Description
Overview
The Jinko 345W Cheetah Mono PERC Solar Panel (JKM345M-72H) is a legacy panel from Jinko’s earlier Cheetah series. While not the latest technology, it remains a solid choice for buyers who need the lowest possible per-panel cost from a Tier-1 manufacturer — or who need a replacement panel for an existing system that uses 345W Jinko panels.
At KSh 6,900, the 345W Cheetah is the most affordable genuine Jinko panel available in Kenya. It delivers 17.8% module efficiency, a 25-year performance warranty, and the same Tier-1 bankability and PVEL reliability that Jinko is known for.
