Even the series' lower bound (20.63%) exceeds the peer group median, translating into higher energy yield per unit of roof area. - **N-type TOPCon: ~0.4%/yr degradation rate** - N-type TOPCon cells degrade at approximately 0.4% per year - roughly 43% slower than P-type PERC cells (~0.7%/yr). Reduced LID (Light-Induced Degradation) and superior high-temperature performance result in meaningfully higher cumulative energy yield over the full 30-year system lifetime. - **30-year linear power warranty** - Jinko Solar backs the BIPV series with a 30-year linear power warranty, exceeding the industry-standard 25 years offered by most Tier-1 manufacturers. This commitment is underwritten by 11 consecutive PVEL Top Performer certifications and a global deployment base exceeding 300 GW, significantly reducing warranty creditworthiness risk. - **No racking system - lower BoS cost and roof load** - The integrated 2-in-1 design simultaneously replaces conventional roofing and eliminates the PV mounting structure, reducing both BoS costs and dead load on the roof. For large-span logistics and manufacturing facilities with limited structural capacity, this is a decisive advantage over traditional rooftop overlay installations. - **Jinko Solar - BNEF Tier-1 Bankable** - Jinko Solar holds BNEF Tier-1 Bankable status, facilitating project financing and reducing counterparty risk for banks and infrastructure funds. Founded in 2006, Jinko is one of the world's largest PV module manufacturers, with active technical support and after-sales service networks globally. ## Cons - **BIPV price premium over rooftop PV** - BIPV systems typically cost 20-40% more than equivalent rooftop overlay installations (estimated €200-625/m² for BIPV vs. ~€60-120/m² for standard modules), reflecting the dual building-envelope function of the modules. The elevated upfront cost extends LCOE and ROI timelines, which may reduce attractiveness for projects with short financing horizons. - **Higher soft costs and installation complexity** - Installing the Color Steel Tile Roof series requires simultaneous coordination of roofing, electrical, and structural crews. Market analyses indicate that BIPV soft costs (design, permitting, multi-trade coordination) run 12-18% higher than standard rooftop PV systems, adding measurably to total project cost in commercial applications. ## About this series Jinko Solar BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof is an advanced structural solution that replaces traditional roofing with active, energy-generating modules. This series is based on high-efficiency N-type cells, allowing for excellent performance parameters even in low sunlight. The key differentiator is the **integrated 2-in-1 structure**, which combines the insulating and protective functions of the roof with the photovoltaic function, completely eliminating the need for heavy, traditional mounting systems. Consequently, this solution is ideal for buildings with limited structural load capacity, such as large-scale logistics halls or modern manufacturing plants. The product is characterized by **exceptional tightness and resistance to harsh weather conditions**, effectively solving the problem of potential leaks encountered with standard add-on installations. The **TopCon cell technology** used guarantees higher resistance to degradation and significantly better temperature performance compared to competing products. For the investor, this means **maximum utilization of the available roof surface** while simultaneously reducing total building material costs. The Color Steel Tile Roof series distinguishes itself from alternative solutions not only through aesthetics but, above all, through **the highest fire safety**, which is a priority in the commercial sector. This is a comprehensive approach to sustainable architecture that effectively combines the durability of steel with the innovation of photovoltaics. ## Notable figures - At 20.6% efficiency, this panel is 2.2pp above typical \*\*BIPV 0-400W\*\* modules (median: 18.4%) - 206.3 W/m² power density - 21.9 W/m² more than \*\*BIPV 0-400W\*\* median (184.4 W/m²), more power per roof area - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C vs median -0.35%/°C means ~2% less power loss at 65°C - #11136 for efficiency, #2220 for temperature performance out of 14129 panels ## Questions ### How does the Jinko Solar BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof differ from a standard rooftop PV installation? The BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof series is a 2-in-1 integrated structure - the modules replace the conventional roofing material while simultaneously providing insulation, weather protection, and power generation. Unlike conventional add-on PV systems, no heavy racking hardware is required, which reduces the structural load on the building and eliminates the leak risk associated with penetration-based mounting systems. ### Is the Jinko BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof suitable for logistics halls and industrial buildings with limited load-bearing capacity? Yes, that is one of the primary use cases for this series. The absence of heavy steel mounting substructures significantly reduces the total roof load, making it ideal for large-footprint industrial and logistics buildings with constrained structural capacity. Because the modules replace the conventional roofing tiles, no extra dead load is added beyond what any standard roof covering would require. ### What is the power output warranty for the Jinko Solar BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof series? Jinko Solar provides a 30-year linear power output warranty on this series. As a Tier 1 manufacturer, Jinko's financial stability makes the warranty realistically enforceable over decades. The peak module power is 380 Wp, and the N-type TOPCon cell technology delivers a lower annual degradation rate compared to legacy PERC-based products. ### Is the Jinko BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof a bifacial module and what does that mean for energy yield? Yes, the series is bifacial - the cells generate power from both direct front-side irradiance and reflected or diffuse rear-side irradiance. The actual bifacial gain on a rooftop application depends on the albedo of the surface below and the tilt angle, but the bifacial N-type TOPCon combination improves low-light and overcast performance compared to standard mono-facial modules. ### What fire safety classification do Jinko BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof installations achieve? The Color Steel Tile Roof series is designed to meet the highest fire safety requirements, a critical factor in commercial and industrial sectors. The modules comply with IEC 61730 safety qualification standards, and the steel tile core adds inherent fire resistance on top of the PV laminate. This gives it a structural fire safety advantage over lighter BIPV systems based solely on flexible films or laminates. ### Does installing the Jinko BIPV Color Steel Tile Roof require specialized crews and does it actually reduce construction costs? Installation requires a crew experienced in both roofing and photovoltaics, as the modules serve as the roofing layer itself. The key financial benefit is that the cost of conventional steel tiles is offset against the price of the BIPV modules - the investor effectively pays only the delta, not the full PV system cost. Eliminating the separate mounting substructure further reduces BoS material and labor costs compared to a conventional add-on PV installation. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/jkbs360-380n-48hl4-bdv-cn-d7-new-1-b98d98912386.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [PolyCrown Solar Tech NS-330MH-80](https://comparepv.com/panel/polycrown-solar-tech-ns-330mh-80) | 330 W | Lighter, +2.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M320W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m320w) | 320 W | -40 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M340W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m340w) | 340 W | -20 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M360W](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m360w) | 360 W | Lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/4\*4\*38)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-4-4-38) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/2\*4\*20)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-2-4-20) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M400W (1/4\*4\*40)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m400w-1-4-4-40) | 400 W | +40 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Gamko New Energy GKA210M380W (1/2\*4\*19)](https://comparepv.com/panel/gamko-new-energy-gka210m380w-1-2-4-19) | 380 W | +20 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX3-400-COM](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max3-400-com) | 400 W | +40 W, +2.0 pp, +10 yr warranty | | [Jinko Solar JKBS365N-48HL4-BDV](https://comparepv.com/panel/jkbs365n-48hl4-bdv) | 365 W | +0.3 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKBS370N-48HL4-BDV](https://comparepv.com/panel/jkbs370n-48hl4-bdv) | 370 W | +10 W, +0.6 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKBS375N-48HL4-BDV](https://comparepv.com/panel/jkbs375n-48hl4-bdv) | 375 W | +15 W, +0.9 pp | | [Jinko Solar JKBS380N-48HL4-BDV](https://comparepv.com/panel/jkbs380n-48hl4-bdv) | 380 W | +20 W, +1.2 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/jkbs360n-48hl4-bdv Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
