JinkoSolar launches Smart Module series at PV Expo
JinkoSolar today launched a new series of smart modules at the PV Expo in Japan.
“We are pleased to introduce the latest advancement in JinkoSolar technology. Our smart modules will significantly improve working performance for the PV system. With the introduction of a new generation of smart modules, JinkoSolar will continue to provide customers with affordable clean energy choices,” said JinkoSolar CEO Kangping Chen.
JinkoSolar Smart Modules correct mismatch issues towards cells and module strings by using embedded cell optimiser ICs that provide sub-panel level maximum power point tracking (MPPT) functions. This allows any underperforming cell or module strings to continue contributing power to the string while not restricting the flow of the others.
According to the company, the smart modules will also minimise the risk of hotspots, which are the primary cause of module failure. Electricity generation increases approximately 20% when compared with standard solar modules, which tend to have difficulty operating in unfavourable conditions such as in the shade and under clouds or when not correctly oriented.
