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.

  • 156 half-cut PERC cells
  • 20.1% efficiency
  • 1000/1500 V DC maximum system voltage
  • T4 series or H4 UTX or MC4-EVO2 connectors
  • 12-year product and 30-year performance warranties

High efficiency of 20.1 percent

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.

Heat-resistant performance

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.

Quality and reliability

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.

Reliability and degradation resistance

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.

A panel that can handle hail, wind and snow

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.

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
