About product

Among the newest offerings of Canadian Solar, CS3N MS is part of the HiKuBlack series. These panels use state-of-the-art technology to achieve high efficiency and dependability. The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight. 

The use of half-cut cell technology is an additional perk. The solar cells of CS3N MS are half the size of those found in standard panels. Major advantages include reduced power consumption, extended life and enhanced efficiency in low-light conditions. Not surprisingly, the efficiency of this module is quite high – 18.9%. The innovations made the appearance of the panel as impressive as the specs. A mere 1.38" thick, this model is completely black with a smooth surface. This beauty doesn’t compromise the quality or reliability of the panel. Canadian Solar provides an industry-leading 25-year performance warranty and a 25-year product warranty. 

  • 385 W power output
  • 132 half-cut PERC cells
  • 18.9% efficiency
  • 1000 V DC maximum system voltage
  • MC4 connectors
  • 25-year product and 25-year performance warranties


High efficiency of 18.9%

Canadian Solar HiKuBlack panels fully use the firm's innovations, which Canadian Solar has received several distinctions for. With PERC technology, more electricity can be produced per square foot of PV modules. As a result, there will be less clamps and racks required during installation. All of which lowers your overall expenses and accelerates the payback period.

Improved efficiency at high temperatures

Greater energy as temperature rises is a mark of a good temperature coefficient. Your panel's efficiency will drop by just 0.34% for every 1.8°F increase over 77°F.

Quality and reliability

CS3N MS undergoes various quality checks during the production process and is subjected to serious quality and reliability testing. Manufacturing facilities are highly automated, removing the possibility of human errors. Canadian Solar is committed to quality, safety, and dependability to ensure you get the finest.

Low degradation for a longer lifespan

These panels will lose no more than 2% of their power output in the first year of service. From the 2nd year to the 25th year, the average annual power decline will be no more than 0.55%. The module retains over 84.8% of its original output after 25 years. Guaranteed by Canadian Solar.

A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow

The 1.38" frame made from anodized aluminum and a layer of protective tempered glass make this module resistant to the foulest of weather. The front side of the modules can resist a 5400 Pa load, and the back side 2400 Pa.

Stunning black aesthetics

The sleek, all-black aesthetics of the panel will complement any rooftop. By using a variety of treatments and selection criteria, the producer guarantees high quality cell color. Engineers at Canadian Solar employ smaller gauge wires to link the cells together, creating a seamless appearance.

The model of the panel is not that important when choosing an inverter. What matters more is the type and size of your system. We have written a number of beginner-level articles. Click "Magazine" at the very top of our website. We have an entire compilation dedicated to PV system design.
I’m looking at the CS 385w in Orlando, FL. If I pick them up in Orlando, can I get just 2. P.S. I would prefer some 400watt panels if I can get them in Orlando. Thx!

You can order a single panel and use our pickup option to receive it. However, this doesn't apply to our wholesale section - here we sell solar panels by the pallet. To find and order this very panel, please leave the wholesale section by clicking "Solar panels" at the very top of this page.
Are these panels 24v?

FAQ

How much is shipping and how long is delivery?
Our standard shipping charge is $250 for up to 11 panels and it is increased by $25 for every 4 additional panels. In the event, the product is only available on East or West coast custom quote will be sent to you before the order is processed. Normally, we are able to deliver solar panels within 7 business days.
What is the difference between low price panels and top price panels?
With top tier solar panels, you pay for the brand name, proprietary new technology, higher energy output, and better warranty support.
What are the dimensions of the panel?
Please refer to the product datasheet on the product page. We have a datasheet for every product we sell.
How long is the warranty on the panel?
In general, manufacturers provide a 25 year-long performance warranty and a 10 year-long equipment guarantee. Some manufacturers offer 12-15 years of warranty. More information is available in our warranty support section.
Which panels do you recommend for RV, marine?
We recommend Panasonic and Mission Solar panels for smaller systems as their high energy output and excellent craftsmanship guarantee years of service.
Can this panel be used with a 12v system?
Any of our panels can be used for a 12v system with a properly selected inverter and charge controller.
Can I pick up this panel from your fulfillment center to save on shipping?
Yes, we can set up a pick up at a local distributor. Please call to discuss options and stock availability.
How do I connect these panels?
To achieve the best system efficiency, panels should be connected in series to create higher voltage.
How many panels do I need?
This number is determined by your average energy needs. Depending on the type of panels and energy consumption, you might need anywhere from 12 to 45 solar panels. Remember, the more panels you install the more energy you will get.Please use our solar calculator to estimate your energy consumption and plan on building a solar system that will exceed your energy needs by 25%.
Do you offer discounts?
We do offer discounts for orders of over 50 units. Please contact us for details.
How do I build a solar system?
Please use our solar calculator to estimate what equipment you need. Choose your panels, microinverters, inverters, and solar batteries if necessary.Please note that we do not offer solar system design or installation.
How do solar panels compare?
Solar panels differ by power output, voltage, connection type, size, efficiency, and weight. Some solar panels might be sold together with microinverters as a set.
Can I build a solar system by myself as a Do It Yourself project?
Yes, it is possible if you understand what solar equipment you need and how to connect it together. However, please be mindful that handling your own electrical work without having proper experience might cause life-threatening injuries. Please contact a certified electrician if you do not possess appropriate electrical skills.
Can I connect and charge my solar panel battery directly with the solar panel?
We do not recommend using the solar panel without the charge controller. Using solar panels without the charge controller might damage the batteries.
Can I drill holes into the aluminum frame for mounting?
We do not recommend drilling any new holes to the aluminum frame of the panel as it could damage the internal circuit and solar cells. (Also, any modification to the panel will void the warranty). We recommend only using the pre-drilled holes for mounting.
Do solar panels require maintenance? Can I wash my solar panel?
Solar panels generally require very little maintenance. We recommend cleaning the solar panel with water, glass cleaner (Windex) and microfiber cloth.
Will my panel produce power in an overcast condition?
While solar panels require sunlight to generate solar energy, they will still work in cloudy weather. Even on a cloudy day, solar panels will produce energy just not as much.
Will my panels produce power if covered with snow?
Solar panels cannot produce electricity if covered with snow.
What is the best direction for a solar panel to face?
The best direction for a solar panel to face is the South
