Jinko

Ground frame for 5 Jinko Tiger Neo 3.0 JKM720N-66HL5-BDV panels (1×5)

1 row of 5 panels, 3.60 kW. The Solispec engine chose the profiles, the frame pitch and the footings for three snow and wind zones: Kherson has the lowest load of the regional centres, Cherkasy the median, Chernihiv the highest.

Three snow and wind zones

The same table designed for three regional centres: with the lowest, the median and the highest combined snow and wind load under DBN V.1.2-2:2006. For another site, open the frame in the builder.

Checks and cautions

Member utilisation as the engine computes it. Cautions are checks that pass, but with a small margin.

  • Max. frame pitch, mmThe purlins between the frames are used above 80 % (strength or deflection): the structure passes, but the margin is small. A shorter frame pitch or a deeper purlin gives more margin.Cherkasy: Frame spacing 2 040 mm, 4 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 90%, deflection 72% of L/200 (snow on panel 977 Pa).Chernihiv: Frame spacing 2 040 mm, 4 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 97%, deflection 77% of L/200 (snow on panel 1 106 Pa).

The engine's estimate has 23 lines; the full list is in the builder. Prices are the typical market prices built into the Solispec engine, as of 06.10.2026; no margin, no VAT.

Yield

Yield: 1,139 kWh per 1 kW a year, ≈ 4,100 kWh a year in total (median zone, Cherkasy; tilt 30°, the optimum for the latitude is 35.3°).

A preliminary calculation; a design needs an engineer's check. Snow and wind per DBN V.1.2-2:2006 for the regional centre; profiles, footings and estimate by the Solispec engine 0.12.0.
