About product

Canadian Solar CS6K-305MS 305W Module

Canadian Solar's newest 60 cell Mono-PERC SuperPower CS6K-305MS module has a power output of 305W and a 5 bus bar cell design. The Mono-PERC cells in this module, significantly improve efficiency and reliability. PERC stands for Passivated Emitter Rear Contact. This refers to the dielectric layer on the back of a PERC solar cell which helps to reflect light that passes through the cell and then back into the cell to generate more electrons. This process is also known as backside passivation. The new technology also offers superior low irradiance performance in the morning, evening and even on cloudy days, increasing the energy output of the panel and the overall yield of the solar system.

Higher Efficiency 18.63%

Great power output and greater energy yields. Produces 11% more power than conventional modules. Excellent performance at low irradiance of up to 97.5%.

High Efficiency at High Temperatures

This module features a lower temperature coefficient improving the module's per watt actual power output compared to standard mono solar panels, reducing Light Induced Degradation (LID) by over 30%. Also, the module provides a high energy yield at low NOCT = 45°C.

Quality and Reliability

Canadian Solar’s many tests guarantee extreme quality assurance. This module received 359 Quality Control Points.

Electroluminescence testing: A 100% EL screen test to eliminate cell or module defects
Testing and analysis: Performance reliability, mechanical and chemical tests of raw materials and components
Machine testing: Advanced automatic equipment in testing and manufacturing process
Lab testing: The first module manufacturer-owned photovoltaic reliability testing laboratory to meet ISO/IEC 17025 standards
Cleaning: 100% module visual inspection and clean before packing
Increased System Reliability

Low Degradation

Low 0.7% annual degradation rate after an initial first-year degradation of 3% that results in a performance guarantee no less than 80% of the nominated power by year 25.

Enhanced Frame Design

Strong 35mm robust frame increases durability and strength and being able to hold a heavy snow load up to 6000 Pa and wind load up to 4000 Pa. Added ammonia, salt mist and blowing sand resistance makes this module an excellent choice for installations at seaside, farms and desert environments.

10 Year Product and 25 Year Performance Warranty

This module comes with a 10 year product warranty on materials and workmanship and a 25-year performance warranty.
