About JinkoSolar
JinkoSolar has been making panels since 2006 and is one of the largest suppliers in the world by shipments. It sells in Australia through a local subsidiary and authorised distributors, which matters when you need to make a warranty claim.
pv magazine Australia reported that Jinko shipped more than 1 GW of panels into the Australian distribution market in 2024, which makes it one of the most installed brands on homes here.
