JinkoSolar to supply 1 GW solar modules to Uzbekistan

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — China’s JinkoSolar Holding Co has signed an agreement to supply 1 gigawatt of Tiger Neo 3.0 photovoltaic modules to Uzbekistan. The deliveries will be carried out through a local distributor and will be used in solar energy projects across the country.

Under the agreement, the high-efficiency solar modules will be deployed in distributed generation projects for the commercial and industrial sectors, as well as in selected large-scale solar power plants.

The company said the agreement strengthens its position in the Uzbek market, where it currently holds what it estimates to be the largest share in the photovoltaic module segment.

The deal comes amid Uzbekistan’s accelerated efforts to diversify its energy mix and expand the use of renewable energy sources.

The country is seen by international investors as one of the most promising solar energy markets in Central Asia due to its high solar radiation levels and a large number of sunny days throughout the year.

At the same time, Uzbekistan’s climatic conditions also present operational challenges, including extremely high summer temperatures, sharp daily temperature fluctuations, and sandstorms.

The Tiger Neo 3.0 modules feature cell efficiency of up to 27% and panel efficiency of up to 24.8%, enabling higher electricity generation with limited land resources and reduced infrastructure costs. The modules also use bifacial technology, allowing them to capture reflected light from surfaces, which is particularly effective in desert and steppe environments.

Previously, JinkoSolar had already signed agreements to supply 300 MW of solar modules to Uzbek developers. Industry data also shows growth in Uzbekistan’s renewable energy sector: in 2025, electricity generation from renewable sources in the country increased by 29% to 16.8 billion kWh, with the combined share of solar, wind, and hydropower reaching around 20% of total generation.
