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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
2.3.1 Fixed installation-mounting with bolts Install the module on the rack using anti-corrosion bolts, elastic washers and flat washers with sufficient torque to allow the module to be properly secured. The reference value of tightening torque for M8 bolt is 16-20 N*M, and for M6 bolt is 9-12 N*M.

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.

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.

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. 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.
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.
are cooler, especially in regions with hot temperatures; d) Never attempt to clean PV module with broken glass or other signs of exposed wiring, as this presents a shock hazard; e) Never use chemicals when cleaning modules as this may affect the module warranty and energy yield.
6. Disclaimer of Liability Because the use of the manual and the conditions or methods of installation, operation, use and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) product are beyond Jinko’s control, Jinko does not accept responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with such installation, operation, use or maintenance.
