Import Jinko Tiger Neo N-type 720W from China to Thailand — Utility-Mount TCO & Landed Cost

Reference verdict: for one Jinko Solar Tiger Neo N-type 720W bifacial double-glass monocrystalline PV module (JKM-N-720), imported FOB-China to Thailand and ground-mounted on a utility-scale project, the scenario TCO model returns an NPV of USD 448.01, an IRR of 20.21%, a discounted payback of 6.66 years, a simple payback of 5.04 years, and an LCOE of USD 0.0276 / kWh over a 25-year horizon at an 8.00% nominal discount rate. Equipment: Jinko Tiger Neo N-type 720W (JKM-N-720 family). Location: Kingdom of Thailand, import via Laem Chabang. Horizon: 25 years. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: figures are model-bound to the explicit bounded assumptions stated in §3 and §4; binding landed cost requires an OEM pro-forma invoice and a Thai Customs lookup at the time of shipment.
