JA Solar and Jinko are two of the most widely-installed panel brands on Perth roofs, and they turn up against each other constantly. Both are very large Chinese-made manufacturers running current-generation N-type TOPCon cells (JA Solar's DeepBlue, Jinko's Tiger Neo), and on the spec sheet the two ranges sit close together. Here is a fair, spec-led comparison for WA homes, with the practical points that actually separate them on a quote.
Quick answer
The spec gap between these two ranges is small enough that supply and price decide it. Pick JA Solar if your installer stocks and regularly fits JA Solar, or the DeepBlue quote is keener on the day. Pick Jinko if your installer stocks and regularly fits Jinko, or the Tiger Neo quote is keener on the day. Both ranges qualify for federal STCs in Perth (STC Zone 3); there's no separate WA panel rebate.
