Jinko Solar 555W Monofacial Solar Panel

Product Category: Solar Energy → Solar Panels Brand: Jinko Solar Rated Power: 555W Panel Type: Monofacial Monocrystalline Solar Module Model Reference: JKM555M-72HL4 series

Product Overview

The Jinko Solar 555W Monofacial Solar Panel is a high-output photovoltaic module designed to convert sunlight into electricity for residential, commercial and industrial solar installations. Its monocrystalline cells deliver substantial power from a single panel, helping reduce the number of modules required for a given system capacity.

Suitable for solar home systems, hybrid inverter installations, commercial rooftops and ground-mounted solar arrays, this panel can be combined with compatible inverters, charge controllers and battery storage systems.

Jinko's official datasheet for the JKM535–555M-72HL4 series lists a rated output of 555W, approximately 21.48% module efficiency and a 144-cell configuration. Confirm the exact model number printed on the panel because Jinko also produces variants with different electrical and mechanical specifications.

Example System Sizing

Each panel contributes 555W of rated DC capacity under Standard Test Conditions (STC).

| Number of Panels | Total Rated Capacity |

| ---------------- | -------------------- |

| 2 panels         | 1.11kWp              |

| 4 panels         | 2.22kWp              |

| 6 panels         | 3.33kWp              |

| 8 panels         | 4.44kWp              |

| 10 panels        | 5.55kWp              |

| 12 panels        | 6.66kWp              |

Actual energy production depends on sunlight, panel orientation, shading, temperature, system losses and installation quality. These capacity figures do not represent guaranteed daily energy output.

nstallation Recommendations

* Confirm the inverter's MPPT operating-voltage range and maximum PV input current before connecting the panels.

* Calculate the cold-weather open-circuit voltage of series-connected panels to ensure it remains below the inverter's maximum DC voltage.

* Use appropriately rated PV cables, connectors, isolators and overcurrent protection.

* Provide secure mounting and suitable ventilation beneath the modules.

* Avoid shading, as it can reduce array performance.

* Have the system installed and commissioned by a qualified solar technician.

 Frequently Asked Questions

1\. Is the Jinko 555W panel monofacial or bifacial?

The JKM555M-72HL4 reference model is monofacial. Check the exact model number because Jinko also offers bifacial modules in similar wattage ranges.

2\. Can I use this panel with a 5kVA hybrid inverter?

Potentially, yes. Compatibility depends on the inverter's PV voltage range, maximum input current, maximum PV power and permitted array configuration. The inverter's kVA rating alone does not determine compatibility.

3\. How many panels are needed for a 5kW solar array?

Ten panels provide 5.55kWp of rated DC capacity. The final quantity should be selected according to the inverter's PV limits and the system's energy requirements.

4\. Does one panel produce 555W continuously?

No. The 555W rating is measured under standard laboratory test conditions. Actual output varies with sunlight intensity, panel temperature, shading and other operating conditions.

5\. Can the panel charge a lithium battery?

Yes, through a compatible solar inverter or MPPT charge controller designed for the battery's voltage and charging requirements.

6\. What warranty does the panel carry?

Warranty terms depend on the exact model, market, supplier and proof of purchase. Confirm the applicable product warranty and performance warranty with the authorised supplier before publishing a specific warranty duration.
