4. Management discussion and analysis
Mr. Xiande Li, Chairman and CEO of JinkoSolar, commented, "With our expertise in N-type TOPCon technology
With the advantages of patent portfolio, competitive products, and global marketing and manufacturing layout, we achieved more resilient operating performance in the challenging year of 2024, with full-year module shipments increasing by 18.3% year-on-year to 92.9GW, ranking first in the industry. The persistent supply-demand imbalance in 2024 has led to a decline in module prices, and our profitability has significantly decreased year-on-year due to short-term factors such as the elimination of outdated production capacity. Gross margin for the full year was:
10.9% compared to 16.0% in 2023. Net profit was $7.9 million, a significant year-on-year decline. Q4 group
With 25.2GW of unit shipments, in line with our guidance, module delivery prices and earnings declined QoQ as more than 50% of module sales in Q4 went to the lower-priced Chinese market, while the share of overseas high-priced orders decreased QoQ. Gross margin was 3.6% in the fourth quarter, compared to 15.7% in the third quarter, and net loss was $64.9 million.
In 2024, the global photovoltaic industry will continue to maintain rapid growth. In 2024, about 277GW of new PV capacity will be installed in China, a year-on-year increase of 28% and a record high. China's PV module exports will reach 236GW in 2024, up 13% year-on-year. At the same time, the intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand in the industry has led to a decline in the price of terminal products, and the profitability of all links in the industrial chain has been under pressure. In order to promote the healthy recovery and healthy development of the photovoltaic industry as soon as possible, the national level has made efforts to resolve the structural contradictions in the industry from both sides of supply and demand, and industry associations, enterprises and other parties are working hard to promote and participate. In November, relevant ministries and commissions successively issued policies for the photovoltaic industry in terms of raising the manufacturing threshold for new production capacity and lowering export tax rebates. In December, leading enterprises in the photovoltaic industry reached a self-discipline alliance on "low price limit" and "production limit", and actively implemented self-discipline actions. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) jointly issued a policy on market-oriented reform of feed-in tariffs for new energy to promote the high-quality development of the industry. Under the guidance of industry self-discipline and a series of policies, coupled with the recovery of demand after the Spring Festival, the price of the industrial chain and our module prices have stabilized and rebounded.
We are committed to continuous R&D investment and mass production of innovative products to stay ahead of the curve. As of the fourth quarter
At the end of the year, the average mass production efficiency of TOPCon cells was nearly 26.5%, and the gold line reached more than 26.7%. Expected in 2025
At the end of the day, the average mass production efficiency will reach about 27%. In addition, we have already started mass production of the ultra-efficient Tiger Neo third-generation product, which is expected to have a large-scale production capacity by the end of 2025.
We continue to eliminate outdated production capacity, while further improving the construction of global manufacturing capabilities. In our Shanxi N-type super factory, we continue to reduce costs and improve efficiency through the introduction of automation equipment and process improvement. The 2GWN module production capacity in the United States is basically at full capacity, and the Saudi Arabian project is progressing hard.
In the short term, as the operating performance of some leading enterprises in the photovoltaic industry falls into huge losses, the industry may be
Enter a period of deep adjustment. Some companies that do not have cost and efficiency competitiveness, product and technology iteration capabilities, and globalization capabilities will continue to clear out, promoting the industry to restore the balance between supply and demand. We have navigated through the ups and downs of the industry cycle many times with our keen market judgment and efficient execution, and we believe that these will continue to help us meet the challenges of the future and prepare for the ever-changing market opportunities. In the medium to long term, according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA), renewable energy will meet nearly half of the world's electricity demand by 2030, with wind and solar PV accounting for 30% of the total.
In the first quarter of 2025, module shipments are expected to be between 16 GW and 18 GW. Full year 2025
Module shipments are expected to be between 85 GW and 100 GW. We will also continue to optimize our asset-liability structure, maintain reasonable cash reserves, and enhance our ability to resist risks. We are more cautious about investing in capacity in 2025, with no new capacity other than TOPCon technology upgrades. By the end of 2025, monocrystalline wafer, high-efficiency cells and modules are expected to reach 120GW, 95GW and 130GW of production capacity. ”
