The Smart Modules correct mismatch issues towards cells and module strings by using embedded cell optimizer ICs that provide sub-panel level Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) functions. This in turn allow any underperforming cell or module strings to continue contributing power to the string while not restricting the flow of the others.
The modules will also significantly minimize the risk of hot spots which are the primary cause of module failure. Compared with standard modules, the new Smart Modules will increase electricity generation by approximately 20 percent.
“Our Smart Modules will significantly improve working performance for the PV system” said Mr. Kangping Chen, Chief Executive Officer of JinkoSolar. “JinkoSolar will continue to provide customers with affordable clean energy choices.”
In other news, Jinko Solar has also announced that it has entered into an agreement with its distributor, Premium Energy Co. Ltd, to supply 49.41KW of high efficiency JKM270M-60-J solar modules to the Swiss Embassy in Tokyo, Japan. This will be the first clean energy project constructed on the embassy. It was described as an ‘iconic project’ by the chairman of Jinko Solar, Mr Xiande Li.
