As of 31 December 2018, JinkoSolar’s mono wafer capacity was 5.7GW. The company worked on improving its production output and efficiency, which increased the capacity to 6.5GW as of 31 March 2019.

JinkoSolar CEO Kangping Chen said: “Global demand for high-efficiency mono products is increasing significantly with technology facilitating the shift from multi-based products to mono ones. We believe the new mono wafer production facility will enable us to greatly benefit from this growing demand.

“Our new production facility will serve as a leading benchmark for the industry to emulate with its industry-leading cost structure and cutting-edge technologies.

“We expect the added mono wafer capacity from this new facility to significantly increase the proportion of self-produced high efficient products and improve overall profitability.”
