About product

455MB-AGP is part of the BiHiKu Series — one of the most recent made by Canadian Solar. These panels employ cutting-edge technologies to achieve superior efficiency and reliability. The Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology ensures excellent power output. This solar cell type employs an additional reflective layer to absorb more sunlight.

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 CS3W-455MB-AGP two times smaller than the standard size, thus reducing power loss and improving low-light behavior. The efficiency of this model reaches 20.4% — well above the market’s average. And while conventional panels use only one side to absorb photons, bifacial modules employ both sides at the same time. Thanks to the technology, this model can be up to 30% more efficient. Canadian Solar offers 12 years of product warranty and guarantees 84.95% of original performance after 30 years of operation.

  • 455 W power output
  • 144 half-cut PERC cells
  • 20.4% efficiency
  • 1000 V DC maximum system voltage
  • T4 / MC4-EVO2 connectors
  • 12-year product and 30-year performance warranties

High efficiency of 20.4%

Canadian Solar Canadian Solar panels have a high efficiency of 20.4 percent and take full advantage of the company's technologies, which have won Canadian Solar several honors. This PERC option produces more electricity per square foot of PV modules. This translates to shorter installation times and fewer clamps and racks. All of this lowers your overall expenditures and shortens 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

CS3W-455MB-AGP 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 increased lifespan

The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 2%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 30th year will not surpass 0.45%. After 30 years, the module will still produce more than 84.95% of its initial output.

Improved frame design

CS3W-455MB-AGP design makes it suitable for both residential and business rooftops. The use of a strong 1.2" 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 3600 Pa, guaranteeing that your system will resist even the fiercest winds.

A1 is great! They are very helpful, knowledgeable and fast. They take pride in their work, and they package the panels for safe delivery.These panels are absolutely great. They actually produce the rated 455W and more on colder days. I am so glad I bought them on A1's recommendation. Thank A1.

Please advise what 1500vdc means. Does this mean you can’t attach more than 3 panels in series?

It's the maximum system voltage that must not be exceeded. You can connect way more than three panels in series.
I want a system independent of power station in case of shortages . I do not have inverter .I do not pay tax do that discount is irrelevant . How much it would cost material and installation in Venice Fl. For one family home? I do not need to cover all but most urgent things during storms.

The average price of an off-grid system is around $30K. Considering that you want your setup to cover only the most urgent things, it could be significantly lower, probably about $10K to $15K. You can give us a call to get the details.
Is this a 144 half cell panel, or a 72 full cell panel?

This panel consists of 144 half-cut cells.

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
