Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the first three quarters of 2025, our global module shipments totaled 61.9 GW, once again ranking No.1 worldwide. Driven by our outstanding product performance and strong presence in high-value overseas markets, gross margin improved significantly sequentially for two consecutive quarters, reaching 2.9% in the second quarter and 7.3% in the third quarter. Our net loss was US$122.3 million in the second quarter and US$105.3 million in the third quarter, both narrowing sequentially. We are pleased to see that our intensive efforts devoted to R&D for energy storage business in the past two years started to bear fruit gradually. In the first three quarters, our cumulative ESS shipments exceeded 3.3 GWh, representing significant growth since the second quarter. This, combined with our rising market share in overseas markets, has helped the profitability of our energy storage business to improve noticeably. With scale efficiency and competitiveness improving, we expect our energy storage business to become our second growth engine and contribute to our profit in 2026.

We continue to keep our module utilization rates at a reasonable level in the second and third quarters. Since the third quarter, prices of polysilicon, wafers, and cells have all risen, and module prices trended upward in China and overseas.

The technology upgrade toward high-power production capacity is accelerating industry consolidation. This technology upgrade also meets end-customers demand for high-power products and higher investment returns. We have made steady progress in high-power products upgrades in the third quarter and already delivered some high-power products at a premium of 1-2 US cents per watt, and expect high-power products to account for more than 60% of our total module shipments in 2026.

In China, market-oriented reforms are improving the economics of many energy storage projects while demand is increasing in Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Latin America because of improving economics and the global energy transition. In the U.S, the rapid expansion of AI data centers is straining domestic electricity supply, making solar+storage a safe and easy-to-deploy solution. We expect global demand for energy storage to experience significant growth, further validating our strategic decision to invest in the energy storage business and build a long-term competitive advantage with localized, one-stop, solar+storage solutions. As a leading enterprise in the PV sector, we possess long-established advantages in channels, brand reputation, and customer resources. We currently have 12 GWh of pack capacity and 5 GWh of battery cell capacity, and focus on high-margin overseas markets, particularly utility-scale and industrial and commercial projects.

The global supply chain is reshaping, and technological upgrades are accelerating high-quality development of the industry. With strong technological capabilities, long-term reliability, and global diversification of our energy storage business, we are well positioned to further strengthen our competitiveness and benefit from the next upward cycle in the industry.

Looking forward, we will continue to respond actively to the industry’s call for rational development and proactively adapt to changes in overseas policies to ensure sustainable supply for our customers. We will keep strengthening our competitive advantages in technology and global operations and balance scale and profitability to consolidate our industry-leading position. We expect total shipments to be between 85 GW and 100 GW for the full year of 2025, and ESS shipments to be approximately 6 GWh for the full year 2025.”
