1. General Information
1.1 Overview
Thanks for choosing Jinko Solar PV modules (hereafter referred to as “modules”). In order to ensure that
the PV modules are installed correctly, please read the following instructions carefully before installing
and using the modules.
Please remember that PV modules generate electricity and that certain safety measures must be taken to
avoid danger.
The application class of modules: Class II (IEC61730:2016); Class A (IEC61730:2004).
1.2 Warnings
Precautions:
⚫Modules generate DC electrical energy when exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Improper
contact with live parts of the module such as terminals can result in burns, sparks, and lethal shock.
⚫Front glass is used for module protection. Broken glass can cause electrical safety hazard (may
cause electric shock or fire). These modules cannot be repaired and must be removed and replaced
immediately.
⚫Breakage of the rear glass (in the case of bifacial PV modules) can also lead to the issue of electrical
safety. As in the case of monofacial modules, this cannot be repaired and the modules must be
disconnected and replaced immediately.
⚫The table of specifications is measured under standard test conditions (Irradiance 1000W/m2, module
cell temperature 25oC, air mass=1.5). The current and voltage generated by modules in different
environments are different from those listed in the specification table. Therefore, when determining
the specifications of the rated voltage, cable capacity, fuse capacity, controller capacity, and other
output power related specifications, take the values of 1.25 times the short-circuit current and
open-circuit voltage marked on the module as reference, and consult with your inverter/controller
supplier for the system configuration design.
⚫During all deliveries, ensure that the modules are not subject to big shocks during transportation,
which may damage the assembly or cause cracks in the cell of modules.
⚫When the electrical load is working, do not disconnect modules without authorization; if disconnecting
the connector is needed, the DC and AC inverters must be turned off first or the main switch of the
converter must be cut off.
⚫When the battery storage system is connected with the PV system, the battery must be installed
correctly, so as to protect the operation of the system and ensure the user safety; Follow the battery

the frame of the module, which may damage the cells or cause the cells to crack.
⚫Do not use the module to replace or partly replace roofs and walls of buildings.
⚫Do not remove any part installed by Jinko Solar or disassemble the module.
⚫Don’t lift up the modules using the attached cables or the junction box.
⚫Modules (glass, junction boxes, connectors, etc.) shall be protected from long-term exposure to
environments containing sulfur, acid, alkaline, etc., which may pose a risk of corrosion to the product,
and organic solvents which can destroy anti-reflection (AR) coating on the front glass or have a
negative impact on the polymers as junction boxes and backsheet.
⚫The junction box must meet IP68 (IEC60529) requirement, however it must be protected from direct
sunlight and water immersion. The interconnection of female-male connectors shall meet the IP68
(IEC60529) requirements. However, it is not allowed to use the connector under water for a long time.
⚫The junction box and the connector shall not be in contact with oily substances, organic solvents and
other corrosive materials that may cause functional failure, i.e., alcohol, gasoline, lubricants, rust
inhibitors, herbicides, to avoid damage to the junction box and the connector. If the junction box and
connector are contaminated, they are forbidden to use.
⚫Do not stand or step on the module like shown in the below pictures. This is prohibited and there is a
risk of damaging the module and injuring the user.
⚫Do not touch live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for electrical connections.
⚫Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed onto the module. Do not expose the back of the
monofacial module directly to sunlight.

- 5 -
Others:
⚫The maximum altitude of module installation is 2000m.
⚫The minimum distance from the seashore is 50m (for more info, please refer to 2.2.2).
⚫When looking at PV modules with anti-reflection (AR) coating technology, it will be normal to see
module with a slight color difference at different angles.
⚫Before the installation of modules, the modules shall be kept under rainproof facility to avoid direct
exposure to rain and sunlight.
⚫Meaning of crossed –out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use
separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems
available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to
take back your old appliance for disposals at least free of charge.
For more, please contact Jinko or refer to the operation and maintenance guideline.
2. Installation
2.1 Installation Safety
⚫Always wear safety helmet, insulated gloves, insulated rubber shoes, and other protective measures
during installation.
⚫When installing or maintaining the PV system, please do not wear metal rings, watches and other
metal products, so as not to cause electric shock danger and damage the modules.
⚫Keep the module unpacked until installation. Once the modules are removed from the pallet, they
shall be installed and connected to the inverter. If they are not installed immediately, protective
measures (such as adding rubber joint cover, etc.) shall be taken on the connection head.
⚫Do not touch the PV module with bare hands during installation unless necessary. The glass surface
and the frame may be hot. There is a risk of burns and electric shock. Use the standard safety tools
and equipment when installing the modules.
⚫Do not work in rain, snow or windy conditions.
⚫Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any work if the terminals of the module are wet.

- 6 -
⚫Use insulated tools and do not use wet tools.
⚫Only the modules of the same size and the specifications within same range can be connected in
series.
⚫Connect the male and female connectors correctly, check the wiring condition, all wires shall not be
detached from the modules, and secure the wires with cable ties so that the wires do not scratch or
squeeze the backsheet of the modules.
⚫Do not touch the junction box or the connectors with bare hands during installation or under sunlight,
regardless if the module is connected to or disconnected from the system.
⚫Do not drill holes in the frame without authorization from Jinko, which may cause corrosion or other
negative effects to the module.
⚫Thermal expansion and cold contraction effect occur on the modules. During installation, the interval
between two adjacent modules must be ≥10mm. If there are special requirements, please confirm
with Jinko before installation;
⚫During the installation, as for module removal, maintenance and any other related processes, it is
recommended that the force applied between the cable and the connector, and the cable and the
junction box to be no more than 60N.
⚫Do not install the modules anywhere close to open flames or exposed flammable and explosive
gases.
2.2 Installation Condition
2.2.1 Climate Condition
The recommended weather conditions for installing modules are:
a) Humidity: < 85% RH
b) Ambient air temperature range: -40°C to + 40°C
c) Limit working ambient temperature range: -40°C to + 70°C
2.2.2 Site Selection
In most applications, Jinko solar PV modules should be installed in a location where they can 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 due South (or due North) will lose approximately 10 to 15 percent of their power
output. If the module faces 60 degrees away from due South (or due North), the power loss will be 20 to
30 percent. Refer to the longitude and latitude of the location to determine the optimal azimuth of the
module.

- 7 -
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions that could create shadows on the modules.
Shading causes loss of power output, even though bypass diodes have been installed for the module,
shading will affect the optimum performance and safety issue of the PV modules. Operation in permanent
shading conditions is not recommended.
Do not install the PV module near open flame or flammable materials.
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.
JinkoSolar PV modules have passed the IEC 61701 salt spray corrosion test.The PV modules can be
installed at a distance of 50m away from the seashore. In the case when the modules are installed within
50m to 500m distance from the seashore, the connectors shall be protected, i.e., adding dust plugs. After
removing the dust plugs, connect the connectors immediately and take other anti-rust measures to
prevent rust.
For roof-top installations, the roof must be covered with at least one layer of fireproof material suitable for
the fireproof class of the PV modules. To facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation of the module, the
minimum distance between modules and roof must be ≥10 cm. Walkways should be reserved for
cleaning, repair and maintenance.. For roof-top PV systems, please follow the safety principles of "from
top to bottom" and "from left to right". Please use appropriate module components to comply with local
laws and regulations, as well as the building fire safety requirements before installation, such as fuses,
circuit breakers and grounding connectors, 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 module generates maximum output power when directly facing the sun.
For standalone systems, the tilt angle of the modules should be selected to optimize the performance
based on the season and sunlight. In general, if the module output is
adequate when the irradiance is low (i.e., winter), the angle chosen
should be adequate during the rest of the year.
For grid-connected systems, modules should be tilted at the angle
that the energy production from the modules will be maximized on
an annual basis. The Fire Class Rating of a module for roof
mounted system shall meet local code requirements in order to Fig. 1 PV module tilt angle
achieve the specified System Fire Class Rating for a non-BIPV module.
All PV systems have limitations of inclination required to maintain a specific System Fire Class Rating.

2.3 Mechanical Installation
Modules can usually be mounted by using the following methods: fixed installation-mounting with bolts,
fixed installation-mounting with clamps and tracker installation.
﹡Note:
1) All installation methods herein are only for reference, and they are based on the test results from
third-party tests and Jinko internal tests;
2) Jinko solar will not provide related mounting accessories, the system installer or trained professional
personnel must be responsible for the PV system’s design, installation, and mechanical load
calculation and system security.
3) Before installation, the following items shall be addressed:
a) Visually check the module for any damage. Clean the module if any dirt or residue remains;
b) Check if module serial number stickers match.
4) The maximum loads that different types of modules can withstand on the front side and back side are
dependent on installation methods, which can be referred to Table 2, Table 3 and Table 5. If there is
heavy snow and strong wind on the module installation site, take special protection to meet the actual
requirements.
5) The module must be mounted on the bracket according to the following installation. If there are other
installation, please consult JinkoSolar and obtain approval, otherwise the warranty will be invalid.
Note: Maximum Test Load = 1.5 (Safety factor) x Design load

2.3.2 Fixed installation-mounting with clamps
The clamps must not be installed in contact with the front glass of the module and must not deform the
module frame. Ensure that the clamps does not create a shadow on the module. Under no circumstances
may the frame be altered. When choosing the mounting method for the clamps, make sure that there are
at least four clamps on each module. The different mounting positions of the clamps determine the
maximum load capacity of the module. Figures 6 - 10 show the different mounting methods and the
positions of the clamps for the different mounting methods. Depending on the local wind and snow loads,
if there is a possibility of excessive load combinations, additionalclamps are required to ensure that the
module has enough load carrying capacity. The torque value applied during installation of the clamps
should be high enough to securely hold the module (consult installer or bracket supplier for exact torque
value). Recommended clamp dimensions and contact area are shown in Table 4

3. Wiring and Connection
a) When installing and connecting modules, the foam tube must be removed first, Jinko will not
guarantee the safety of products and the consistency of technical parameters if the connecting heads
and tools used are not officially specified by Jinko or are not installed according to the official
requirements.
b) PV modules connected in series shall have similar current, (please contact Jinko if there is any
concern), 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 and the rating
of the inverter used.
c) The maximum fuse rating value in an array string can be found on product label or product datasheet.
The fuse rating value is also corresponding to the maximum reverse current that a module can
withstand, for example, when one string is in shade then the other parallel strings of modules will be

- 18 -
loaded by the shaded string and the current will pass through to create a current circuit. Based on the
maximum series fuse rating of module and local electrical codes and standards, make sure the
modules strings in parallel are protected with the appropriate in-line string fuse.
d) Open the combiner box of the control system and connect the conductor from the PV arrays to the
combiner box in accordance with the design and local codes and standards. The cross-sectional area
and cable connector capacity must satisfy the maximum short-circuit of the PV system (for a single
module, it is recommended that the cross-sectional area of cables be 4mm2and the rated current of
connectors be more than 10A), otherwise cables and connectors will become overheating for large
current. Please pay attention that the temperature limit of cables is 90℃.
e) The module frame must be grounded, and the grounding design should be in accordance with local
national, regional or international regulations, laws and standards, and the grounding connection
should be carried out by qualified electricians.
f) The grounding device must penetrate the anodic oxide film of the component frame and make full
contact with the interior of the aluminum alloy, and the grounding conductor must be connected to
earth ground through a suitable grounding electrode.
g) There are grounding holes with a diameter of 4mm on the long side of the back frame of the module
by the edge part, the hole can only be used for grounding, can not be used for the installation of the
module, and the frame of the module shall not be punched with additional holes.
h) Grounding devices and materials shall be provided by qualified manufacturers. Bolts, nuts and
washers shall be of a size to match the grounding hole and made of stainless steel, and grounding
wires shall be made of copper core wires with a size of AWG 6-12 (4-14mm2) and shall comply with
the requirements of the relevant local national, regional or international regulations, laws and
standards.
i) JinkoSolar recommends two types of grounding: bolted grounding, shown in Figure 11, and clamp
grounding .The bolts should be tightened when grounding is installed and no damage should be done
to the module frame or the grounding wire.
Fig. 11 Grounding of PV modules
j) Follow the requirements of applicable local and national electrical codes.

- 19 -
k) Modules contain factory-installed bypass diodes. If modules are incorrectly connected to each other,
the bypass diodes, cable or junction boxes may be damaged.
l) The length of the junction box shall be determined according to the component specifications and
the customer's design proposal. As shown in Figure 12 below, consider the length of the lead wire
before designing the wiring.
Fig. 12 (1) The full-cell module junction box
Fig. 13 (2) The half–cut cell module/ split junction box
m) -If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of individual voltages. The
recommended system voltage is as below,
System voltage ≥ N*Voc[1+TCVoc* (Tmin-25)]
-If the modules are connected in parallel, the recommended number of modules in parallel is:
maximum series fuse rating/Isc+1
Where:
N module numbers in series
Voc Open circuit voltage (refer to product label or data sheet)
TCVoc Temperature coefficient of open circuit voltage (refer to product label or data sheet)

Tmin Minimum ambient temperature
n) For floating projects, please contact local technical support.
o) Connectors and bybass diodes from different manufacturers should not be mated together. If such
replacement is needed, please contact Jinko Solar.
4. Maintenance and Care
It is required to perform regular inspection and maintenance of the modules, especially during the
warranty period. To ensure optimum module performance, Jinko recommends the following
maintenance measures:
4.1 Visual Inspection
Inspect the modules visually to find if there are any visual defects, if there are, the following items
should be evaluated:
a) If the modules are observed having slight module color differences at different angles, this is a
normal phenomenon for modules with anti-reflection coating technology. If the colors are within the
cell, please consult Jinko for further analysis.
b) Whether the glass is broken.
c) No sharp objects are in contact with the PV module surfaces.
d) The PV modules are not shaded by unwanted obstacles or foreign material.
e) Corrosion along the cells’ busbar. The corrosion is caused by moisture intrusion thought the module
back sheet. Check the back sheet for damage.
f) Check whether the back sheet is burnt.
g) Check if screws and mounting accessories are tight, adjust and tighten as necessary.
4.2 Cleaning
a) A buildup of dust or dirt on the module front face will result in a decreased energy output. Clean the
module preferably once per annum, more frequently in dusty conditions, using soft cloth dry or damp.
Water with high mineral content may leave deposits on the glass surface and is not recommended. It
is recommended to use neutral water of the PH value ranging from 6.5 to 8.5 to clean the glass, so as
not to cause damage to the glass coating layer;
b) Never use abrasive material under any circumstances;
c) In order to reduce the potential for electrical and thermal shock, Jinko recommends to clean PV
modules during early morning or late afternoon hours when solar irradiation is low and the modules
