What is the installation manual for JinkoSolar photovoltaic (PV) modules?
Thanks for choosing JinkoSolar photovoltaic (PV) modules (hereafter referred to as “modules”). This installation manual also applies to Neo Green products. This manual provides important safety guidelines for the installation, maintenance, and use of the modules.
How high can a JinkoSolar PV module be installed?
The maximum altitude of module installation is 2000m. JinkoSolar standard PV modules have passed the IEC 61701:2020 salt spray corrosion test (method 6). In the case modules are installed within 50m to 500m from the seashore, the connectors shall be protected, i.e., adding dust plugs.
Where should Jinko Solar PV modules be installed?
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.
Do JinkoSolar PV modules rust?
