Solar Panel System GuideJinko and Canadian Solar both build high power N-type modules, but on different formats and warranty terms. This page sets their published datasheet numbers next to each other. It does not pick a favorite.
How to read this comparison
Every figure below is quoted from the manufacturer datasheet for a specific model. Efficiency and wattage are stated at standard test conditions, the same lab benchmark for both, so the numbers compare like for like. Warranty terms are worth reading closely because manufacturers split product and performance coverage differently. Numbers change as manufacturers release new model years, so always confirm against the current datasheet for the exact model a quote lists.
Jinko Tiger Neo 72HL4-(V) (from the Jinko datasheet)
Jinko lists the Tiger Neo 72HL4-(V) with N-type mono-crystalline cells in a 144-cell layout and a power range of 565 to 585 watts. Module efficiency at standard test conditions runs from 21.87 percent up to 22.65 percent.
On warranty, Jinko lists a 12 year product warranty and a 30 year linear power warranty, with 0.40 percent annual degradation over 30 years and 87.4 percent of power at year 30.
Canadian Solar TOPHiKu6 CS6.1-72TD (from the Canadian Solar datasheet)
Canadian Solar lists the TOPHiKu6 CS6.1-72TD with N-type TOPCon cells in a 144-cell layout and a power range of 595 to 620 watts. Module efficiency runs from 22.0 percent up to 23.0 percent.
On warranty, Canadian Solar lists a 12 year enhanced product warranty and a 30 year linear power performance warranty, with first year degradation no more than 1 percent and no more than 0.4 percent per year thereafter.
Where they differ on paper
On cell technology, Jinko lists N-type mono-crystalline for the Tiger Neo while Canadian Solar lists N-type TOPCon for the TOPHiKu6. Both are N-type approaches on a 144-cell format.
On headline numbers, the Canadian Solar datasheet lists a higher power band, 595 to 620 watts against the Jinko 565 to 585 watts, and a higher peak efficiency, 23.0 percent against 22.65 percent. Both list a 30 year power warranty, but Jinko lists a 12 year product term and Canadian Solar also lists 12 years of product coverage. These are the documented figures, not a verdict.
