Jinneng Fund

Jinneng Fund is a wholly owned subsidiary of JinkoSolar Investment Co., Ltd., which forms part of the Jinko Group controlled by Li Xiande. JinkoSolar Co., Ltd., the publicly traded entity (NYSE: JKS, SSE: 688223), is a co-investor and operational sibling. The fund leverages Jinko's manufacturing base, technical expertise, and global distribution to source and support portfolio companies.

Li Xiande, as the ultimate controller of Jinko Group and founder of the fund, occupies the top investment decision-making role. The day-to-day legal and managerial responsibilities are held by Du Wei, who serves as Legal Representative, Director, and Manager. The specific composition of any investment committee is not publicly detailed.

While renewable energy and clean-tech are central, Jinneng Fund's mandate extends to enterprise software, artificial intelligence, industrial technology, and advanced manufacturing. The fund targets early-stage companies that can benefit from Jinko's operational scale, which includes digital tools for manufacturing, automation systems, and other verticals adjacent to the solar supply chain.

Jinneng Fund's primary sourcing advantage is JinkoSolar's global industrial and commercial network. With 12 manufacturing bases and over 20 overseas subsidiaries, the fund gains early visibility into startups developing inverters, battery storage, grid-integration software, and manufacturing-automation tools. Founders often approach Jinko for commercial partnerships, creating a top-of-funnel pipeline that purely financial VCs cannot replicate.

The fund concentrates on seed and early-stage venture rounds. This stage focus allows Jinneng Fund to deploy capital before JinkoSolar's supply-chain relationships and manufacturing scale become most valuable — positioning portfolio companies for accelerated commercialization once technical milestones are met. Later-stage investments or growth-equity rounds have not been publicly confirmed as part of the current mandate.
