Solar PV modules usually can be mounted by using the following methods: bolts 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 installation, the following items should be addressed:
1) Visually check the module for any damage. Clean the module if any dirt or residue
remains from shipping.
2) Check if module serial number stickers match.
3) The minimum distance between modules should be more than 10mm for all installation
methods.
(3) The mounting with bolts and/or clamps on the long side of the frames could meet a
maximum positive testing (downward) pressure of 5400Pa and negative testing
(upward) pressure of 2400Pa. The mounting with clamps on the short side of the
frames could meet a positive testing (downward) pressure and negative testing
(upward) pressure of 1600Pa. The mounting of clamps on the long & short sides of
frames could meet a positive testing (downward) pressure and negative testing
(upward) pressure of 2400Pa. with a 1.5 times safety factor.
