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 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.
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: 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:
a) Visually check the module for any damage. Clean the module if any dirt or residue remains from
shipping .
b) Check if module serial number stickers match.
3) Jinko modules are designed to meet a maximum positive (or downward) pressure of 3600Pa (Only
