2.2 Installation Condition
2.2.1 Climate condition
Please install the modules in the following conditions:
a) Operating temperature: within –40°C (-4°F) to 85°C (185°F)
b) Humidity: < 85RH%.
﹡Note: The mechanical load bearing (include wind and snow loads) of the module is
based on the mounting methods. The professional system installer must be
responsible for mechanical load calculation according to the system design.
2.2.2 Site selection
In most applications, Jinko Solar PV modules should be installed in a location where
they will receive maximum sunlight throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere,
the module should typically face south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the modules
should typically face north. Modules facing 30 degrees away from true South (or
North) will lose approximately 10 to 15 percent of their power output. If the module
faces 60 degrees away from true South (or North), the power loss will be 20 to 30
percent.
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions, which could cast
shadows on the solar photovoltaic modules especially during the winter months when
the arc of the sun is lowest over the horizon. Shading causes loss of output, even
though the factory fitted bypass diodes of the PV module will minimize any such loss.
Do not install the PV module near naked flame or flammable materials.
When solar modules are used to charge batteries, the battery must be installed in a
manner, which will protect the performance of the system and the safety of its users.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s guidelines concerning installation, operation and
maintenance recommendations. In general, the battery (or battery bank) should be
away from the main flow of people and animal traffic. Select a battery site that is
protected from sunlight, rain, snow, debris, and is well ventilated. Most batteries
generate hydrogen gas when charging, which can be explosive. Do not light matches
or create sparks near the battery bank. When a battery is installed outdoors, it should

Rev. C
- 7 -
be placed in an insulated and ventilated battery case specifically designed for the
purpose.
Do not install the PV module in a location where it would be immersed in water or
continually exposed to water from a sprinkler or fountain etc.
2.2.3 Tilt angle selection
The tilt angle of the PV module is measured between the surface of the PV module
and a horizontal ground surface (Figure 1). The PV module generates maximum
output power when it faces the sun directly.
Figure1: PV module title angle
For standalone systems with batteries where the PV modules are attached to a
permanent structure, the tilt angle of the PV modules should be selected to optimize
the performance based on seasonal load and sunlight. In general, if the PV output is
adequate when irradiance is low (e.g., winter), then the angle chosen should be
adequate during the rest of the year. For grid-connected installations where the PV
modules are attached to a permanent structure, PV modules should be tilted so that
the energy production from the PV modules will be maximized on an annual basis.

2.3 Mechanical Installation introduction
Solar PV modules usually can be mounted by using the following methods: screws
and clamps.
﹡Note:
(1) All installation methods herein are only for reference, and Jinko Solar will not
provide related mounting components, the system installer or trained professional
personnel must be responsible for the PV system’s design, installation, and
mechanical load calculation and security of the system.
(2) Before installing, you should confirm below important things:
1) Visual check before installation, to make sure there is no bug in the packing
and junction box as well as the surface of module, If have , remove and clean it .
2) Check the series number is right or not.
3) The minimum distance between modules should be more than 10mm for all
installation methods.
(3) Jinko modules are designed to meet a maximum positive (or downward) pressure
of 3600Pa and negative (or upward) pressure of 1600Pa. When mounting
modules in snow-prone or high-wind environments, Special care should be taken
to mount the modules in a manner that provides sufficient design strength while
meeting local code requirements.
(4) Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, spilt-ring lock
washers, flat washers and the like) is used to attach a listed grounding/bonding
device, the attachment must be made in conformance with the grounding device
manufacturer's instructions.
Common hardware items such as nuts, bolts, star washers, lock washers and the
like have not been evaluated for electrical conductivity or for use as grounding
devices and should be used only for maintaining mechanical connections and
holding electrical grounding devices in the proper position for electrical
conductivity. Such devices, where supplied with the module and evaluated
through the requirements in UL 1703, may be used for grounding connections in
accordance with the instructions provided with the module.

2.3.1 Fixation with screws
The frame of each module has 8 mounting holes (Length* Width: 14mm*9mm) used
to secure the modules to support structure. You can use the four symmetry holes
close to the inner side on module frame. If excessive wind or snow load are expected,
you must use all the eight mounting holes. The module frame must be attached to a
mounting rail using M8 corrosion-proof screws together with spring washers and flat
washers in eight symmetrical locations on the PV module. The applied torque value
should be big enough to fix the modules steadily. The reference value for M8 screw is
16~20N*m. As to special support system or special installation requirement, please
reconfirm with the support’s supplier for the torque value. Please find detailed
mounting information in the below illustration.
Figure 2 above: PV module installed with Screw fitting method*

- 10 -
2.3.2 Fixation with clamps
The applicable products only allow using clamps at long side of frames.
The module clamps should not come into contact with the front glass and must not
deform the frame. Be sure to avoid shadowing effects from the module clamps. The
module frame is not to be modified under any circumstances. When choosing this
type of clamp-mounting method, please be sure to use at least four clamps on each
module, two clamps should be attached on each long side of the module. The applied
torque value should be big enough to fix the modules steadily (Please consult with
the clamp or support’s supplier for the specific torque value). Please find detailed
mounting information in the below illustration, the mounting place distance is
suggested bigger than J and less than K，as showed below.

3. Wiring and connection
a) Before this procedure, please read the operation instructions of the PV system
carefully. Make wiring by Multi-connecting cables between the PV modules in
series or parallel connection, which is determined by user’s configuration
requirement for system power, current and voltage.
b) PV module connected in series should have similar current, and modules must not
be connected together to create a voltage higher than the permitted system
voltage. The maximum number of modules in series depends on system design,
the type of inverter used and environmental conditions.
c) The maximum fuse rating value in an array string can be found on the product
label or in the product datasheet. The fuse rating value is also corresponding to the

- 12 -
maximum reverse current that a module can withstand, i.e. when one string is in
shade then the other parallel strings of modules will be load by the shade string
and the current will pass through to create a current circuit. Thus based on the
maximum series fuse rating of module and local electrical installation criteria,
make sure the modules strings in parallel for connection need to be assembled
with appropriate string fuse for circuit protection.
d) Open the connection box of the control system and connect the cable from the PV
arrays to the connection box in accordance with the installation indication of the PV
control systems. The cross-sectional area and cable connector capacity must
satisfy the maximum short-circuit of PV system (For a single component, we
recommended the cross-sectional area of cables is 4mm2and the rated current of
connectors is more than 10A), otherwise cables and connectors will become
overheated from large current. Please pay attention: the temperature limit of
cables is 85℃and the temperature limit of connector 105℃.
e) All module frames and mounting racks must be properly grounded in accordance
with local and national electrical codes. It is recommended that the applied torque
is 2.3 to 2.8Nm.
Jinko modules can be grounded using third party ground washers or clip devices
（Use Tyco：1954381-1）as long as the products are approved for grounding
metallic frames of PV modules.
Alternate grounding options built into the racking system are acceptable so long as
they have been UL approved.
f) Follow the requirements of applicable local and national electrical codes.
g) These modules contain factory installed bypass diode, if these modules are
incorrectly connected to each other, the bypass diodes, cable or junction box may
be damaged.
h) The module shall wire in accordance with the NEC, the grounding method of the
frame of arrays shall comply with the NEC, article 250.
i) It is recommended that the screw be tightened to a torque of about 8 Nm.
j) The cable of the junction box is defined as L1, as showed below. For Jinko
standard module, L1 is 900 /1200mm; and for customized module, L1 can be
based on your condition, take the cable length into consideration before designing
the wiring layout.
k) Jinko Solar requires the negative grounding of the inverter when a system is
installed with standard (non-Eagle line) PV solar modules. Alternatively, a

Rev. C
- 13 -
‘charge-equalizing’ device may be used to mitigate the effects of the Potential
Induced Degradation (PID) phenomenon that can occur in specific environments
that the array is installed in.
Figure 4 above: Junction box
4. Maintenance and care
a) A built up of dust or dirt on the module(s) front glass will result in a decreased
energy output. Clean the module(s) preferably once annually if possible (depend
on site conditions) using a soft cloth dry or damp, as necessary.
b) Never use abrasive material under any circumstances.
c) Examine the PV module(s) for signs of deterioration. Check all wiring for possible
rodent damage, weathering and that all connections are tight and corrosion free.
Check electrical leakage to ground.
d) Check fixing screws and mounting brackets are tight, adjust and tighten as
necessary.
e) Check the junction box and diodes are well. If you have any diodes problem,
please contact Jinko Solar.
f) When cleaning the modules, it is not allowed to stand on the module. See below
pictures shown; this is prohibited.

- 14 -
5. Electrical specification
The module electrical rating are measured under Standard Test Conditions, which
are 1000W/m2, irradiance with AM 1.5 spectrum and 25 deg (77°F) ambient
temperature. The module might produce more or less voltage or current than rating
value in uncertainty condition. Tables below are electrical characteristics of PV
products at STC and the tolerance of Isc，Voc，Vmp and Imp is ±3%, except that
JKMSxxxM-60, JKMSxxxM-72 series is ±10%.
