JA-SOLAR-565W or Jinko 440W Tiger Neo N-Type

godskitchen

Hello all,

We are just about to get the final part of our solar project and were set on the Jinko 440W Tiger Neo N-Type from MidlandBatteries.ie

I have now seen that SolarBoss do the JA-Solar 565W for around €200-€250 more for 10 panels

We would love the extra capacity but just wondering if anyone has experience with the JA-Solar panels?

Thanks

They are commercial panels, so the sizing is considerably different and the mounting requirements may then differ from what you're planning. If it works for you then no issue there.

It is worth checking if you have physical space to mount them. Larger capacity will naturally increase the physical size. I'm inclined to say pick ones that allow you to optimise mounting as many as you can from the roof area you have rather than just looking at capacity size.

..and check voltage to ensure your inverter can handle them

Thanks all.

I should have mentioned, we are ground mounting, so space is not an issue.

I will double check the voltages though, thanks for the heads up on that

Inverter is a Sunsynk 5Kw Ecco

If space isn't an issue then I'd just max out the inverter. Any clipping will be minimal and well worth it on the imperfect days.

Inverter specs (SUN-5K-SG04LP1-EU) say 6.5Kw Max DC input so that's 14 440W or 11 565W panels. Whichever is cheaper for you and easier to install (even numbers a bit simpler on ground mounts), voltages should be OK if you have the 2 strings divided correctly, that's only at a brief glance though so definitely take a minute to calculate it out before ordering anything to double check.

The only thing that counts is what has the lowest cost per kwp installed.

Thought VOC was the limiting factor and not the inverter DC Max input ?

All of the Inverter/MPPT 'Maximums' (W,V,A) have to be considered when designing a system.
