About product
Canadian Solar CS3Y-475MB-AG is a PV module fit for both residential and commercial applications. Canadian Solar engineers made the BiHiKu5 Mono series durable and efficient while minimizing the amount of useful space required for their operation. 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 CS3Y-475MB-AG two times smaller than the standard size, thus reducing power loss and improving low-light behavior. Not surprisingly, the efficiency of this module is quite high – 20.1%. 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 provides a 12-year product warranty. Stable power output is also guaranteed — performance warranty will protect you during 30 years.
Canadian Solar BiHiKu5 Mono 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.
This module makes the heat less dangerous since it has one of the lowest temperature coefficients in the market, losing just -0.35% of efficiency for every 1.8°F over 77°F.
CS3Y-475MB-AG receives multiple quality checks throughout the manufacturing process and is subject to stringent quality and reliability testing. The manufacturing facilities are highly automated, eliminating the risk of human error. Canadian Solar is dedicated to quality, safety and reliability to ensure you get the very best.
Canadian Solar guarantees slow deterioration over the next 30 years. The performance will decline by no more than 2% during the first year and then by no more than 0.45% every year after that. After the 30 years are over, your modules will retain at least 84.95% of their original performance. This 475 W Canadian Solar solar panel also comes with a substantial 12-year product warranty.
The 1.26" 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.
