Do not hit or put excessive load on the glass or back sheet, this may break the cells or
cause micro cracks.
During installation or operation, don’t use sharp tools to wipe the back sheet and glass.
Scratches can appear on the module.
Do not drill holes in the frame, it may cause corrosion of the frame and void the warranty.
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
. For r
oof mount
ed
applications
,
the assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the
application.
All PV systems must be grounded to earth (Refer to 3.“Wiring and connection” for specific
grounded).
2.2 Installation Condition
2.2.1 Climate
C
ondition
Please install the modules in the following conditions:
a) Operating temperature: within
–40°C(-40°F) to 85°C (185°F).
b) Humidity: < 85RH%.
﹡
Note:
The mechanical load bearing (includ
ing
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

election
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
approximately 10 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.
When solar modules are used to charge batteries, the battery must be installed in a manner,
which will protect the performance of the system and the safety of its users. Follow the
battery manufacturer’s 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,
