Solar container chassis housing installation hole requirements

How high can a JinkoSolar PV module be installed?

The maximum altitude of module installation is 2000m. JinkoSolar standard PV modules have passed the IEC 61701:2020 salt spray corrosion test (method 6). In the case modules are installed within 50m to 500m from the seashore, the connectors shall be protected, i.e., adding dust plugs.

What is the minimum clearance between PV modules?

A minimum clearance of 6.5 mm (0.25 in) between modules is required to allow thermal expansion of the frames and modules. The drain holes should not be blocked. To maximize the annual yield, please calculate the optimum orientation and tilt for PV modules in that specific installation site.

Do AE solar modules have mounting holes?

To maximize the mounting structure’s lifetime, AE Solar recommends using corrosion-proof (stainless steel) fixtures. The frame of each module has mounting holes placed to optimize the load handling capability, to secure the modules to the mounting structure. Please refer to the module datasheet for the number of holes, dimensions and placement.

How can PV modules be mounted on a substructure?

PV modules can be mounted onto the substructure using either corrosion-proof M8 bolts placed through the mounting holes on the rear of the modules or with specially designed module clamps. 5.2.1.1. Mounting with Bolts

How do I maintain a solar module?

Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clean. Particular measures should be taken to avoid permanent shading from dirt or debris (e.g., plants, bird droppings, etc.). Do not install modules directly behind any object (e.g., tree, antenna, etc.) to prevent occurrence of permanent shading.

Do I need to inform end-users if a solar module is installed?

Installers must inform end-users (consumers) of the aforesaid information accordingly. The word “module” or “PV module” used in this manual refers to one or more Canadian Solar modules. This manual is valid for the solar modules listed in the table below. Please retain this manual for future reference.
