EQ In Exclusive Conversation With Mr. Dhruv Sahni, Marketing Manager – South & Central Asia, Jinko Solar Regarding Renew X experience – EQ Mag Pro
A crisp and short conversation with Mr. Dhruv Sahni, Marketing Manager – South & Central Asia, Jinko Solar, about Jinko’s Renew X experience, footfall, latest technology adoption, journey throughout the pandemic, and a message to Jinko’s vast customer base…
As we started our conversation, talking about expectations from Renew X, Mr. Dhruv Sahni (Marketing Manager – South & Central Asia) said, “The footfall at the event is great. Jinko is the only international manufacturer participating on a full scale and not being represented by any of its distributors or resellers. I am glad that Jinko’s innovative booth is uniquely standing out at the event and justifies our title sponsorship – N Type Module Partners. Our new product – Tiger Neo based on N-Type TOPCon technology has garnered a lot of interest from everyone. We were sure that Renew X is the right platform for us showcase our latest offering in South India and promote the technology that is going to be the future of PV.”
Adding to this, he mentioned, “Till now the P-type mono modules were the go-to product in the market. Jinko is orchestrating that shift to N-type and has the first mover advantage. There is absolutely no doubt that this is what the market would want for the next many quarters to come, and the technology (specially TOPCon) will compete aggressively with everything else that is out there or will be. Jinko is constantly ramping up its N-Type production capacity to the tune of multiple GWs and the response from customers worldwide is just great. Tiger Neo is lower on degradation and higher on efficiency and has the best-in-class bifaciality factor. We are touching 620 watts with the 78-cell bifacial module. This technology is the most advanced and we are sure that Jinko will be delivering gigawatts of this product in the coming quarters, not just in India but worldwide. In fact, we have already started!”
Talking about the impacts of COVID on the overall business, Mr. Sahni added, “All of us, around the world, have experienced unprecedented levels of disruption in our homes and communities, as well as in our jobs. The PV industry has had its own set of challenges and roadblocks too – with sky rocketing prices, supply chain issues, demand-supply gaps, etc. I am proud to say, that we as a company, were able to steer through those challenges very well and the past 2 quarters are nothing less than a clear indication of how well we are positioned in the Indian market! To give you a perspective, Jinko shipped more than 3.5 GW of panels to India just in Q4’21 and Q1’22 – This is a record in itself and a testament of our customers’ trust in our brand.”
Towards the end, conveying Jinko’s message to its valued clients, Mr. Sahni said, “Jinko’s journey in India has been an exemplary one and we have proved our mettle in this market, both with record shipment volumes and cutting-edge technology. I am happy to share that we are the first and only global brand to complete 8GW of module shipments to India while we touch the 100GW global supply volume this year – Again, the first ever company to do so! N Type is the future of the PV industry and Tiger Neo will ride that wave with its TOPCon technology that is already proving to be the best for all commercial, residential and utility scale applications.”
