JinkoSolar Launches New Solar Modules Tailored for Data Centres, Targets AI-Driven Demand
JinkoSolar has launched a new range of photovoltaic (PV) modules designed specifically for data centres, as rising power demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing drives interest in dedicated clean energy solutions.
The company said its new AIDC (AI Data Center) modules are built on its Tiger Neo 3.0 TOPCon platform and are aimed at conventional and AI data centres, GPU clusters, supercomputing facilities, and semiconductor manufacturing units.
The product, the firm said is designed to meet the high reliability, uptime and safety requirements of data centre infrastructure, which typically operates շուրջ the clock and demands stable, uninterrupted power supply.
24.8% Efficiency
JinkoSolar said the modules offer front-side efficiency of 24.8% or higher and power output of 670 watts or more, enabling higher energy generation per unit area and reducing levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) over the project lifecycle.
The company highlighted the modules’ high bifaciality of around 85%, allowing significant additional power generation from the rear side. Under favourable conditions, total output can exceed rated capacity, improving energy yield and potentially lowering power costs for large-scale computing facilities.
The modules have also been optimised for low-irradiance conditions, with improved performance during early morning, evening and cloudy weather. This is aimed at better aligning solar generation profiles with the steady, round-the-clock energy consumption patterns of data centres.
Fire resistance standard
On safety, JinkoSolar said the modules comply with stringent fire resistance standards, including IEC 61730-2:2023 and UL 790 Class A, and incorporate flame-retardant materials and arc-resistant technologies to reduce fire risk—considered critical for data centre installations.
The product has also been tested for durability under extreme conditions, including resistance to hail impacts of up to 55 mm and mechanical loads of up to 6,000 pascals on the front side, making it suitable for deployment in harsh climates such as deserts and high-latitude regions.
Low-Carbon Energy Source
The launch comes as data centre operators globally seek to secure reliable and low-carbon energy sources amid surging electricity demand driven by AI workloads.
JinkoSolar said the new modules are part of its broader strategy to develop application-specific solar solutions, particularly for energy-intensive sectors, as it looks to support the integration of renewable power into emerging digital infrastructure.
