These features make Tiger modules suitable for a variety of scenarios from small homes to ultra-large power stations.

2. Main installation methods of Jinko Tiger panels

2.1 Rooftop installation: the mainstream choice for distributed photovoltaics

Rooftop installation is one of the most popular photovoltaic module installation methods, especially suitable for residential houses, commercial buildings, factory buildings and other places.

Insert roof installation

Installing photovoltaic panels on sloping roofs not only utilizes idle space, but also the inclination angle naturally facilitates rainwater to wash the panel surface, reducing the power generation efficiency loss caused by dust accumulation.

This type of roof usually adopts metal tile or cement tile structure, and needs to be fixed with a special bracket system and clamps during installation to ensure strong wind load resistance and maintain good ventilation and heat dissipation between panels.

Flat roof installation

Flat roofs are more common in commercial buildings and industrial plants. In this scenario, photovoltaic panels usually need to use tilt brackets to set the appropriate direction and angle to receive sunlight radiation to the maximum extent.

This method places higher requirements on the bracket system, which must have good stability and corrosion resistance. In order to avoid roof damage, ballast installation can also be used, that is, the components are pressed by counterweights without penetrating the roof, which is both stable and protects the building structure.

2.2 Ground installation: the first choice for large power stations and open spaces

For project parties with large open spaces, ground installation is a more flexible and efficient solution, which is widely used in centralized photovoltaic power stations, agricultural photovoltaics, and fish-light complementarity.

Fixed bracket installation

This is a ground installation method with a simple structure and relatively low cost. The bracket is usually set at a certain inclination angle and fixedly faces the south or the best local sunshine direction.

This method is suitable for areas with stable light resources and flat terrain, and is easy to install and maintain. But its only disadvantage is that due to the fixed angle of the component, it cannot follow the movement of the sun, which may cause insufficient utilization of sunlight resources.

Tracking system installation

Compared with fixed brackets, photovoltaic tracking systems use motors or hydraulic systems to move panels along the trajectory of the sun, thereby improving the utilization rate of sunlight.

Single-axis or dual-axis tracking systems can be installed with Tiger panels. Its advantage is that the power generation efficiency can be increased by about 10%-25%, but it also means higher initial investment costs and later maintenance requirements.

2.3 Photovoltaic carports and photovoltaic shading structures: both function and beauty

In addition to traditional roof and ground systems, some users tend to combine photovoltaic modules with existing buildings or functional structures to form a "power generation + shading" dual value application method.

Photovoltaic carport

In public parking lots, corporate parks or residential communities, integrating photovoltaic modules into carport structures can not only shade vehicles from the sun and rain, but also achieve green power supply. It is an innovative installation method that takes into account both beauty and practicality.

This type of structure requires a custom-designed bracket system to bear the weight of the panel and ensure drainage, ventilation, lightning protection and other functions. At the same time, it requires a hidden design of electrical wiring to ensure overall aesthetics and safety.

Awning and balcony system

In balconies, outside windows, stairways and other places, photovoltaic panels can also be integrated into shading systems or architectural aesthetic elements through modular design, which is suitable for application scenarios with limited space but certain power generation needs.

2.4 Agriculture and fishery integration scenarios: Assisting "agricultural photovoltaic complementarity" and "fishery photovoltaic complementarity"

In recent years, photovoltaic power station projects developed in combination with agricultural greenhouses or fishery ponds have developed rapidly, achieving energy output without affecting normal agricultural/fishery operations.

Agricultural greenhouse top installation

Using photovoltaic modules to build a partially light-transmitting structure of the greenhouse top can not only shade and control temperature, but also not completely affect plant photosynthesis. This requires the selected components to have good load-bearing performance and waterproof ability, and to be matched with a reasonable layout design.

Fisheries water surface bracket installation

In areas such as aquaculture ponds, reservoirs, and swamps, the use of floating bracket systems to lay photovoltaic modules on the water surface not only saves land resources, but also reduces water evaporation and improves the stability of the aquaculture environment.

This type of installation method places higher requirements on the weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and moisture resistance of the components.

2.5 Facade and curtain wall system: the future direction of photovoltaic and building integration

With the promotion of the concept of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), more and more building facades and curtain wall systems are designed to have power generation functions.

The Tiger panel is integrated with the building curtain wall, and is no longer simply installed on the surface as an additional device, but directly as a component of the wall or glass curtain wall. This type of panel must have high strength, low reflectivity, beautiful appearance and fire resistance, and support customized size and color matching.

In commercial office buildings and high-rise buildings, this installation method can effectively improve the green rating of buildings and is one of the important directions for the development of green buildings in the future.

2.6 Portable and compact structure installation: flexible choice in emergency and mobile scenarios

In some application scenarios, such as field operations, mobile RVs, and power supply in remote areas, users prefer flexible and portable photovoltaic solutions.

This type of system is often installed with a foldable bracket, a simple frame or a mobile base, which is quick to install and can be deployed without a professional construction team. Although the power of a single unit is limited, it can be expanded in scale through series and parallel connection.

Tiger modules usually have high impact resistance and wide environmental adaptability, and are particularly reliable in the wild or harsh environments.

3. Installation precautions

No matter which installation method is used, the following points are the key to achieving efficient and stable operation:

Orientation and tilt optimization: Reasonably set the panel orientation and installation angle to obtain the best light;

Ventilation and heat dissipation design: The modules need to maintain sufficient ventilation gaps to avoid high temperature causing efficiency reduction;

Waterproof and grounding treatment: Especially in roof and water surface installation, waterproof and electrical safety are particularly important;

Structural strength and wind resistance assessment: High-strength brackets must be used in high-rise buildings, seaside and other windy areas;

Grid-connected and inverter system compatibility: Ensure that the modules are well matched with the inverter and battery system to avoid loss;

Regular maintenance and cleaning: The installation structure should be easy to maintain later to avoid dust blocking and affecting power generation.

The reason why Jinko Tiger solar panels are so popular in the global market is not only because of their high conversion efficiency and quality assurance, but also because of their installation flexibility and adaptability. For installers, power station developers or home users, a deep understanding of the various installation methods supported by Tiger panels will help scientifically plan projects, improve investment returns, and ensure safe and efficient operation.
