Solar Panels for Installers

Jinko offers high-power panels for grid-connected systems. Victron focuses on lower-power panels for off-grid systems, such as caravans or isolated installations.

Jinko N-type PERC monocrystalline modules are the most suitable for residential use due to their efficiency and compatibility with inverters such as Fox, Huawei, or Victron.

Yes. With a suitable inverter and charger, solar power can be used for electric cars. Jinko modules are ideal for this type of solution.

It's possible, but it's more recommended for stand-alone systems or as a backup. For grid-connected domestic use, Jinko solar panels are recommended.

To generate 1000 kWh per month, it takes between 14 and 18 solar panels of 505 W...depending on sun exposure and system efficiency. In areas with good solar radiation, the number may be slightly lower.

To choose a photovoltaic panel, you should compare the power (W), efficiency (%), cell type (N-type PERC), single-face or two-face, guarantees e certifications. Choose reliable brands like Jinko or Victron and ensure compatibility with the rest of your system.

To install a solar panel, you will need: the panel, an inverter, a mounting structure, cables, protective devices, possibly batteries, and a bidirectional meter (if connected to the grid). The installation must comply with technical standards.

A photovoltaic solar panel has, on average, a lifespan of between 25 and 30 years, maintaining most of its production capacity. Most manufacturers guarantee the performance of the modules for 20 to 25 years, and even after that period, it is common for them to continue producing about 80% of the initial power. Other components, such as the inverter, typically have a shorter lifespan and may need replacement after 10 to 15 years.

Solar panels require little maintenance. As a general rule, periodic cleaning is sufficient to remove dust, leaves, and dirt that reduces light transmission. In many cases, 1 to 2 cleanings per year are enough. In areas with a lot of dust or pollution, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. There are no moving parts in the panels, so malfunctions are rare; however, occasional technical checks of the connections and inverter are recommended.
