Jinko Solar is the world’s largest solar panel manufacturer — having shipped over 250 GW of panels to installers across more than 160 countries. That scale matters, because it means their quality control is under constant scrutiny and their Australian warranty support is backed by a company that isn’t going anywhere.
Easy Solar installs Jinko’s Tiger Neo series across Perth for residential and commercial customers who want high-efficiency N-type solar panels Perth wide at a competitive price. If you’re comparing brands and trying to figure out whether Jinko is genuinely good or just popular, here’s John’s honest take.
Jinko’s current line-up runs from mainstream residential Tiger Neo modules through to 620W+ commercial panels. These are the six models most commonly specified in the Australian market, ranked by where they fit best.
| # | Model | Power output | Cell technology | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tiger Neo 440W | 425W – 440W | N-type TOPCon | Most Perth homes |
| 2 | Tiger Neo All Black 430W | 415W – 430W | N-type TOPCon | Street-facing roofs |
| 3 | Tiger Neo Bifacial 445W | 435W – 445W | N-type TOPCon, dual glass | Tin roofs & ground mount |
| 4 | Tiger Pro 415W | 395W – 415W | P-type PERC | Budget builds |
| 5 | Tiger Neo 580W | 565W – 580W | N-type TOPCon | Commercial rooftops |
| 6 | Tiger Neo 620W+ | 600W – 635W | N-type TOPCon, bifacial | Industrial & utility |
The panel John specifies for most Easy Solar installs. N-type TOPCon cells, up to 23.0% module efficiency, a –0.29%/°C temperature coefficient and a 30-year linear output warranty — the longest on any mainstream panel sold in Australia. Virtually zero light-induced degradation means you get the full rated output from the day the system is switched on.

Two panels at opposite ends of the range. The bifacial dual-glass module generates from both faces and suits reflective tin roofs and ground mounts; the Tiger Pro is Jinko’s proven P-type PERC panel for budget-constrained builds. John will be straight with you about where each one makes sense — including on 6.6kW solar package pricing.
Dual-glass construction with a transparent rear face, so light reflected off a light-coloured roof or the ground is converted too. Typical rear-side gain in Perth conditions is 5–10% depending on mounting height and surface.

Large-format N-type modules for commercial rooftops, warehouses, agricultural sites and ground mounts. Fewer panels for the same system output means less mounting hardware, fewer roof penetrations and shorter install time. If you’re a Perth business with high daytime consumption, this is the range John quotes for commercial solar Perth projects.
The commercial workhorse. Easy Solar installs these across Perth commercial properties from retail premises to warehouses, where roof area is the constraint and install time costs money.
| Power range | 565W – 580W |
|---|---|
| Cell type | N-type TOPCon |
| Output warranty | 30 years |
| Best use | Commercial rooftops |
Commercial datasheets and yield modelling are included with every Easy Solar commercial proposal.
The heavyweight of the range, built for industrial roofs and ground-mount solar farms. Bifacial construction and very low degradation drive the lowest levelised cost of energy Jinko offers.
| Power range | 600W – 635W |
|---|---|
| Cell type | N-type TOPCon |
| Bifacial | Yes |

John has installed Jinko panels since Easy Solar’s first year. The reason they’ve stayed in our range is simple: they perform exactly as the datasheet says, the warranty process works when you need it, and the Tiger Neo series is one of the best-value N-type panels available in Australia right now.
Jinko’s Tiger Neo uses N-type TOPCon cells — the same cell technology as most premium panels — but Jinko’s scale means they can offer it at a price point that makes it accessible for the average Perth household. You’re not paying a premium for the brand name. You’re paying for the technology.
Output that LID permanently costs a P-type PERC panel in its first hours of sunlight. Tiger Neo shows virtually none.
Tiger Neo temperature coefficient — less output lost on a 40°C Perth day than a panel rated –0.35%.
Anti-PID certified — voltage stress degradation is a real risk in Perth’s high-UV environment.
Most solar panels sold in Australia until recently used P-type PERC cells. P-type is reliable and well-understood, but it suffers from two degradation issues: light-induced degradation (LID) and potential-induced degradation (PID). LID causes P-type panels to permanently lose 1–3% of their rated output in the first few hours of sunlight exposure. PID is a longer-term issue caused by voltage stress — very relevant in Perth’s high-UV environment.
N-type TOPCon cells — used in Jinko Tiger Neo — largely eliminate both problems. Tiger Neo panels show virtually zero LID, meaning you get the full rated output from the moment your system is switched on. Their anti-PID certification means they hold up better in Perth’s intense conditions over the long term.
The practical result for a Perth homeowner: a 6.6kW Jinko Tiger Neo system generates more energy in its first year — and in year 20 — than an equivalent P-type PERC system of the same rated output. That extra generation accumulates into real savings on your Synergy bill.
Most solar panels come with a 25-year output warranty. Jinko Tiger Neo comes with 30. That’s not just a marketing number — it’s backed by Jinko’s confidence in the long-term stability of N-type TOPCon cells, which degrade more slowly than P-type PERC. The warranty guarantees minimum output levels year by year, not just at year 25, so if your panels underperform at year 15 you have a documented claim. Easy Solar handles warranty coordination for all our customers. You call John, not a Shanghai call centre.
| Cover | Term | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Linear output warranty — Tiger Neo | 30 years | At least 87.4% of original rated output at year 30. |
| Linear output warranty — Tiger Pro | 25 years | The P-type PERC range carries the standard industry term. |
| Product warranty | 15 years | Covers manufacturing defects in the panel itself, materials and build. |
| Anti-PID certification | IEC 62804 | Tested against potential-induced degradation — relevant to Perth’s UV load. |
| Easy Solar workmanship warranty | 10 years | Our own install cover — and we lodge every Jinko claim on your behalf. |
Very similar — both excellent N-type panels, both Tier 1, both strong performers in Perth’s climate. Jinko edges out on output warranty (30 years vs 25). Trina is sometimes more competitively priced in certain configurations. John recommends based on what’s available and your system size.
REC uses HJT cells — marginally higher efficiency ceiling and a better temperature coefficient (–0.24%/°C vs –0.29%/°C). REC also carries a 25-year product warranty vs Jinko’s 15, and costs more. For most Perth households, Tiger Neo delivers 95% of REC’s performance at a noticeably lower price.
AIKO uses ABC (All Back Contact) cells — the highest efficiency available right now, up to 23.6%. AIKO suits roofs with limited space where maximising output per panel matters most. Tiger Neo is the more established, proven option at a lower price point.
Both N-type TOPCon, both strong. Canadian Solar has a longer Australian market presence. Tiger Neo’s 30-year warranty is longer than Canadian Solar’s standard 25. Similar price tier — John will recommend based on current stock and your quote.
Jinko Tiger Neo panels are CEC approved and qualify for Australia’s STC scheme — the solar rebate that reduces your system cost upfront. For a 6.6kW solar package using Tiger Neo panels in Perth, the STC rebate typically represents $1,800–$2,400 off the installation price.
Easy Solar manages all STC paperwork on your behalf. The rebate is applied as a direct discount — you don’t claim it separately or wait for a government payment.

Here are the questions Perth homeowners most commonly ask us about Jinko solar panels. If your question isn’t here, call John directly on 1300 646 419.
Yes. Jinko is the world’s largest solar panel manufacturer, Bloomberg Tier 1 rated, and widely regarded as one of the best value-for-performance options in Australia. Their Tiger Neo series has strong independent test results and performs well in Perth’s climate.
Tiger Pro uses P-type PERC cells. Tiger Neo uses N-type TOPCon cells — higher efficiency, lower degradation, and a 30-year warranty instead of 25. For Perth installs, Easy Solar recommends Tiger Neo for most customers.
Jinko warrants at least 87.4% output at year 30 under their linear output warranty. Real-world panel lifespans regularly exceed 30 years with proper maintenance.
A 6.6kW Jinko Tiger Neo system installed by Easy Solar typically ranges from $5,000–$6,800 after the STC rebate, depending on installation complexity and roof type. Call John on 1300 646 419 for an exact quote.
