JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China), on April 27th,
2016 announced that its 1500-volt Eagle PV modules, manufactured with
its strategic partner DuPont’s Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride film-based
backsheets, have received UL1703 certification by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL).
Following certification, the modules have
immediately become available for use in solar energy installations
across North America.
With its modules now in the market, JinkoSolar will
be able to meet the growing demand for higher-voltage systems, which
lower overall costs, reduce levelized cost of energy, and enable a
better return on investment, the company notes.
These modules pass potential induced degradation tests at 85 degrees Celsius and 85% relative humidity.
Panel compatible with commonly used racking and tracking systems
The Eagle module is a framed panel compatible with
commonly used racking and tracking systems in the North America market.
“DuPont Tedlar is the only backsheet material proven to protect solar
panels in the field for more than 30 years in harsh environmental
conditions such as desert, jungle, coastal, and mountain climates,”
reads the press release.
“DuPont Tedlar PVF film-based backsheets offer the
optimal balance of weatherability, adhesion, and mechanical strength –
properties required for long module lifetime. They provide extended
durability and electrical insulation, which make them ideal components
for JinkoSolar’s 1,500-volt Eagle modules, now poised to accelerate the
growth of the North American PV market,” said Alex Bradley, Principal
Investigator, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions.
“JinkoSolar has quickly become the brand of choice
for utility-scale installations due to our high quality modules and
unmatched after sales services. I believe that JinkoSolar’s 1,500-volt
Eagle modules are by far one of the most robust products in the North
American market,” added Nigel Cockroft, General Manager of JinkoSolar
(U.S.) Inc.
