Q1: What's the difference between dust-repellent modules and commercially available anti-dust modules?
A: Conventional dust-resistant modules primarily rely on optimized frame structures for passive dust prevention, which only partially reduces dust accumulation. Jinko's self-cleaning dust-repellent modules address the issue at the source by applying material technology to the glass surface, delivering more thorough and stable dust prevention.
Q2: How do anti-dust modules work?
A: Jinko's anti-dust modules feature an anti-static nano-coating that significantly reduces electrostatic dust adhesion. Combined with superhydrophilic self-cleaning and photocatalytic decomposition technology, they automatically wash away contaminants during rainfall and decompose organic matter like bird droppings and oil stains under sunlight. Combined with an optimized frame design, this achieves true dust resistance, minimal accumulation, and continuous self-cleaning. Long-term stability delivers a 4%-6% power generation gain, substantially reducing power plant operation and maintenance costs.
Q3: Can Jinko's anti-dust modules also prevent dust accumulation?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's important to clarify that "dust-repellent" does not mean completely dust-free, but rather that dust finds it difficult to adhere and is more easily dislodged. Through multiple self-cleaning technologies, the impact of dust accumulation on power generation is minimized, delivering performance far superior to conventional modules.
Q4: Can we understand that non-dust-accumulating modules are more suitable for tilted installations, while non-dust-adhering modules are suitable for all scenarios?
A: Yes, your understanding is entirely accurate. Traditional dust-free modules heavily rely on tilt angles for airflow management, resulting in significantly limited effectiveness on flat roofs or low-tilt scenarios. JinkoSolar's self-cleaning modules, however, operate independently of tilt angles. They deliver outstanding performance even in complex environments with low wind, minimal rainfall, or shallow tilts, making them suitable for diverse applications including desert/arid regions, agro-photovoltaic systems, commercial/industrial rooftops, and residential installations.
Q5: Can dust-free modules match the power generation efficiency of conventional Tiger 3 modules?
A: Under clean conditions, power generation efficiency is identical. Developed on the Tiger 3 platform, these modules fully inherit its electrical performance parameters and power ratings. In actual power plant operation, sustained surface cleanliness results in higher actual power generation compared to conventional modules.
Q6: Why not use manual or mechanical cleaning? What are the drawbacks?
A: Manual and mechanical cleaning are viable but have significant limitations. Mechanical cleaning is costly and prone to scratching the glass surface, compromising long-term light transmission. Manual cleaning offers limited effectiveness, inconsistent results, and requires frequent, sustained labor and resource investment.
Q7: What are the product specifications for JinkoSolar's anti-dust modules? Are they the same as Tiger 3?
A: JinkoSolar's self-cleaning dust-repellent modules are scenario-based upgrades based on the Tiger 3 platform. They fully inherit Tiger 3's core technologies and electrical performance, with identical fundamental electrical parameters. Power output ranges from 650-670W, bifaciality reaches 85%, and the temperature coefficient is -0.26%/℃, ensuring reliable and guaranteed performance.
Q8: What are the technical highlights of the self-cleaning glass?
A: This glass enhances self-cleaning capabilities through nanoscale surface structure adjustments. It incorporates anti-static design to reduce dust adhesion at the source. Additionally, it integrates superhydrophilic and photocatalytic functional materials, achieving dual effects: rainwater self-cleaning and sunlight-driven stain decomposition.
Q9: How much additional power can I generate with anti-dust modules?
A: Based on extensive real-world power plant data, compared to conventional modules of the same model, it achieves a 4%–6% power generation gain. In areas with heavy dust and difficult cleaning conditions, the gain effect is even more pronounced, delivering a more hassle-free and higher-yield power generation experience for customers.
Q10: When will it be available for purchase?
A: Orders will open as early as late May this year. Mass production is scheduled to commence by late June, enabling large-scale power plant deliveries.
