About product

CS3N-395MS is part of the HiKuBlack Series — one of the most recent made by Canadian Solar. These panels employ cutting-edge technologies to achieve superior efficiency and reliability. This panel takes full advantage of the Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology that allows it to capture up to 12% more energy. All thanks to a reflective layer on the back. This design maximizes the number of photons absorbed by solar cells.

Half-cut cell technology adds a few more percent to the overall performance, making this model a great example of efficiency. Canadian Solar made solar cells in CS3N-395MS two times smaller than the standard size, thus reducing power loss and improving low-light behavior. At 19.7% efficiency, CS3N-395MS offers surprising performance for its weight and size. Cell surface, back foil and frame are completely black, giving the model unrivaled aesthetics. Canadian Solar provides an industry-leading 25-year performance warranty and a 25-year product warranty.

Outstanding productivity integrating the newest advances

This panel's manufacturer offers power output of 395 W at 19.7 percent efficiency. High energy production levels are attained by utilizing the most recent developments in the solar sector. A more productive panel produces more per square foot and pays for itself more quickly.

Better performance at high temperatures

Excellent temperature coefficient means more energy as temperature rises. Every 1.8°F hike above 77°F will decrease your panel’s efficiency by only 0.26%.

High quality standards

Canadian Solar strict manufacturing standards include multiple tests to provide extreme quality assurance. The facilities are highly automated, allowing the company to maintain high standards and keep the level of warranty claims very low.

Reliability and degradation resistance

Slow degradation over the next 25 years is guaranteed by Canadian Solar. The performance will decrease no more than 2% during the first year and 0.25% annually thereafter. Your modules will retain at least 84.8% of original performance after the 25 years are over. This 395 W Canadian Solar solar panel also comes with a generous 25-year product warranty.

Improved frame design

CS3N-395MS design makes it suitable for both residential and business rooftops. The use of a strong 1.38" frame composed of anodized aluminum boosts durability and strength. The model can withstand a significant snow load of up to 5400 Pa. The panel's back can withstand 2400 Pa, guaranteeing that your system will resist even the fiercest winds.

Outstanding all-black design

The panel features all-black design which looks great on any roof. The manufacturer ensures excellent cell color by special treatment and selection processes. Canadian Solar engineers use thinner wires to connect the cells together, and at a distance the surface of the modules appears smooth and uninterrupted.

They should certainly be compatible. If your battery is 12 V, for example, you may need as little as one day to fully charge it.

how to install a 4 panel system in my 48Volt battery set-up. Discription on individual panel indicates a 49.09 volt panel. I'm thinking a parallel wiring set-up on the panels
