JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSEJKS) is a solar module manufacturer headquartered in Shanghai, China, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2010. Its subsidiary Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. (SSE: 688223) was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Science and Technology Innovation Board in 2022.

History[edit]

In December 2006, JinkoSolar was established in December 2006 in Shangrao, Jiangxi, China.[1]

In May 2010, JinkoSolar was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2015, JinkoSolar established manufacturing operations in Malaysia.[2]

In 2019, officially opened the company's first U.S. factory.[3][4]

Jinko Solar provided the equipment for, and has a 20% ownership stake in, the 2 GW Al Dhafra Solar project in the United Arab Emirates, which was announced in 2020 and opened in 2023 and was one of the world's largest solar projects.[5][6]

In 2021, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection began blocking the import of JinkoSolar products into the United States due to concerns about the use of forced Uyghur labor.[7] In August 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce determined that JinkoSolar had not circumvented tariffs on Chinese made goods.[8][9]

In 2022, the company established a factory in Vietnam.[10][11]

In May 2023, agents from the United States Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation raided JinkoSolar's offices in Jacksonville, Florida.[12]

JinkoSolar is a member of the Silicon Module Super League. The four other original members of the group are Canadian Solar, Hanwha Q CELLS, JA Solar, and Trina Solar.[13]
