PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. Basis of presentation and use of estimates The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include expected credit loss provision, provision for inventories and advances to suppliers, impairment of long-lived assets, the economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment, project assets and intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities including accruals for warranty costs, guarantees, sale-leaseback, accounting for share-based compensation, fair value measurements of share-based compensation and financial instruments, legal contingencies, income taxes and related deferred tax valuation allowance. b. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. For the Group’s majority-owned subsidiaries, non-controlling interests is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity interests which are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. Consolidated net income on the consolidated statement of operation includes the net income attributable to non-controlling interests. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are recorded as non-controlling interests in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. c. Foreign currency translation The Group’s reporting currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the official currency in the PRC. The Company and its PRC subsidiaries use RMB as their functional currency, while local currencies have been determined to be the functional currency of its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC such as USD or EUR etc. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity using the applicable exchange rates at the applicable balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains or losses are included in exchange loss in the consolidated statements of operations. For consolidation purpose, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the RMB are translated into RMB using exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses and gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/ (loss). The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of PBOC, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in China’s foreign exchange trading system market. The Company’s aggregate amount of cash, cash equivalents, restricted short-term investments and restricted cash denominated in RMB amounted to RMB10,387.2 million and RMB11,149.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. d. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents deposits legally held by banks which are not available for the Group’s general use. These deposits are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit or guarantee, bank acceptance notes to vendors for purchase of machinery and inventories and foreign exchange forward contracts. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheet as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 RMB RMB Cash and cash equivalents 5,653,853,691 7,481,678,114 Restricted cash 576,546,098 593,093,671 Cash and cash equivalents included in held-for-sale assets 43,558,640 — Total 6,273,958,429 8,074,771,785 e. Restricted short-term investments Restricted short-term investments represent the time deposits at banks with original maturities longer than three months and less than one year, which are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit, guarantee, bank acceptance notes or deposits for short-term borrowings. f. Notes receivable and payable Notes receivable represents bank or commercial drafts that have been arranged with third-party financial institutions by certain customers to settle their purchases from the Group. The carrying amount of notes receivable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the notes receivables. The Group also issues bank acceptance notes to its suppliers in China in the normal course of business. The Group classifies the changes in notes payable as financing activities. Notes receivable and payable are typically non-interest bearing and have maturities of less than six months. g. Current expected credit losses In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”), which amends previously issued guidance regarding the impairment of financial instruments by creating an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted this ASC Topic 326 and several associated ASUs on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recorded as increase of accumulated retained earnings with amount of RMB6.6 million, among which RMB30.9 million was related to the decrease of allowance for accounts receivables-third parties, RMB15.0 million was related to the increase of allowance for accounts receivables- related parties and RMB9.3 million was related to the increase of allowance for other receivables and other current/non-current assets. As of January 1, 2020, upon the adoption, the expected credit loss provision for the current and non-current assets were RMB306,525,000 and RMB5,065,000, respectively. The Company’s trade receivable, notes receivable, guarantee receivables, deposits and other receivables are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables, notes receivable, guarantee receivables, deposits and other receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Company provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Company considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Company’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Company’s specific facts and circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded RMB14,086,414 expected credit loss expense in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2020, the expected credit loss provision for the current and non-current assets were RMB323,688,768 and RMB1,987,646, respectively. h. Accounts receivable Specific provisions are made against accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Group’s customers to make payments. The Group periodically assesses accounts receivable balances to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts should be made based upon historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Accounts receivable in the balance sheets are stated net of such provision, if any. Before approving sales to each customer, the Group conducts a credit assessment for each customer to evaluate the collectability of such sales. The assessment usually takes into consideration the credit worthiness of such customer and its guarantor, if any, the Group’s historical payment experience with such customer, industry-wide trends with respect to credit terms, including the terms offered by competitors, and the macro-economic conditions of the region to which sales will be made. The Group executes a sales order with a customer and arrange for shipment only if its credit assessment concludes that the collectability with such customer is probable. The Group may also from time to time require security deposits from certain customers to minimize its credit risk. After the sales are made, the Group closely monitors the credit situation of each customer on an on-going basis for any subsequent change in its financial position, business development and credit rating, and evaluates whether any of such adverse change warrants further action to be taken by the Group, including asserting claims and/or initiating legal proceedings against the customer and/or its guarantor, as well as making provisions. It is also the Group’s general practice to suspend further sales to any customer with significant overdue balances. The Group adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 and has also made updates to its policies and internal controls over financial reporting as a result of adoption. Details please refer to Note 2 (g) above. Prior to 2020, credit loss allowance of accounts receivable was determined to be the amount of probable incurred credit losses based on historical default experiences as well as other factors associated with the credit risk of the Group’s customers. i. Advances to suppliers The Group provides short-term and long-term advances to secure its raw material needs, which are then offset against future purchases. The Group continually assesses the credit quality of its suppliers and the factors that affect the credit risk. If there is deterioration in the creditworthiness of its suppliers, the Group will seek to recover its advances to suppliers and provide for losses on advances which are akin to receivables in operating expenses because of suppliers’ inability to return its advances. Recoveries of the allowance for advances to supplier are recognized when they are received. The Company classified short-term and long-term advances to suppliers based on management’s best estimate of the expected purchase in the next twelve-months as of the balance sheet date and the Group’s ability to make requisite purchases under existing supply contracts. The balances expected to be utilized outside of the 12 months are recorded in advances to suppliers to be utilized beyond one year. No provision of advance to suppliers was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. j. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Provisions are made for excessive, slow moving and obsolete inventories as well as for inventories with carrying values in excess of market. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so the Group continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, customer concentrations, and other factors. The reserve or write-down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required that could negatively impact the Group’s gross margin and operating results. If actual market conditions are more favorable, the Group may have higher gross margin when products that have been previously reserved or written down are eventually sold. The sale of previously reserved inventory did not have a material impact on our gross margin percentage for any of the years presented. In addition, the Group analyzes its firm purchase commitments, if any, at each period end. Provision is made in the current period if the net realizable value after considering estimated costs to convert polysilicon into saleable finished goods is higher than market selling price of finished goods as of the end of a reporting period. There was no provision recorded related to these long-term contracts for each of the three years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. k. Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the prices paid to acquire or construct the assets, interest capitalized during the construction period and any expenditure that substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 years Machinery and equipment 5 Furniture, fixture and office equipment 3~5 years Motor vehicles 4~5 years Construction in progress primarily represents the construction of new production line and buildings. Costs incurred in the construction are capitalized and transferred to property, plant and equipment upon completion, at which time depreciation commences. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, if any, is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the disposed assets, and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations upon disposal. l. Project Assets, net Project assets represented the costs of solar power plants held for generation of electricity revenue, held with the intention to sell to third parties and solar power plants under construction. Project assets are stated in the consolidated balance sheets at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment provision, if any. Costs of project assets consist primarily of costs relating to construction of solar power plants at various stages of development. These costs include costs for procurement of solar module and other equipment (including intercompany purchases), cost of land on which solar power plants are developed and other direct costs for developing and constructing solar power plants, such as costs for obtaining permits required for solar power plants and costs for designing, engineering, interest costs capitalized and installation in the course of construction. Such costs are capitalized starting from the point when it is determined that development of the solar power plant is probable. For a solar power project asset acquired from third parties, the initial cost is the acquisition cost which includes the consideration transferred and certain direct acquisition costs. Costs capitalized in the construction of solar power plants under development will be transferred to completed solar power plants upon completion and when they are ready for intended use, which is at the point of time when the solar power plant is connected to grids and begins to generate electricity. Depreciation of the completed solar power plant held for generation of electricity revenue commences once the solar power plant is ready for intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected life of 20 years. The Company does not depreciate project assets when such project assets are constructed for sale upon completion. Any revenue generated from such project assets connected to the grid would be considered incidental revenue and accounted for as a reduction of the capitalized project costs for development. The Group made decision to sell certain of its solar projects to third parties in the year of 2018. All cash flows related to the development and construction of project assets constructed for external sales are a component of cash flows from operating activities. m . Assets held for sale Long-lived assets to be sold are classified as held for sale when the following recognition criteria in ASC 360-10-45-9 are met: ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ The Group entered into an agreement to sell two solar power plants in Mexico to a Mexican renewable energy company in November 2019. Assets and liabilities related to these two solar power plants were reclassified from project assets as assets/liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2019. n . Interest Capitalization Interest expenses during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB429,347,129, RMB605,882,474 and RMB705,158,872, net of with interest income of RMB83,461,323, RMB170,984,099 and RMB216,618,294 respectively. The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the property, plant and equipment or project assets. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially completed or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. When no debt is specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Group capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project at the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings. Interest expense capitalized associated with the construction projects for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB51,243,764, RMB43,841,311 and RMB29,306,768, respectively. o . Land use rights and land lease (a) Land use rights Land use rights represent acquisition costs to purchase land use rights from the PRC government, which are evidenced by property certificates. The periods of these purchased land use rights are either 50 years or 70 years. The Company classifies land use rights as long term assets on the balance sheet and cash outflows related to acquisition of land use right as investing activities. Land use rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the term specified in the land use right certificate for 50 years or 70 years, as applicable. (b) Land lease For certain of the Group’s solar power project, the Group enters into land lease contracts with the owners of the land use rights. Under such lease arrangements, the owners retain the property right of the land use rights. While the Group can only set up the solar panels on these leased lands but does not have the right to sell, lease or dispose the land use rights. Accordingly, land leases are classified as operating leases. p . Intangible assets Intangible assets include purchased software and fees paid to register trademarks and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are 5 or 10 years, respectively. q. Business combination and assets acquisition U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the purchase method. The Group has adopted ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” and the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the future cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although management believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material. A non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of a subsidiary’s equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Consolidated net income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income includes the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests when applicable. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are also recorded as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when applicable. r . Investments in affiliates and other equity securities On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. This standard also changed the accounting for investments without a readily determinable fair value and that do not qualify for the practical expedient to be measured at fair value. A policy election can be made for these investments whereby investment will be carried at cost and adjusted in subsequent periods for any impairment or changes in observable prices of identical or similar investments. With the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, for investments in equity securities lacking of readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to use the measurement alternative defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes. Adoption of the standard had no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2019 and 2020. The Group’s investments include equity method investments and equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The Group holds equity investments in affiliates in which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. These investments are accounted for under equity method of accounting wherein the Group records its’ proportionate share of the investees’ income or loss in its consolidated financial statements. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured and recorded using a measurement alternative that measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. Prior to the fiscal year of 2018, these investments over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence were accounted for using the cost method of accounting, measured at cost less other-than-temporary impairment. Investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. The Group reviews several factors to determine whether an impairment is recognized. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (1) nature of the investment; (2) cause and duration of the impairment; (3) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (4) financial conditions and near term prospects of the issuers; and (5) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. s . Impairment of long-lived assets The Group’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, project assets, land use rights and intangible assets with finite lives. The Group’s business requires heavy investment in manufacturing equipment that is technologically advanced, but can quickly become significantly under-utilized or rendered obsolete by rapid changes in demand for solar power products produced with those equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Group may recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or discounted cash flow analysis. t . Leases The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method as of the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior periods have not been recast and the disclosures required under ASC Topic 842 are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception of the arrangement based on whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration, which relates to an asset which the Company does not own. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option, if any. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which it calculates based on the credit quality of the Company and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings, and adjusting this amount based on the impact of collateral over the term of each lease. The Company does not typically incur variable lease payments related to its leases. For a sale-leaseback transaction, sale-leaseback accounting shall be used by a seller-lessee only if the transaction meet all of the following: a) the transfer of the underlying asset meets the definition of a sale under ASC 606; b) the leaseback transaction does not result in a lease that would be classified as a finance lease; c) the contract does not contain a repurchase option, unless the option is exercisable at the fair value on the exercise date and there are alternative assets substantially the same as the transferred asset available in the market place. If a sale-leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting because of the transfer of underlying assets does not meet the definition of sale, it is accounted for as a financing under ASC 360. The Company has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) elect for each lease not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component; (ii) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 recognition requirements; and (iii) the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2019 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and(c) initial direct costs. u . Guarantees The Group issues debt payment guarantees in favor of JinkoPower, a related party. The guarantees require the Group to make payments to reimburse the holders of the debt subject to these guarantees for losses they incur JinkoPower fails to make repayments to the holders, when its liability to the holders falls due. A guarantee liability is initially recognized at the estimated fair value in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets unless it becomes probable that the Group will reimburse the holder of the guarantee for an amount higher than the carrying amount, in which case the guarantee is carried in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets at the expected amount payable to the holder. The fair value of the guarantee liability is measured by the total consideration to be received in connection with the provision of guarantee. The guarantee liability is amortized in straight line during the guarantee period. Receivables have also been recorded for the guarantee payments to be received (Note 28). Pursuant to the master service agreement signed with JinkoPower, guarantee service fee is settled on a half-year basis. v . Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted new revenue guidance ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), by applying the modified retrospective method under which the Company has elected to adopt the standard applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amo |

Composition of Income Tax Expense Income/(loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were taxed within the following jurisdictions: For the year ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 RMB RMB RMB Cayman Islands 57,199,049 (22,036,601) (784,811,121) PRC 532,128,623 498,042,536 444,368,215 Other countries (181,952,469) 775,180,276 906,814,798 Income before income taxes 407,375,203 1,251,186,211 566,371,892 For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the loss attributed to Cayman Islands was mainly due to the fair value loss from convertible senior notes and call options. Increase in the income before taxes of other countries was mainly attributable to the higher profit generated by the Group's subsidiaries in U.S. The current and deferred positions of income tax expense included in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 RMB RMB RMB Current income tax (expenses)/benefits PRC (37,136,613) (25,562,374) 26,472,926 Other countries (74,198,842) 39,207,147 (110,725,623) Total current income tax expenses (111,335,455) 13,644,773 (84,252,697) Deferred tax (expenses)/benefits 106,925,932 (291,623,774) (94,158,083) Income tax expenses, net (4,409,523) (277,979,001) (178,410,780) Reconciliation of the differences between statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate Reconciliation between the statutory CIT rate of 25% and the Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations is as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 % % % Statutory CIT rate 25.0 25.0 25.0 Effect of permanent differences: —Share-based compensation expenses 1.1 0.1 0.1 —Change in fair value of convertible senior notes and call options 0.0 0.6 32.0 —Accrued payroll and welfare expenses 4.2 0.5 0.4 —Change of enacted tax rate (3.2) 0.7 (7.2) —Other non-deductible expenses including tax preferences (19.5) (7.0) (6.6) Difference in tax rate of subsidiaries outside the PRC 0.6 4.5 (3.1) Effect of tax holiday for subsidiaries (14.0) (4.6) (7.8) Change in valuation allowance 6.9 2.4 (1.3) Effective tax rate 1.1 22.2 31.5 Other tax preferences in 2018, 2019 and 2020 was mainly due to the additional income tax deduction amounting of RMB59.3 million, RMB88.0 million and RMB83.3 million for R&D costs approved by local tax bureau in the second quarter of 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Decrease in the difference in tax rate of subsidiaries outside the PRC was mainly attributable to the lower applied tax rate of the Group's subsidiaries in U.S. from around 27.9% in 2019 to around 23.59% in 2020. The aggregate amount and per share effect of reduction of CIT for certain PRC subsidiaries as a result of tax holidays are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 RMB RMB RMB The aggregate amount of effect 57,284,294 57,373,029 44,190,456 Per share effect—basic 0.37 0.34 0.25 Per share effect—diluted * 0.37 0.34 0.25 *Due to the dilutive impact of call option in 2019 and 2020, the denominator for diluted earnings per share is less than that for the basic earnings per share (Note 22). Therefore, the Company used the basic denominator for both of the basic and diluted effect to calculate above per share effect of tax holidays in 2019 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, valuation allowances of RMB114,620,700, RMB144,316,817 and RMB136,847,274 were provided against deferred tax assets because it was more likely than not that such portion of deferred tax will not be realized based on the Group’s estimate of future taxable incomes of all its subsidiaries. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will result in a non-cash income statement benefit when those events occur. Due to the strong financial performance and profitable condition of certain subsidiaries, the Company has determined that the future taxable income of those subsidiaries is sufficient to realize the benefits of such deferred tax assets. As a result, the Company reversed the valuation allowance of RMB1.4 million, RMB32.7 million and RMB44.9 million in 2018, 2019 and 2020. |

LEASES | 21. LEASES The Group’s operating lease primarily represent offices and overseas manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Most of the operating leases are for terms ranging from 3 to 20 years, although terms and conditions can vary from lease to lease. The Group has assessed the specific terms and conditions of each operating lease to determine the amount of the lease payments and the length of the lease term, which includes the minimum period over which lease payments are required plus any renewal options that are both within the Group's control to exercise and reasonably certain of being exercised upon lease commencement. The Company assesses all relevant factors to determine if sufficient incentives exist as of lease commencement to conclude whether or not renewal is reasonably certain. There are no material residual value guarantees provided by the Company nor any restrictions or covenants imposed by the operating leases to which the Company is a party. In determining the lease liability, the Group utilizes its incremental borrowing rate for debt instruments with terms approximating the term for its operating leases to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value. The Company does not incur variable lease payments for its operating leases. The Group’s finance leases primarily represent machinery and equipment utilized in the Group's production facilities. All of the Group’s finance leases meet one or more of the criteria as: a) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term; b) the lease grants the Group an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; c) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; d) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the Group that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; e) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. ROU of capital lease is recorded at the aggregate of future minimum lease payments and estimated residual value of the leased equipment. In determining the lease liability, the Group utilizes its incremental borrowing rate for debt instruments with terms approximating the term for its capital leases to discount the future lease payments over the lease term to present value. The balances for the operating and finance leases where the Group is the lessee are presented as follows: 2019 2020 December 31 December 31 RMB RMB Operating leases: Operating lease liabilities - current 40,043,113 48,244,010 Operating lease liabilities - non-current 279,534,370 277,239,113 Total operating lease liabilities 319,577,483 325,483,123 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 317,903,640 316,512,346 Financing leases: Financing lease liabilities - current 227,613,208 272,329,554 Financing lease liabilities - non-current 583,490,228 313,087,663 Total financing lease liabilities 811,103,436 585,417,217 Financing lease right-of-use assets, net 1,259,713,215 829,122,192 (a) The components of lease expenses were as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 RMB RMB Lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets 145,539,290 146,965,210 Interest of lease liabilities 45,811,621 46,533,172 Expenses for short-term lease within 12 months 5,064,442 6,431,457 Total lease cost 196,415,353 199,929,839 (b) Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 RMB RMB Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash outflows for operating leases 50,758,114 50,403,567 Operating cash outflows for finance leases 23,340,016 32,628,104 Financing cash outflows for finance leases 284,089,511 250,935,455 Total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: 358,187,641 333,967,126 Lease obligation accrued in exchange for right-of-use assets: Operating lease liabilities 269,671,708 76,559,666 Finance lease liabilities 937,056,577 — Total lease obligation accrued in exchange for right-of-use assets: 1,206,728,285 76,559,666 (c) Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 Weighted-average remaining lease term 3.57 years 3.64 years Weighted-average discount rate 5.64 % 5.86 % (d) Maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: Year ending December 31, RMB Year ended December 31, 2021 362,923,741 2022 235,245,859 2023 232,895,559 Thereafter 182,353,507 Total undiscounted lease payments 1,013,418,666 Less: imputed interest (102,518,326) Total lease liabilities 910,900,340 (e) Future minimum lease payments for the Company’s leases were as follows: Year ending December 31, RMB Year ended December 31, 2021 369,355,198 2022 235,245,859 2023 232,895,559 Thereafter 182,353,507 Total minimum lease payments 1,019,850,123 The Company had no lease that has not yet commenced as at December 31, 2020. - Finance lease obligations and others prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 The Company elected the practical expedients not to reassess arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2019 for whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, the lease classification applied or to separate initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company remained the lease classification and accounting of its capital lease and sale-leaseback arrangements entered into prior than January 1, 2019. The Company’s capital lease and sale-leaseback arrangements entered into prior than January 1, 2019 were as follows: During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Company sold certain module equipment (“leased assets”) to Zhejiang Leasing (the “purchaser-lessor”) and simultaneously entered into one or three-year contracts to lease back the leased assets from the purchaser-lessor. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over three years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease. The accounting was eliminated as intercompany transaction in the consolidated financial statements of the Company in previous periods. Upon the disposition of Zhejiang leasing, the lease is classified as capital lease. In October 2017, the contract was early terminated upon both parties' approval. The Company recognized finance expenses amounted to RMB1.4 million upon the early termination of the contract. In May 2017, the Company sold certain machinery and equipment (“leased assets”) with carrying amount of RMB201.1 million to a third party (the “purchaser-lessor”) for consideration of RMB150.0 million and simultaneously entered into a three-year contract to lease back the leased assets from the purchaser-lessor. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over three years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease. The lease is classified as capital lease. In connection with this sale-leaseback transaction, the Company recognized a loss of approximately RMB51.1 million, which is being deferred and amortized into expense over the remaining useful lives of the leased assets. Through the leaseback, the Company substantially retains all of the benefits and risks incident to the ownership of the property sold, therefore, the sale-leaseback transaction is a financing with the underlying assets as collateral. In July 2017, the Company sold certain machinery and equipment (“leased assets”) with carrying amount of RMB815.4 million to a third party (the “purchaser-lessor”) for consideration of RMB600.0 million and simultaneously entered into a four-year contract to lease back the leased assets from the purchaser-lessor. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over four years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at RMB0.6 million upon the expiration of the lease. The lease is classified as capital lease. In connection with this sale-leaseback transaction, the Company recognized a loss of approximately RMB215.4 million, which is being deferred and amortized into expense over the remaining useful lives of the leased assets. Through the leaseback, the Company substantially retains all of the benefits and risks incident to the ownership of the property sold, therefore, the sale-leaseback transaction is a financing with the underlying assets as collateral. In November 2017, the Company entered into a two-year finance leasing contract with a third-party lessor to lease certain machinery and equipment with carrying amount of RMB74.9 million. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over two years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease. The lease is classified as capital lease. In January 2018, the Company sold certain machinery and equipment (“leased assets”) with carrying amount of RMB52.0 million to a third party (the “purchaser-lessor”) for consideration of RMB50.0 million and simultaneously entered into a three-year contract to lease back the leased assets from the purchaser-lessor. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over three years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at RMB1.0 yuan upon the expiration of the lease. The lease is classified as capital lease. In connection with this sale-leaseback transaction, the Company recognized a loss of approximately RMB2.0 million, which is being deferred and amortized into expense over the remaining useful lives of the leased assets. Through the leaseback, the Company substantially retains all of the benefits and risks incident to the ownership of the property sold, therefore, the sale-leaseback transaction is a financing with the underlying assets as collateral. In May 2018, the Company entered into a two-year finance leasing contract with a third-party lessor to lease certain machinery and equipment with carrying amount of RMB72.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company is required to pay to the purchaser-lessor quarterly lease payment over two years and is entitled to obtain the ownership of these equipment at a nominal price upon the expiration of the lease. The lease is classified as capital lease. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the net value of these leased assets are: As of December 31, 2019 2020 RMB RMB Equipment 1,510,944,643 1,072,214,761 Less: accumulated depreciation (251,231,428) (243,092,569) Net Value 1,259,713,215 829,122,192 The Group amortized deferred losses related to sale-leaseback transactions amounted to RMB36,638,880, RMB33,560,902 and RMB27,502,575 during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. |

For the year ended December 31, 2020, incremental shares under treasury stock method in relation to share options of 1,110,760 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the individually dilutive effect of these incremental shares is antidilutive to the overall calculation of diluted EPS. Because of the dilutive impact, potential shares underlying the call option arrangement (Note 24) were removed from weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding since its issuance date, and changes in income of the assumed exercise of call option, including the change in fair value of the call option, foreign exchange gain /(loss) on the call option, and the issuance costs of the call option were also recorded as the adjustment to the consolidated net income to arrive at the diluted net income available to the Company’s ordinary shareholders. |

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS | |
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS | 23. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS According to the guidance promulgated by the central government, companies (and employees) are required to contribute, in specified portions, to the social insurance funds (including medical care insurance, work injury insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and pension benefits) as well as the housing funds (collectively, “employee welfare funds”) on a monthly basis for all of the employees based on such employees’ actual salaries or the applicable capped salary base, whichever is lower. An employee is entitled to request its employer to make the required portion of contributions in the statutory amounts to the employee welfare funds. In line with local customary practices, the Company has made contributions to the social insurance funds which met the requirement of the local minimum wage standard, instead of its employees’ actual salaries as required by the above described guidance, and has not made full contribution to the housing funds. Based on the Company’s observation of local practices and consultation with relevant government authorities, the Company believes its practice has been consistent with the common practice adopted by businesses in Shangrao and Haining, where the Company’s main subsidiaries operate. However, the Company believes it is probable that it will be required to make additional contributions to the employee welfare funds if (i) the government authorities were to strictly enforce the statutory contribution requirements, or (ii) the employees were to request the Company to make full contributions to their employee welfare funds (such request, if made, would most likely be supported by the labor arbitration center or the labor administrative bureau). Therefore, the Company recognizes the difference between the amount of its actual contributions and the statutory contribution requirements under the guidance promulgated by the central government as a liability for employee welfare benefits. The unpaid balance of accrued liability accrued for the welfare benefits were RMB595,295,007 and RMB605,830,905 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, respectively. On October 28, 2010, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress issued and adopted the Social Insurance Law (the “Social Insurance Law”), which became effective on July 1, 2011. The Social Security Law imposes certain fines for the aggregated amount of any outstanding contributions if such contributions are not made within a prescribed time period. In light of this requirement, the Company had accrued a penalty on the basis of a daily rate of 0.05% of the outstanding contributions as provided under the Social Insurance Law prior to 2014. The unpaid balance of penalty accrued for employee welfare benefits were RMB12,063,712 and RMB25,807,949 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. On September 26, 2013, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the People’s Republic of China announced “Regulations on the Declaration and Payment of Social Welfare” (“New Social Security Regulation”), which took effect on November 1, 2013. The New Social Security Regulation clarifies that the local social security authority should issue a notification to the employers who fail to make appropriate contribution of social security and a late-payment penalty charge will only be imposed to employers who fail to pay the outstanding contribution within five days upon the receipt of the notification. However, there were different interpretations of the New Social Security Regulation as to applicability of the penalty charge by different local authorities in difference cities and provinces in late 2013, therefore, the Company performed investigation and legal assessment as well as communicating with relevant local authorities. Legal assessment was completed in late 2014. In the opinion of the management, the probability that the Company would be required to pay late-payment penalty in connection with the unpaid contribution is remote, given that the Company has received certificates from local social security authorities which confirmed that the Company was in compliance with the local social insurance regulations as of December 31, 2014 and that local social security authorities have not issued any notification for payment of outstanding contribution to the Company. Accordingly, the Company did not accrue for late-payment penalty since then. |

CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES AND CALL OPTIONS | 24. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES AND CALL OPTIONS 2019 Convertible Notes The Company issued USD150 million of convertible senior notes on January 22, 2014, which matured on February 1, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The interest rate was 4% per annum payable semi-annually, in arrears. No accrued interest to be paid on the 2019 Notes when they are converted. Holders had the option to convert their 2019 Notes from the earlier of (i) when the registration statement of the 2019 Notes became effective and (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the 2019 Notes were first issued, through to and including the business day prior to the maturity date into ADSs representing the ordinary shares initially at a conversion rate of 21.8221 ADSs per USD1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately USD45.83 per ADS). The conversion rate was subject to change on anti-dilution and upon certain fundamental changes. Fundamental changes were defined as 1) any “person” or “group” beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Company’s shares or has the power to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors; 2) Company consolidates with, or merge with or into, another person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company; 3) Termination of trading of Company’s ADSs; and 4) adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. The holders had the option to require the Company to repurchase the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a fundamental change for an amount equal to the 100% of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest in the event of fundamental changes. Management assessed that the likelihood of fundamental change was remote. The holders had the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on February 1, 2017 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. While the 2019 Notes remained outstanding, the Company or its subsidiaries should not create or permit to subsist any security upon its property, assets or revenues (present or future) to secure any international investment securities or to secure any guarantee of or indemnity of any international investment securities unless the obligations under the Notes and the indenture (a) were secured equally and ratably therewith, or (b) had the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. As a result of the depressed market conditions, the Company repurchased the 2019 Notes with a face value of USD88.9 million or 59.3% of the Notes at approximately 96% of the face value during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company repurchased 2019 Notes with a face value of USD61.1 million or 40.7% of the 2019 Notes at approximately 100% of the face value during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company repurchased 2019 Notes with a face value of USD10,200 or 0.0% of the 2019 Notes at approximately 100% of the face value during the year ended December 31, 2019. 2024 Convertible Notes The Company issued USD85 million of Convertible Senior Notes on May 17, 2019, which will mature on June 1, 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The interest rate is 4.5% per annum payable semi-annually, in arrears. Holders have the option to convert their 2024 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date at a conversion rate of 52.0833 ADSs per USD1,000 principal amount of the Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately USD19.20 per ADS). The conversion rate is subject to change on anti-dilution and upon certain fundamental changes. Fundamental changes are defined as 1) any “person” or “group” beneficially owns (directly or indirectly) 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of Company’s shares or has the power to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors; 2) Company consolidates with, or merge with or into, another person or the Company sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company; 3) Termination of trading of Company’s ADSs; and 4) adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution. The holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a fundamental change for an amount equal to the 100% of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest in the event of fundamental changes. Management assessed that the likelihood of fundamental change is remote. The holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes on June 1, 2021 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. While the 2024 Notes remain outstanding, the Company or its subsidiaries should not create or permit to subsist any security upon its property, assets or revenues (present or future) to secure any international investment securities or to secure any guarantee of or indemnity of any international investment securities unless the obligations under the Notes and the indenture (a) are secured equally and ratably therewith, or (b) have the benefit of such other security, guarantee, indemnity or other arrangement as shall be approved by holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Accounting for 2019 Convertible Notes The Company has RMB as its functional currency, and the 2019 Notes are denominated in USD. As a result, the conversion feature is dual indexed to the Company’s stock as well as the RMB and USD exchange rate, and is considered an embedded derivative which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value election can be made instrument by instrument and shall be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election. The Company elected to measure the 2019 Notes in their entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income or loss at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. Further, as the functional currency of the Company is RMB, the fair value of the Notes is translated into RMB at each balance sheet date with the difference being reported as exchange gain or loss. In addition, all issuance costs associated with the 2019 Notes offering have been expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 825-10-25-3, which states that upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive as incurred and not deferred. The Company completed its repurchasing of the 2019 Notes in the year of 2019. (Note 31) Accounting for 2024 Convertible Notes The Company has RMB as its functional currency, and the 2024 Notes are denominated in USD. As a result, the conversion feature is dual indexed to the Company’s stock as well as the RMB and USD exchange rate, and is considered an embedded derivative which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The fair value election can be made instrument by instrument and shall be supported by concurrent documentation or a preexisting documented policy for automatic election. The Company elected to measure the 2024 Notes in their entirety at fair value. According to ASC 825-10-45-5, the Company measures the financial liability at fair value with qualifying changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company also presents separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of the liability that results from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk. Further, as the functional currency of the Company is RMB, the fair value of the 2024 Notes is translated into RMB at each balance sheet date with the difference being reported as exchange gain or loss, except for the exchange rate remeasurement of the component of the change in fair value of the liability resulting from the cumulative changes in instrument-specific credit risk which is presented in other comprehensive income. In addition, all issuance costs associated with the 2024 Notes offering have been expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 825-10-25-3, which states that upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive as incurred and not deferred. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes amounted to approximately RMB728,215,869 and RMB1,831,612,124.The Company recorded loss from foreign exchange remeasurement of RMB7,675,500 and gain from foreign exchange remeasurement of RMB38,359,987 in net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded loss from change in fair value of 2024 Notes of RMB114,149,092 and RMB1,202,082,070 in net income for the year ended December 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company also recorded loss from change in fair value of 2024 Notes of RMB21,089,777 in other comprehensive income and gain from change in fair value of 2024 Notes of RMB60,325,828 in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 2019 and 2020, respectively (Note 31). Call Option Concurrent with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, the Company used approximately USD30 million of the net proceeds from the offering to enter into zero-strike call option transactions (“Call option”), covering 1,875,000ADSs, with the initial purchasers of the 2024 Notes (“Dealer”). The Call option is intended to facilitate privately negotiated transactions by which investors in the Notes are able to hedge their investment. The Call option expires on July 28, 2021 or when the Dealer request early settlement. The Company has the right to elect settlement method. If cash settlement applies, the Dealer will deliver the amount of cash to the Company calculated based on the number of shares determined on the commencement date and the volume-weighted average price of the Company shares on the settlement date. If physical settlement applies, the Company will receive the fixed number of ADSs determined at the commencement date of the transaction. The economic substance of the Call option is the same as a traditional forward repurchase contract. Because the Call option permitted net cash settlement, it was classified as a derivative instrument measured initially and subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company accounted for the Call option as a free-standing derivative asset on its consolidated balance sheet when the Call option was entered into in May 2019. The derivative asset was initially recorded at its fair value of USD30 million on the commencement date which represented the amount of cash transferred to the Dealer. The derivative asset was subsequently recorded at fair value with the change in fair value through May 2019. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of the call option with the amount of RMB84,891,634 and RMB476,290,547 in net income for the year ended December 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company also recorded an exchange gain of the call option with the amount of RMB2,709,000 and an exchange loss of the call option with the amount of RMB13,539,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively (Note 31). |

EQUITY FINANCING IN JIANGXI JINKO | |
EQUITY FINANCING IN JIANGXI JINKO | 26. EQUITY FINANCING IN JIANGXI JINKO In October 2020, Jiangxi Jinko, principal operating subsidiary of the Group, completed an RMB3.10 billion (approximately USD461.2 million) equity financing. Immediately after the closing, third-party investors together with the Company's principal shareholders and senior management personnel, directly or through their investment arms, collectively own approximately a 26.7% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko and the Company owns 73.3% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko. Pursuant to the equity financing agreements, third-party investors have the option to require the Company’s principal shareholders (Mr. Xiande Li, Mr. Kangping Chen and Mr. Xianhua Li) to repurchase their equity interests in Jiangxi Jinko upon the occurrence of certain events. Considering these rights of third-party investors solely against the Company’s principal shareholders and did not change the rights attached to the Jiangxi Jinko’s ordinary shares, the equity financing in Jiangxi Jinko is not mandatorily nor contingently redeemable against Jiangxi Jinko or the Group, and therefore, the equity financing was classified as noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Given the Group may not have been able to consummate the equity financing without the rights provided by the Company’s principal shareholders, values of the rights provided by the Company’s principal shareholders are deemed as shareholder contributions from the principal shareholders to the Company. Since the contributions from the Company’s principal shareholders incurred directly attributable to Jiangxi Jinko’s equity financing, the contributions were treated as issuance cost of the equity financing and was recorded as a reduction of noncontrolling interest with a credit of additional paid-in capital. Fair value of the rights provided by the Company’s principal shareholders approximated RMB139.9 million. |

CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION | |
CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION | 29. CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION (a) Concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted short-term investments, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted short-term investments were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC. The Group is also exposed to the credit and financial risks of its suppliers to which the Group made advances. The Group’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially affected if the suppliers fail to meet their obligations of supplying silicon materials according to the contractually agreed schedules. (b) Foreign currency risk The Group has contracts for the sales of products, purchases of materials and equipment which are denominated in foreign currencies, including US Dollars, and Euros. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 81.9% of the Group’s revenues are dominated in foreign currencies, including US Dollars, Euros, Yen, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, South African Rand and Pounds. Renminbi, the functional currency of the Group, is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. (c) Major customers The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition whenever deemed necessary and generally does not require collateral. The Group maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectability of all accounts receivable, which takes into consideration an analysis of historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. There is no account receivable represented by customers with balances over 10% of accounts receivables as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, our largest customer accounted for 7.2%, 10.9% and 5.3% of the Group’ total revenue, respectively. (d) Interest rate The Group’s main interest rate exposure relates to long-term borrowings. The Group does not hedge against interest rate. Any increase in interest rates would increase the Group’s finance expenses relating to our variable rate indebtedness and increase the costs of issuing new debt or refinancing its existing indebtedness. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 30. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) Capital commitments The Group entered into several purchase agreements and supplementary agreements with certain suppliers to acquire machineries to be used in the manufacturing of its products. The Group’s total future payments under these purchase agreements amounted to RMB3,625,386,746 as of December 31, 2020. Year ending December 31, RMB 2021 3,239,195,468 2022 386,191,278 Total 3,625,386,746 (b) Contingencies In November 2018, one of the Group’s customers in Singapore (the “Singapore Customer”) filed two Notices of Arbitration (“NoAs”) in two arbitrations with Arbitration No. ARB374/18/PPD (“ARB 374”) and Arbitration No. ARB375/18/PPD (“ARB 375”), respectively, against Jinko Solar Import & Export Co., Ltd. (“Jinko IE”) at Singapore International Arbitration Centre. These NoAs were subsequently amended by the Singapore Customer, and Jinko IE received the amended Notices of Arbitration from the Singapore Customer on December 20, 2018. The Singapore Customer claimed respectively in ARB 374 and ARB 375 that the photovoltaic solar modules supplied by Jinko IE to the Singapore Customer under the purchase agreement dated December 25, 2012 (“2012 Contract”) and January 28, 2013 (“2013 Contract”) were defective. The Singapore Customer sought, inter alia, orders that Jinko IE replace the modules and/or that Jinko IE compensate the Singapore Customer for any and all losses sustained by the Singapore Customer as a result of the supply of allegedly defective modules. In January 2019, Jinko IE issued its responses to the NoAs in ARB 374 and ARB 375, disputing the Singapore Customer’s reliance on the arbitration clauses in the 2012 Contract and the 2013 Contract, denying all claims raised by the Singapore Customer, and disputing that the Singapore Customer was entitled to the reliefs claimed in the arbitrations. Arbitration tribunals in both ARB 374 and ARB 375 were constituted on September 5, 2019, which directed on January 14, 2020 that (i) the Singapore Customer shall submit its statement of claim in both ARB 374 and ARB 375 and Jinko IE shall submit its statement of defense no later than five months after Singapore Customer’s submission of statement of claim; and (ii) the hearing of the arbitrations shall be bifurcated with the liability issue to be first determined by the tribunals, and then depending on the outcome of the liability issue, the issue of remedies/damages payable to be determined in the subsequent proceedings in such manner as may be directed by the tribunals. On August 7, 2020, the Singapore Customer submitted its statement of claim in both ARB 374 and ARB 375. In the statement of claim, the Singapore Customer maintained its claim that the photovoltaic solar modules supplied by Jinko IE to them under the 2012 Contract and the 2013 Contract were defective, and that Jinko IE should be liable in respect of all the modules supplied under the 2012 Contract and the 2013 Contract. On December 16, 2020, following Jinko IE’s request, the tribunals in both ARB 374 and ARB 375 directed that Jinko IE’s statement of defense should be submitted by February 11, 2021. On February 11, 2021, Jinko IE submitted its statement of defense and relevant evidence. In the statement of defense, Jinko IE (i) requested the tribunal to declare that it lacks jurisdiction over the dispute; and (ii) denied all the Singapore Customer claims and requested the same be dismissed by the tribunal. On February 22, 2021, upon mutual agreement by Jinko IE and the Singapore Customer, the tribunal directed that ARB 374 and ARB 375 should be consolidated. The Group believes that Jinko IE has reasonable grounds to challenge the Singapore Customer’s claims in the arbitrations on jurisdiction and merits and will vigorously defend against the claims made by the Singapore Customer. Information available prior to issuance of the financial statements did not indicate that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the Group is also unable to reasonably estimate the range of any liability or reasonably possible loss, if any. In March 2019, Moura Fábrica Solar – Fabrico e Comércio de Painéis Solares, Lda. (“MFS”) submitted a request for arbitration at International Chamber of Commerce (Case No. 24344/JPA) against Projinko Solar Portugal, Unipessoal Lda (“Projinko”) in connection with dispute arising out of (i) a business unit lease agreement (the “Business Unit Lease Agreement”) entered into on August 23, 2013 between MFS and Jinko Solar (Switzerland) AG (“Jinko Switzerland”), (ii) an assignment agreement dated May 26, 2014, whereby Jinko Switzerland assigned and transferred to Projinko all rights, title, interest, liabilities and obligations under the Business Unit Lease Agreement, and (iii) an amendment agreement relating to the Business Unit Lease Agreement dated December 29, 2015 (the Business Unit Lease Agreement, the assignment agreement and the amendment agreement are collectively referred to as “Lease Agreements”). In order to ensure the performance of parties’ respective obligations under the Lease Agreements, a guarantee from the parent company of MFS, Acciona Energia, S.A.U. and a bank guarantee was granted in favor of Projinko, and a guarantee from the parent company of Projinko, Jiangxi Jinko, and a bank guarantee was also granted in favor of MFS. The notice of request for arbitration had not been duly and effectively served by MFS to Projinko. In July 2019, MFS submitted a request at International Chamber of Commerce to join Jinko Switzerland and Jiangxi Jinko as two additional parties, alleging they were indispensable to the current dispute and claiming against Projinko, Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland recovery of two drawdowns by Projinko under the bank guarantee in the amount of EUR1965,170 and EUR846,604.41, respectively, with the interests thereon as well as economic damages suffered by MFS as a result thereof. In September 2019, Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce that they rejected to arbitrate any dispute with MFS and were not bound by valid and effective arbitration agreement with MFS; Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland also opposed the constitution of an arbitration tribunal and the jurisdiction of any arbitration tribunal that may be constituted in the present case. On July 3, 2020, MFS submitted a statement of claim claiming against Projinko, Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland for recovery of two drawdowns by Projinko under the bank guarantee in an aggregated amount of EUR2,812,000, with the interests thereon as well as economic damages suffered by MFS as a result thereof. On September 3, 2020, Projinko, Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland submitted their statements of defense requesting the tribunal dismiss all claims made by MFS against Projinko, Jiangxi Jinko and Jinko Switzerland; Projinko also submitted its counterclaim against MFS requesting the tribunal order MFS to pay Projinko EUR1,008,170.00 plus accrued interest as a recovery of drawdown by MFS under the bank guarantee granted in favor of MFS. On January 12, 2020, pursuant to the parties’ joint request, the tribunal declared the proceedings suspended until further notice to allow for settlement discussions. In March 2021, the parties fully executed settlement agreement for the dispute. According to settlement agreement, the parties automatically and reciprocally release each other from the dispute on the condition that Jinko Switzerland delivers to MFS a payment in the amount of EUR 750,000. In April, Jinko Switzerland made the payment and MFS has confirmed receipt of the same. The parties have provided a letter to the tribunal to withdraw all claims and request the termination of the arbitration proceedings. As of the date of this annual report, tribunal is processing the request and will finally grant termination of the arbitration proceedings after completion of certain standard formalities. Considering as a subsequent recognized event which provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, the Group recorded related liability on its consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020.

On March 3, 2020, Plaintiff B filed its reply to the Statement of Defense with the court. On April 20, 2020, JinkoSolar GmbH filed its rejoinder with the court commenting on Plaintiff B’s reply on March 3, 2020. On May 5, 2020, the oral hearing regarding the validity of the EP2 220 689, Plaintiff B’s entitlement to sue, and the infringement was held before the Düsseldorf Regional Court. On June 16, 2020, the Düsseldorf Regional Court sided with Plaintiff B and ordered that the third party cell technology contained in certain modules delivered by JinkoSolar GmbH infringes Plaintiff B’s patent (the “Judgment”). JinkoSolar GmbH filed its notice of appeal on July 15, 2020. On September 28, 2020, Plaintiff B has submitted the request for penalty to Düsseldorf Regional Court, claiming that JinkoSolar GmbH violated the Judgment by continuing to promote infringing products and requesting imposition of fines for such violation. On October 16, 2020, JinkoSolar GmbH submitted grounds of appeal to the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court. JinkoSolar GmbH submitted its response to Plaintiff B’s request for penalty on November 30, 2020. On March 1, 2021, JinkoSolar GmbH submitted appeal joinder to the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court. (iii) Patent infringement lawsuits in Australia: On March 12, 2019, Hanwha Solutions Corporation (registration no. 110111-0360935) (The plaintiff has been changed from Hanwha Q CELLS & Advanced Materials Corporation to Hanwha Solutions Corporation during the course of the proceedings because of restructuring undertaken by its affiliate(s) in relation to ownership of the patent in suit) and Hanwha Q CELLS Australia Pty Ltd (“Plaintiffs C”, together with Plaintiffs A and Plaintiff B, “Hanwha Q CELLS Plaintiffs”) filed suit at Federal Court of Australia (“FCA”) against Jinko Solar Australia Holdings Co. Pty Ltd (“Jinko AUS”). It was alleged that certain photovoltaic solar cells and modules containing these solar cells supplied by Jinko AUS infringed Australian Patent No. 2008323025 purportedly owned by Plaintiffs C. The FCA served Jinko AUS as the Respondent and the first case management hearing was held on April 12, 2019. The FCA heard the application, and made orders for the conduct of the proceeding at the first case management hearing, following which Jinko AUS submitted its defense and cross-claim to Plaintiffs C’s statement of claim on July 22, 2019. Shortly before the second case management hearing which was held on October 2, 2019, Plaintiffs C requested an amendment to Australian Patent No. 2008323025 (“Amendment Application”), following which FCA directed Plaintiffs C to give discovery and produce documents in respect to the Amendment Application. The third case management hearing was held on December 13, 2019, after which Jinko AUS submitted particulars of opposition to the Amendment Application and requested for further and better discovery in respect to the Amendment Application. The FCA granted Plaintiffs C’s Amendment Application on August 28, 2020. Another case management hearing was held on November 16, 2020 and FCA directed that until March 12, 2021 Jinko AUS to file a precise statement identifying the reasons why certain photovoltaic solar cells and modules supplied by Jinko AUS do not infringe Australian Patent No. 2008323025. Jinko AUS filed its non-infringement statement dated March 9, 2021 with FCA. A more extensive case management hearing was originally scheduled on March 23, 2021 and now on a short extension with the specific date unresolved as of the date this report. The next case management hearing will set the matter down for a final hearing in the year of 2022 on dates to be advised. The Company believes that Hanwha Q CELLS Plaintiffs’ claims in all the above-mentioned cases are lacking legal merit, and will vigorously defend against the claims made by them. The Group is considering all legal avenues including challenging the validity of U.S. Patent No. 9,893,215 (“the ‘215 Patent”), EP 2 220 689 and Australian Patent No. 2008323025 (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”), and demonstrating our non-infringement of the Asserted Patents. On June 3, 2019, we filed a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) of the ‘215 Patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Appeal Board (“PTAB”). IPR is a trial proceeding conducted at the PTAB to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent. On December 10, 2019, the PTAB instituted the IPR proceedings of the patentability of claims 12-14 of the ‘215 patent claims in view of prior art. On September 9, 2020, we attended the oral hearing of IPR of the ‘215 patent. On December 9, 2020, the PTAB issued the final decision on our petition for IPR, finding that all challenged claims 12-14 of the ‘215 patent are unpatentable. On February 8, 2021, the patent owner of ‘215 Patent, Hanwha Solutions Corporation, appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit against such final decision issued by the PTAB (“215 IPR Appeal”). On February 24, 2021, we have filed the certificate of interest to participate in 215 IPR Appeal. Information available prior to issuance of the financial statements did not indicate that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and we are also unable to reasonably estimate the range of any liability or reasonably possible loss, if any. (c) Guarantees Upon the disposition of JinkoPower, the Company provided the loan guarantee and redemption guarantee to JinkoPower (Note 28). The Company provided a debt payment guarantee in connection with a loan facility granted to Sweihan PV Power Company P.J.S.C (“Sweihan”), equity investee of the Company for developing overseas solar power project, in a maximum aggregate principal amount not exceeding USD42.9 million. At the same time, pursuant to the shareholders agreement, the Company together with another shareholder of Sweihan, shall enable Sweihan to repay the loan facility in full. The loan was repaid by Sweihan in 2019. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 31. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS A hierarchy is established for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. As such, fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted price in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, or quoted prices in less active markets; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs with respect to which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. Fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted short-term investment are categorized as level 1 under the fair value hierarchy, as they based on quoted prices in active markets. Short-term borrowings and long-term borrowing are categorized as level 2 under the fair value hierarchy, as they based on quoted prices in less active markets. Fair value change in forward contracts and foreign exchange options The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with local banks to reduce the exposure of significant changes in exchange rates between Renminbi and foreign currencies. Authoritative guidance requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments. The Company’s forward contracts have not met the criteria for hedge accounting within authoritative guidance. Therefore, the foreign exchange forward contracts have been recorded at fair value, with the gain or loss on these transactions recorded in the consolidated statements of operations within "Change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts" in the period in which they occur. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company held foreign exchange forward contracts with a total notional value of USD848 million and USD800 million, nil and EUR100 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. These foreign exchange forward contracts mature within 12 months. The Company used a discounted cash-flow methodology to measure fair value, which requires inputs such as interest yield curves and foreign exchange rates. The significant inputs used in the aforementioned model can be corroborated with market observable data and therefore the fair value measurements are classified as level 2. Typically, any losses or gains on the forward exchange contracts are offset by re-measurement losses or gains on the underlying balances denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company’s foreign currency exchange contract is an over-the-counter instrument. The Company recorded gain from change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts of RMB191.2 million during the year of 2020, compared to losses of RMB78.3 million in the year of 2019. The change was primarily due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollars against the RMB during the year of 2020. The Group classified the cash flows related to realized gain or loss on settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts as operating activities, which are based on the nature of the cash flows the derivative is economically hedging. The Company purchased foreign exchange option contracts with a total notional value of USD167.0 million and nil during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. And the company sold foreign exchange option contracts with a total notional value of USD170.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.These foreign exchange options mature within 12 months . The Company adopted the Black-Scholes Option Pricing (“B-S”) Model to value the foreign exchange options. The significant inputs used in the aforementioned model are unobservable inputs which there are little or no market data and therefore the fair value measurements are classified as level 3. The foreign exchange option are derivatives which need to be fair valued on day one and marked to market subsequently at each reporting period end. The fair value gain or loss arising from the re-measurement is recognised in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The fair value change was a loss of RMB9,720,182, RMB330,706 and RMB3,607,817 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Convertible Senior Notes and Call Option The Company has adopted valuation models to assess the fair value for Call option and the Notes, as the Call option is not publicly traded and the trading of the Notes is considered inactive. Management is responsible for determining these fair values and assessing a number of factors. The Notes is valued using the Binominal Tree option pricing model. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgments as well as the Company's best estimates on the valuation date. Inputs related to the Binomial models for convertible debt fair value are: spot price, conversion price, expected dividend yield, expected share volatility, risk free interest rate, and yield-to-maturity, of which spot price and expected share volatility are most significant to valuation determination of convertible debt. The Call option is valued using the Black-Scholes Model. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgments as well as the Company's best estimates on the valuation date. Inputs related to the Black-Scholes Models for call option fair value are: call option price, spot price, exercise price, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and time to maturity, of which spot price and exercise price are most significant to valuation determination of call option. The Company recorded losses from change in fair value of convertible senior notes and call option of RMB725.8 million during the year of 2020, compared to losses of RMB29.3 million in the year of 2019. The change was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s stock price in 2020. Interest Rate Swap The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily relates to its bank borrowings. To finance its overseas power station business operation and expansion, the Company’s operating subsidiaries located in Mexico will obtain long-term bank borrowings from local bank, which carries variable interest rates. With an aim to reduce its interest rate exposure, the Company entered into one long-term interest rate swap contract in 2016 to fix the interest rate as a fixed rate payer. The interest rate swap is a derivative which needs to be fair valued at each reporting period end. The fair value gain or loss arising from the remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the fair value of the interest rate swap was RMB61,271,965 and nil, respectively, which was recorded as a derivative liability in the line item of held-for-sale liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The fair value change was a gain of RMB9,701,051, a loss of RMB69,974,512 and a loss of RMB78,878,089 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Guarantee liability A guarantee liability is initially recognized at the estimated fair value in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets unless it becomes probable that the Group will reimburse the holder of the guarantee for an amount higher than the carrying amount, in which case the guarantee is carried in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets at the expected amount payable to the holder. The fair value of the guarantee liability is measured by the total consideration to be received in connection with the provision of guarantee. The guarantee liability would be amortized in straight line during the guarantee period. Recurring change in fair value As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, information about the hierarchy of the fair value measurements for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quote prices in Balance as of active market Significant other Significant

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS | 32. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. In addition, the statutory general reserve fund requires annual appropriations of 10% of net after-tax income to be set aside prior to payment of any dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries that are registered as wholly owned foreign investment enterprises or domestic enterprises. As a result of these and other restrictions under PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances. Even though the Company does not currently require any such dividends, loans or advances from the Company’s PRC subsidiaries for working capital or other funding purposes, it may in the future require additional cash resources from the PRC subsidiaries due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely declare dividends or make distributions to the Company’s shareholders. Restricted net assets were RMB11,908,223,974 representing 92% of the Company’s total consolidated net assets as of December 31, 2020. |

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of presentation and use of estimates | a. Basis of presentation and use of estimates The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include expected credit loss provision, provision for inventories and advances to suppliers, impairment of long-lived assets, the economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment, project assets and intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities including accruals for warranty costs, guarantees, sale-leaseback, accounting for share-based compensation, fair value measurements of share-based compensation and financial instruments, legal contingencies, income taxes and related deferred tax valuation allowance. |
Consolidation | b. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. For the Group’s majority-owned subsidiaries, non-controlling interests is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity interests which are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. Consolidated net income on the consolidated statement of operation includes the net income attributable to non-controlling interests. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are recorded as non-controlling interests in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Foreign currency translation | c. Foreign currency translation The Group’s reporting currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”), the official currency in the PRC. The Company and its PRC subsidiaries use RMB as their functional currency, while local currencies have been determined to be the functional currency of its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC such as USD or EUR etc. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity using the applicable exchange rates at the applicable balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains or losses are included in exchange loss in the consolidated statements of operations. For consolidation purpose, the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the RMB are translated into RMB using exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses and gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/ (loss). The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The PRC State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of PBOC, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in China’s foreign exchange trading system market. The Company’s aggregate amount of cash, cash equivalents, restricted short-term investments and restricted cash denominated in RMB amounted to RMB10,387.2 million and RMB11,149.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | d. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents deposits legally held by banks which are not available for the Group’s general use. These deposits are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit or guarantee, bank acceptance notes to vendors for purchase of machinery and inventories and foreign exchange forward contracts. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows are presented separately on our consolidated balance sheet as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 RMB RMB Cash and cash equivalents 5,653,853,691 7,481,678,114 Restricted cash 576,546,098 593,093,671 Cash and cash equivalents included in held-for-sale assets 43,558,640 — Total 6,273,958,429 8,074,771,785 |
Restricted short-term investments | e. Restricted short-term investments Restricted short-term investments represent the time deposits at banks with original maturities longer than three months and less than one year, which are held as collateral for issuance of letters of credit, guarantee, bank acceptance notes or deposits for short-term borrowings. |
Notes receivable and payable | f. Notes receivable and payable Notes receivable represents bank or commercial drafts that have been arranged with third-party financial institutions by certain customers to settle their purchases from the Group. The carrying amount of notes receivable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the notes receivables. The Group also issues bank acceptance notes to its suppliers in China in the normal course of business. The Group classifies the changes in notes payable as financing activities. Notes receivable and payable are typically non-interest bearing and have maturities of less than six months. |
Current expected credit losses | g. Current expected credit losses In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”), which amends previously issued guidance regarding the impairment of financial instruments by creating an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted this ASC Topic 326 and several associated ASUs on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recorded as increase of accumulated retained earnings with amount of RMB6.6 million, among which RMB30.9 million was related to the decrease of allowance for accounts receivables-third parties, RMB15.0 million was related to the increase of allowance for accounts receivables- related parties and RMB9.3 million was related to the increase of allowance for other receivables and other current/non-current assets. As of January 1, 2020, upon the adoption, the expected credit loss provision for the current and non-current assets were RMB306,525,000 and RMB5,065,000, respectively. The Company’s trade receivable, notes receivable, guarantee receivables, deposits and other receivables are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables, notes receivable, guarantee receivables, deposits and other receivables which include size, type of the services or the products the Company provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Company considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Company’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Company’s specific facts and circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded RMB14,086,414 expected credit loss expense in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2020, the expected credit loss provision for the current and non-current assets were RMB323,688,768 and RMB1,987,646, respectively. |
Accounts receivable | h. Accounts receivable Specific provisions are made against accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Group’s customers to make payments. The Group periodically assesses accounts receivable balances to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts should be made based upon historical bad debts, specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Accounts receivable in the balance sheets are stated net of such provision, if any. Before approving sales to each customer, the Group conducts a credit assessment for each customer to evaluate the collectability of such sales. The assessment usually takes into consideration the credit worthiness of such customer and its guarantor, if any, the Group’s historical payment experience with such customer, industry-wide trends with respect to credit terms, including the terms offered by competitors, and the macro-economic conditions of the region to which sales will be made. The Group executes a sales order with a customer and arrange for shipment only if its credit assessment concludes that the collectability with such customer is probable. The Group may also from time to time require security deposits from certain customers to minimize its credit risk. After the sales are made, the Group closely monitors the credit situation of each customer on an on-going basis for any subsequent change in its financial position, business development and credit rating, and evaluates whether any of such adverse change warrants further action to be taken by the Group, including asserting claims and/or initiating legal proceedings against the customer and/or its guarantor, as well as making provisions. It is also the Group’s general practice to suspend further sales to any customer with significant overdue balances. The Group adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020 and has also made updates to its policies and internal controls over financial reporting as a result of adoption. Details please refer to Note 2 (g) above. Prior to 2020, credit loss allowance of accounts receivable was determined to be the amount of probable incurred credit losses based on historical default experiences as well as other factors associated with the credit risk of the Group’s customers. |
Advances to suppliers | i. Advances to suppliers The Group provides short-term and long-term advances to secure its raw material needs, which are then offset against future purchases. The Group continually assesses the credit quality of its suppliers and the factors that affect the credit risk. If there is deterioration in the creditworthiness of its suppliers, the Group will seek to recover its advances to suppliers and provide for losses on advances which are akin to receivables in operating expenses because of suppliers’ inability to return its advances. Recoveries of the allowance for advances to supplier are recognized when they are received. The Company classified short-term and long-term advances to suppliers based on management’s best estimate of the expected purchase in the next twelve-months as of the balance sheet date and the Group’s ability to make requisite purchases under existing supply contracts. The balances expected to be utilized outside of the 12 months are recorded in advances to suppliers to be utilized beyond one year. No provision of advance to suppliers was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. |
Inventories | j. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Provisions are made for excessive, slow moving and obsolete inventories as well as for inventories with carrying values in excess of market. Certain factors could impact the realizable value of inventory, so the Group continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. The evaluation may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sale of existing products, product obsolescence, customer concentrations, and other factors. The reserve or write-down is equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required that could negatively impact the Group’s gross margin and operating results. If actual market conditions are more favorable, the Group may have higher gross margin when products that have been previously reserved or written down are eventually sold. The sale of previously reserved inventory did not have a material impact on our gross margin percentage for any of the years presented. In addition, the Group analyzes its firm purchase commitments, if any, at each period end. Provision is made in the current period if the net realizable value after considering estimated costs to convert polysilicon into saleable finished goods is higher than market selling price of finished goods as of the end of a reporting period. There was no provision recorded related to these long-term contracts for each of the three years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. |
Property, plant and equipment, net | k. Property, plant and equipment, net Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the prices paid to acquire or construct the assets, interest capitalized during the construction period and any expenditure that substantially extends the useful life of an existing asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 years Machinery and equipment 5 Furniture, fixture and office equipment 3~5 years Motor vehicles 4~5 years Construction in progress primarily represents the construction of new production line and buildings. Costs incurred in the construction are capitalized and transferred to property, plant and equipment upon completion, at which time depreciation commences. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, if any, is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the disposed assets, and is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations upon disposal. |
Project Assets, net | l. Project Assets, net Project assets represented the costs of solar power plants held for generation of electricity revenue, held with the intention to sell to third parties and solar power plants under construction. Project assets are stated in the consolidated balance sheets at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment provision, if any. Costs of project assets consist primarily of costs relating to construction of solar power plants at various stages of development. These costs include costs for procurement of solar module and other equipment (including intercompany purchases), cost of land on which solar power plants are developed and other direct costs for developing and constructing solar power plants, such as costs for obtaining permits required for solar power plants and costs for designing, engineering, interest costs capitalized and installation in the course of construction. Such costs are capitalized starting from the point when it is determined that development of the solar power plant is probable. For a solar power project asset acquired from third parties, the initial cost is the acquisition cost which includes the consideration transferred and certain direct acquisition costs. Costs capitalized in the construction of solar power plants under development will be transferred to completed solar power plants upon completion and when they are ready for intended use, which is at the point of time when the solar power plant is connected to grids and begins to generate electricity. Depreciation of the completed solar power plant held for generation of electricity revenue commences once the solar power plant is ready for intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the expected life of 20 years. The Company does not depreciate project assets when such project assets are constructed for sale upon completion. Any revenue generated from such project assets connected to the grid would be considered incidental revenue and accounted for as a reduction of the capitalized project costs for development. The Group made decision to sell certain of its solar projects to third parties in the year of 2018. All cash flows related to the development and construction of project assets constructed for external sales are a component of cash flows from operating activities. |
Assets held for sale | m . Assets held for sale Long-lived assets to be sold are classified as held for sale when the following recognition criteria in ASC 360-10-45-9 are met: ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ The Group entered into an agreement to sell two solar power plants in Mexico to a Mexican renewable energy company in November 2019. Assets and liabilities related to these two solar power plants were reclassified from project assets as assets/liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2019. |
Interest Capitalization | n . Interest Capitalization Interest expenses during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB429,347,129, RMB605,882,474 and RMB705,158,872, net of with interest income of RMB83,461,323, RMB170,984,099 and RMB216,618,294 respectively. The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the property, plant and equipment or project assets. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially completed or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. When no debt is specifically identified as being incurred in connection with a construction project, the Group capitalizes interest on amounts expended on the project at the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings. Interest expense capitalized associated with the construction projects for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB51,243,764, RMB43,841,311 and RMB29,306,768, respectively. |
Land use rights and land lease | o . Land use rights and land lease (a) Land use rights Land use rights represent acquisition costs to purchase land use rights from the PRC government, which are evidenced by property certificates. The periods of these purchased land use rights are either 50 years or 70 years. The Company classifies land use rights as long term assets on the balance sheet and cash outflows related to acquisition of land use right as investing activities. Land use rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the term specified in the land use right certificate for 50 years or 70 years, as applicable. (b) Land lease For certain of the Group’s solar power project, the Group enters into land lease contracts with the owners of the land use rights. Under such lease arrangements, the owners retain the property right of the land use rights. While the Group can only set up the solar panels on these leased lands but does not have the right to sell, lease or dispose the land use rights. Accordingly, land leases are classified as operating leases. |
Intangible assets | p . Intangible assets Intangible assets include purchased software and fees paid to register trademarks and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are 5 or 10 years, respectively. |
Business combination and assets acquisition | q. Business combination and assets acquisition U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the purchase method. The Group has adopted ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” and the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net tangible and intangible assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the future cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although management believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material. A non-controlling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of a subsidiary’s equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Consolidated net income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income includes the net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests when applicable. The cumulative results of operations attributable to non-controlling interests are also recorded as non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when applicable. |
Investments in affiliates and other equity securities | r . Investments in affiliates and other equity securities On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. This standard also changed the accounting for investments without a readily determinable fair value and that do not qualify for the practical expedient to be measured at fair value. A policy election can be made for these investments whereby investment will be carried at cost and adjusted in subsequent periods for any impairment or changes in observable prices of identical or similar investments. With the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, for investments in equity securities lacking of readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to use the measurement alternative defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes. Adoption of the standard had no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2019 and 2020. The Group’s investments include equity method investments and equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The Group holds equity investments in affiliates in which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. These investments are accounted for under equity method of accounting wherein the Group records its’ proportionate share of the investees’ income or loss in its consolidated financial statements. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured and recorded using a measurement alternative that measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. Prior to the fiscal year of 2018, these investments over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence were accounted for using the cost method of accounting, measured at cost less other-than-temporary impairment. Investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. The Group reviews several factors to determine whether an impairment is recognized. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (1) nature of the investment; (2) cause and duration of the impairment; (3) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (4) financial conditions and near term prospects of the issuers; and (5) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | s . Impairment of long-lived assets The Group’s long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, project assets, land use rights and intangible assets with finite lives. The Group’s business requires heavy investment in manufacturing equipment that is technologically advanced, but can quickly become significantly under-utilized or rendered obsolete by rapid changes in demand for solar power products produced with those equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered important that could result in an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets and significant negative industry or economic trends. The Group may recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss, if any, is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value. Fair value is generally measured based on either quoted market prices, if available, or discounted cash flow analysis. |
Leases | t . Leases The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method as of the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior periods have not been recast and the disclosures required under ASC Topic 842 are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception of the arrangement based on whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset and whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration, which relates to an asset which the Company does not own. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option, if any. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which it calculates based on the credit quality of the Company and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings, and adjusting this amount based on the impact of collateral over the term of each lease. The Company does not typically incur variable lease payments related to its leases. For a sale-leaseback transaction, sale-leaseback accounting shall be used by a seller-lessee only if the transaction meet all of the following: a) the transfer of the underlying asset meets the definition of a sale under ASC 606; b) the leaseback transaction does not result in a lease that would be classified as a finance lease; c) the contract does not contain a repurchase option, unless the option is exercisable at the fair value on the exercise date and there are alternative assets substantially the same as the transferred asset available in the market place. If a sale-leaseback transaction does not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting because of the transfer of underlying assets does not meet the definition of sale, it is accounted for as a financing under ASC 360. The Company has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) elect for each lease not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component; (ii) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 recognition requirements; and (iii) the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2019 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and(c) initial direct costs. |
Guarantees | u . Guarantees The Group issues debt payment guarantees in favor of JinkoPower, a related party. The guarantees require the Group to make payments to reimburse the holders of the debt subject to these guarantees for losses they incur JinkoPower fails to make repayments to the holders, when its liability to the holders falls due. A guarantee liability is initially recognized at the estimated fair value in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets unless it becomes probable that the Group will reimburse the holder of the guarantee for an amount higher than the carrying amount, in which case the guarantee is carried in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets at the expected amount payable to the holder. The fair value of the guarantee liability is measured by the total consideration to be received in connection with the provision of guarantee. The guarantee liability is amortized in straight line during the guarantee period. Receivables have also been recorded for the guarantee payments to be received (Note 28). Pursuant to the master service agreement signed with JinkoPower, guarantee service fee is settled on a half-year basis. |
Revenue recognition | v . Revenue recognition On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted new revenue guidance ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), by applying the modified retrospective method under which the Company has elected to adopt the standard applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting practices under ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. The Company has determined that the impact of the transition to ASC Topic 606 is immaterial to the Company’s revenue recognition model since the vast majority of the Company’s revenue recognition is based on point in time transfer of control. Accordingly, the Company has not made any adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The Company negotiated payment terms on a case by case basis and allows most of its overseas’ customers to make full payment within 90 days and our domestic customers to make 90% to 95% of payment within 180 days after delivery and the rest will be paid when the Retainage Period (as defined below) ends. As a result of adopting ASC Topic 606, for the sales contracts with retainage terms, under which customers were allowed to withhold payment of 5% to 10% of the full contract price as retainage for a specified period from one year to two year since normal operation of related customer’s solar project (“Retainage Period”), revenue from retainage is recognized upon the Group satisfied its performance obligation to transfer the goods to its customers instead of deferring recognition until the customers pay it after the Retainage Period expires. Revenue recognition for the Group’s other sales arrangements, including sales of solar modules, wafers, cells and revenue from generated electricity, remained materially consistent with historical practice. For the contracts with retainage terms signed and executed before the adoption date of January 1, 2018, as 90%~95% of the revenue was recognized before the date of initial application, which is considered to be substantial, management concluded that these contracts have been completed before the adoption date, and as the company has elected to apply the modified retrospective adoption method only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018, no cumulative effect related to these retainages is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The revenue recognized upon collection of these retainage amounts is recognized under ASC 605, the prior revenue recognition standard, with the amount of RMB26,604,993 , RMB7,660,940 and RMB 28,824,540 in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The total amounts of retainage that were not recognized as revenue were RMB63,243,490, RMB55,582,550 and RMB26,758,010 as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. All of the retainages are within the Retainage Period of the sales contracts ranged from one year to two years . The Group was mainly subject to value added taxes ("VAT") on its sales from products. The Group recognizes revenue net of VAT. Related surcharges, such as urban maintenance and construction tax as well as surtax for education expenses are recorded in cost of revenues. The Company’s accounting practices under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” are as followings: (a) Revenue recognition on product sales For all product sales, the Group requires a contract or purchase order which quantifies pricing, quantity and product specifications. The Company’s sales arrangements generally do not contain variable considerations and are short-term in nature. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time based on management’s evaluation of when the customer obtains control of the products. Revenue is recognized as performance obligation under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied and control of the product has been transferred to the customer. Sales of goods do not include multiple product and/or service elements. Practical expedients and exemption Upon the election of the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4, the incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, no incremental cost was capitalized as assets. The Group also selected to apply the practical expedients allowed under ASC Topic 606 to omit the disclosure of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and for contracts where the Company has the right to invoice for performance completed to date. Based on the considerations that there is no difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price of product sales, in addition the actual length of time between when the Group transfers products to the customer and when the customer pays for those products has been generally within one year, the Group assessed and concluded that there is no significant financing component in place within its products sales as a practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-18. As the retainage term is made to secure the future effective operation of solar modules and not to provide customer with significant financing, no significant financing component is considered to exist in the sales contract with retainage terms. (b) Sales of solar projects The Company’s sales arrangements for solar projects do not contain any forms of continuing involvement that may affect the revenue or profit recognition of the transactions, nor any variable considerations for energy performance guarantees, minimum electricity end subscription commitments. The Company therefore determined its single performance obligation to the customer is the sale of a completed solar project. The Group recognizes revenue for sales of solar projects at a point in time after the solar project has been grid connected and the customer obtains control of the solar project. (c) Revenue on electricity generation The Group recognizes electricity generation revenue on project assets constructed with a plan to operate the plant when persuasive evidence of a power purchase arrangement with the power grid company exists, electricity has been generated and been transmitted to the grid and the electricity generation records are reconciled with the grid companies, the price of electricity is fixed or determinable and the collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. VAT on invoice amount is collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of the sales of product and is not recorded as revenue. VAT collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability until it is paid to the tax authorities. |
Segment report | w. Segment report The Group uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group’s reportable segments. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280 "Segment Reporting", the Group's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chairman of the Board of Directors as well as the CEO, who only review consolidated results of the Group when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Hence, the Group has only one operating segment which is vertically integrated solar power products manufacturing business from silicon ingots, wafers, cells to solar modules. |
Cost of revenue | x . Cost of revenue Cost of revenue for sales of photovoltaic products includes production and indirect costs, as well as shipping and handling costs for raw materials purchase and provision for inventories. Costs of electricity generation revenue include depreciation of solar power project assets and costs associated with operation and maintenance of the project assets. Cost of electricity sales was nil, RMB19.4 million and RMB40.4 million for years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
Warranty cost | y. Warranty cost Solar modules produced by the Group are typically sold with either a 5-year or 10-year warranty for product defects, and a 10-year and 25-year warranty against declines of more than 10% and 20%, respectively, from the initial minimum power generation capacity at the time of delivery. Therefore, the Group is exposed to potential liabilities that could arise from these warranties. The potential liability is generally in the form of product replacement or repair. Management applied significant judgements in estimating the expected failure rate of the Company's solar module products and the estimated replacement costs associated with fulfilling its warranty obligations when measuring the warranty costs. Based on the actual claims incurred during the past years which appears to be consistent with the market practice, the Group projected the expected failure rate as 1% for the whole warranty period, which is consistent with prior assumptions. Based on the Group’s actual claims experience in the historical periods as well as management’s current best estimation, the Group believes that the average selling price of solar modules over the past two years more accurately reflects the estimated warranty cost liability in connection with the products sold by the Group, as opposed to the current and past spot prices. According to the updated product replacement cost included in the warranty liability estimation which continued to drop in recent years, the Group reversed previous years’ recorded warranty liability of RMB162,447,593, RMB123,853,626 and RMB123,942,984, with a corresponding decrease to selling and marketing expenses,in 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. The warranty costs were classified as current liabilities under other payables and accruals, and non-current liabilities under accrued warranty costs – non-current, respectively, which reflect the Group’s estimation of the timing of when the warranty expenditures will likely be made. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, warranty costs accrued for the modules delivered in the periods before the reversals due to updated project replacement cost were RMB278,417,311, RMB303,652,391 and RMB363,159,029, respectively. The utilization of the warranty accruals for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were RMB102,600,327, RMB85,035,667 and RMB98,525,648, respectively. Utilization of warranty accruals in 2018 was mainly due to a specific batch of solar modules shipped in 2017 with welding defects, while the utilization of warranty accruals in 2019 was mainly caused by the extreme climatic conditions in Xinjiang, China and India. Utilization of warranty accruals in 2020 was mainly due to sporadic customer claims with accumulation of the Group’s solar module shipment. Considering the defective modules only comprised a small portion of the Group’s module shipments, it is less likely to have a significant impact on the Group’s estimation on the expected failure rate of module production. Movement of accrued warranty cost For the year ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 RMB RMB RMB At beginning of year 643,307,854 656,677,245 751,440,343 Additions 278,417,311 303,652,391 363,159,029 Utilization (102,600,327) (85,035,667) (98,525,648) Reversal to selling and marketing expense (162,447,593) (123,853,626) (123,942,984) At end of year 656,677,245 751,440,343 892,130,740 The Group purchases warranty insurance policy which provides coverage for the product warranty services of solar modules worldwide. Prepayment for warranty insurance premium is initially recorded as other assets and is amortized over the insurance coverage period. Prepayment for warranty insurance premium is not recorded as reduction of estimated warranty liabilities . In previous years, the Company incurred additional warranty costs due to the defects in a specific batch of raw materials provided by a supplier. The Company appealed against the supplier for the defects and obtained the final judgement from the court in September 2020, pursuant to which the Company shall be compensated by the supplier with the amount of RMB83,054,792 by offsetting the Company’s payables due to such supplier. Given that, the Company reversed warranty expenses in the third quarter of 2020 with a corresponding reduction in accounts payables. |
Shipping and handling | z. Shipping and handling Costs to ship products to customers are included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs to ship products to customers were RMB1,005,186,974, RMB1,489,639,843 and RMB1,631,219,134 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
Research and development | a a . Research and development Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. |
Start-up costs | ab. Start-up costs The Group expenses all costs incurred in connection with start-up activities, including pre-production costs associated with new manufacturing facilities (excluding costs that are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment) and costs incurred with the formation of new subsidiaries such as organization costs. |
Income Taxes | ac. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the change in tax rates or tax laws is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The accounting for uncertain tax positions requires that the Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Group's policy is to recognize, if any, tax related interest as interest expenses and penalties as general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 , there were no uncertain tax positions. |
Commitments and Contingencies | ad. Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. |
Fair value of financial instruments | ae. Fair value of financial instruments The Group does not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (also referred to as an exit price). A hierarchy is established for inputs used in measuring fair value that gives the highest priority to observable inputs and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs. When available, the Group measures the fair value of financial instruments based on quoted market prices in active markets, valuation techniques that use observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Pricing information the Group obtains from third parties is internally validated for reasonableness prior to use in the consolidated financial statements. When observable market prices are not readily available, the Group generally estimates the fair value using valuation techniques that rely on alternate market data or inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources and are estimated based on pertinent information available at the time of the applicable reporting periods. In certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may fluctuate as economic and market factors vary and the Group’s evaluation of those factors changes. Although the Group uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. In these cases, a minor change in an assumption could result in a significant change in its estimate of fair value, thereby increasing or decreasing the amounts of the Group’s consolidated assets, liabilities, equity and net income. The Group’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted short-term and long-term investments, accounts and notes receivable, foreign exchange forward contract receivables other receivables, prepayments and other current assets, call option, foreign exchange option, accounts and notes payable, other payables and accruals, foreign exchange forward contract payables, guarantee liabilities, lease liabilities, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, convertible senior notes and interest rate swap. The foreign exchange forward contracts receivable and payable, call option, foreign exchange options, interest rate swap and convertible senior notes are measured at fair value (Note 31). Except for these financial instruments and long-term borrowing, the carrying values of the Group’s other financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of long-term borrowing approximates their fair value due to the fact that the related interest rates approximate rates currently offered by financial institutions for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. When the fair value option is elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to changes in instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. As the Company elected to measure its convertible senior notes issued in 2019 in their entirety at fair value, the portion of the total change in the fair value of the convertible senior notes that results from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk is presented separately in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk were benchmarked by the portion of the total change in fair value that excluding the amount resulting from a change in a risk-free rate. |
Government grants | af. Government grants Government grants related to technology upgrades and enterprise development are recognized as subsidy income when received. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Group received financial subsidies of RMB52,176,462 , RMB63,016,966 and RMB191,980,690 from the local PRC government authorities, respectively. These subsidies were non-recurring, not refundable and with no conditions related to specific use or disposition of the funds, attached. There are no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to enjoy such benefits and the amount of financial subsidy is determined at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. Government grants related to assets are initially recorded as other payables and accruals which are then deducted from the carrying amount when the assets are ready for use and approved by related government. The Company received government grant related to assets of RMB8,102,911, RMB24,889,754 and RMB20,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
Repurchase of share | ag. Repurchase of share When the Company’s shares are purchased for retirement, the excess of the purchase price over its par value is recorded entirely to additional paid-in capital subject to the limitation of the additional paid in capital when the shares were originally issued. When the Company’s shares are acquired for purposes other than retirement, the purchase price is shown separately as treasury stock. |
Statutory reserves | ah. Statutory reserves Zhejiang Jinko, as sino-foreign owned joint venture incorporated in the PRC, is required to make appropriations of net profits, after recovery of accumulated deficit, to (i) a general reserve fund, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund, and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund prior to distribution of dividends to investors. These reserve funds are set at certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations (the "PRC GAAP"). The percentage of net profit for appropriation to these funds is at the discretion of their board of directors. Jiangxi Jinko, as wholly foreign owned enterprises incorporated in the PRC, is required on an annual basis to make appropriations of net profits, after the recovery of accumulated deficit, to a general reserve fund and a staff bonus and welfare fund. These reserve funds are set at certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP. The percentage of the appropriation for general reserve fund is at least 10%, and the percentage of the appropriation for staff bonus and welfare fund is at the discretion of its boards of directors. Except for the aforementioned subsidiaries, the Company’s other subsidiaries, as domestic enterprises incorporated in the PRC, are required on an annual basis to make an appropriation of net profits, after the recovery of accumulated deficit, to a statutory reserve fund. The statutory reserve fund is set at the percentage of not lower than 10% of the after-tax profit determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP. Once the level of the general reserve fund and the statutory reserve fund reach 50% of the registered capital of the underlying entities, further appropriations to these funds are discretionary. The Group’s statutory reserves can only be used for specific purposes of enterprises expansion and staff bonus and welfare, and are not distributable to the shareholders except in the event of liquidation. Appropriations to these funds are accounted for as transfers from retained earnings to the statutory reserves. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Group made total appropriations to statutory reserves of RMB53,290,350, RMB119,530,534 and RMB2,301,771, respectively. |
Earnings/(Loss) per share | ai. Earnings/(Loss) per share Basic earnings(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Diluted earnings(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the change in income or loss as result from the assumed conversion of those participating securities, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Potential diluted securities consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible senior notes (using the if-converted method), the potential shares underlying call option arrangement and ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options (using the treasury stock method), which are not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share if the effect is anti-dilutive. Changes in income or loss of potential dilutive securities as result from the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes and assumed exercise of call option, if any, are recorded as the adjustment to the consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations to arrive at the diluted net income (loss) available to the Company’s ordinary shareholders. |
Share-based compensation | a j. Share-based compensation The Company’s share-based payment transactions with employees, including share options, are measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. The fair value of the award is recognized as compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is generally the vesting period. |
Other comprehensive income/(loss) | ak. Other comprehensive income/(loss) Other comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) for each period presented is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. |
Convenience translation | al. Convenience translation Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operation, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows from RMB into United States dollars ("USD" or "USD") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are solely for the convenience of readers and were calculated at the rate of RMB6.5250 to USD1.00, representing the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate on December 31, 2020, or at any other rate. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | am. Recent accounting pronouncements New Accounting Standards Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which eliminates the probable recognition threshold for credit impairments. The new guidance broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually to include forecasted information, as well as past events and current conditions. There is no specified method for measuring expected credit losses, and an entity is allowed to apply methods that reasonably reflect its expectations of the credit loss estimate. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the update of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” on January 1, 2020 (Note (2g)). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the guidance, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU provides an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which goodwill was originally recognized for accounting purposes and when it should be considered a separate transaction, and (3) requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments—Equity securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity method and joint ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments also clarify that for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141(a) an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-01. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. These optional expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04 are effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact. In August 2020, the FASB issued a new accounting update relating to convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. For convertible instruments, the accounting update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current U.S. GAAP. The accounting update amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The accounting update also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. For public business entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are allowed to apply this update on either a full or modified retrospective basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Update on its consolidated financial statements. |

[1] | (v) In the third quarter of 2018, the Group and JinkoPower jointly invested in and established an entity named Poyang Luohong Power Co., Ltd. (“Poyang Luohong”), which develops and operates solar power project in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. Cash capital injection with the amount of RMB98 million have been made by JinkoPower at the end of 2018. The Group held 51% equity interests of Poyang Luohong and consolidated such entity in its financial statements. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Group disposed of 51% equity interest in Poyang Luohong to a third party buyer with the consideration of RMB99.8 million (USD14.3 million). A gain of RMB19.9 million (USD2.9 million) was recognized. The disposal gain was mainly resulted from the recognition of the un-realized profit generated from the module sales transactions between the Group and Poyang Luohong before the disposal with the amount of RMB19.9 million. Consideration associated with the transaction was collected in full in 2019. |
