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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
