*Negative grounding -> a ground fault will close the loop

Case scenario 120MWp


DC/AC RATIO 1.2



UP TO 70% LESS MODULES NEEDED CHOSSING JINKO FOR THE SAME DC POWER



• ALMOST HALF OF MODULES FOR FIRST COMPARED WITH JINKO’S 1500V ALTERNATIVE. • IT IMPACTS THE NUMBER OF STRINGS NEEDED AND THEREFORE THE QUANTITY OF STRING

BOXES AND WIRING



• 75% LESS STRINGS USING JINKO(1000V) AND UP TO 83% LESS STRING USING JINKO(1500V) FOR -20◦C



IN CASE OF STRING BOXES OF 16-INPUTS ARE SELECTED



IN CASE OF STRING BOXES OF 32-INPUTS ARE SELECTED

CAPEX IMPACT


• LABOUR COST, TIME, MODULE BREAKAGE DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE,…

Modules needed for a given power

• LAND REQUIREMENTS, TRACKS AND WIRING

Power density (W/m2) or Ground Coverage Ratio

• 70% LESS MODULES USED WITH JINKO COMPARE WITH FIRST

Mounting structure

• OVERCURRENT AND OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTIONS, SWITCHES, MONITORING WIRING

String Boxes, electrical protections and monitoring

• LARGER PERIMETER

Security and surveillance system

CAPEX IMPACT


• Based on the efficiency (W/m2) for FST (13.88%) and JKS (16.49%), the impact on the mounting structure can go up to 15% using FST compared with JKS

• The load (kg/m2) is 22% higher for FST than for JKS

Mounting structure

OPEX IMPACT


• QUANTITY OF WATER NEEDED (ASSUMED WATER USED FOR CLEANING PURPOSES)

• TIME AND LABOUR COST

Cleaning

• MORE PROTECTIONS AND PARTS

Spare parts

• MORE COMPLEXITY AND LARGER AMOUNT DATA

Monitoring

• OVERCURRENT AND OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTIONS, SWITCHES, MONITORING WIRING

String Boxes, electrical protections and monitoring
