amount to an impressive 462, ranking first in the Industry. Meanwhile, in the context of increasingly fierce competition in the global photovoltaic industry, JinkoSolar also attaches great importance to the protection and application of intellectual property rights, not only strengthening the protection of core technologies globally but also actively supporting the common development of the industry ecosystem through patent licensing cooperation and other forms.

Through its own patent layout, JinkoSolar has built a solid technological barrier in the Industry, especially in the field of N-type TOPCon technology, where it has long been a leader in the global photovoltaic industry. With the continuous innovation of this technology, JinkoSolar has repeatedly set world records for photovoltaic Battery efficiency and power on a global scale. Just recently, at the end of 2024, the efficiency of perovskite tandem Battery based on N-type TOPCon technology reached 33.84%, marking the 27th time it has broken the world record for efficiency and power of photovoltaic products, demonstrating its sustained technological research and development advantage.

JinkoSolar has stated that it will continue to increase its investment in technological research and innovation, constantly enhancing its technological strength and innovation capabilities. The company plans to aim for an efficiency improvement of over 0.5% per year over the next three years to maintain its leading position in the field of photovoltaic technology. At the same time, the company will continue to strengthen the protection and management of intellectual property rights, providing strong support for the sustainability of the company.
