Common Questions
Is JUSTSOLAR quality equivalent to Jinko Tiger Neo?βΌ
Yes β same TOPCon N-type cell technology, same IEC 61215/61730 certifications, same 25+30 year warranty structure. Our 600W module delivers 22.6% efficiency, within 0.2% of Tiger Neo. Where we differ: you work directly with our Director, not through a regional sales office. We welcome third-party inspection (SGS, TUV) before shipment.
Why is JUSTSOLAR 10-15% cheaper than Jinko?βΌ
Two reasons. (1) No distributor markup β you buy factory-direct from our 2GW facility, not through regional reps. (2) Brand premium β Tier-1 manufacturers charge 10-20% for brand recognition and BNEF bankability listing. For smaller buyers who don't need project finance bankability, that premium adds no value.
Can I get modules from your Macedonia factory for EU CBAM?βΌ
Yes. Our Macedonia facility produces modules with EU origin certification, avoiding CBAM carbon levies on Chinese-origin imports. Jinko does not currently have EU-based manufacturing for CBAM mitigation. Contact Frank for Macedonia-origin quotes and lead times.
What if my project specification requires Jinko specifically?βΌ
If your EPC contract or tender specifies Jinko, you need Jinko. However, many specifications simply say "Tier-1 TOPCon 600W+ with 25-year warranty" β JUSTSOLAR meets those specs at a lower $/W. Send us your bid documents; we'll tell you honestly if we qualify.
