When installing modules on roof mounted structures, please try to follow the “from top to
bottom” and/or “from left to right” principle, and don’t step on the module. This will damage
the module and would be dangerous for personal safety.
Modules will have thermal expansion and cold contraction effect. When installing, the interval
between two adjacent conventional modules is recommended > 10mm.The minimum
clearance between two adjacent double-sided modules is recommended > 20mm;If there
are special requirements, please confirm with Jinko and install it;
During the installation, disassembly, maintenance and any other related processes of the
product, it is recommended that the force applied between the cable and the connector, the
cable and the junction box be no more than 60N.
2.2 Installation Condition
2.2.1 Climate Condition
Please install the modules in the following conditions:
a) Operating temperature: within
–40°C(-40
℉
) to 85°C (185
℉
)
b) Humidity: < 85RH%
c) Ambient air temperature range of -40°C to + 40°C
﹡
Note: The mechanical load bearing (include wind and snow loads) of the module is based on the
approved mounting methods. The professional system installer must be responsible for mechanical load
calculation according to the system design.

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.
Modules facing 30 degrees away from true South (or North) will lose approximately10 to 15
percent of their power output. If the module faces 60 degrees away from true South (or North),
the power loss will be 20 to 30 percent.
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions, which could cast shadows on the
solar photovoltaic modules especially during the winter months when the arc of the sun is lowest
over the horizon. Shading causes loss of output, even though the factory fitted bypass diodes of
the PV module will minimize any such loss.
Do not install the PV module near open flame or flammable materials.
