Canadian Solar Photovoltaic Panel Specifications: Key Parameters Demystified

Canadian Solar's photovoltaic panels typically range from 1.7m to 2.2m in length and 1.0m to 1.3m in width, with variations across product lines. The HiKu series, for instance, measures 2,172mm × 1,303mm × 35mm – dimensions that could make your backyard shed jealous of its sleek profile. Let's break down the key parameter

Canadian Solar Photovoltaic Panel Specifications: Key Parameters Demystified

Understanding Solar Panel Dimensions

Canadian Solar's photovoltaic panels typically range from 1.7m to 2.2m in length and 1.0m to 1.3m in width, with variations across product lines. The HiKu series, for instance, measures 2,172mm × 1,303mm × 35mm – dimensions that could make your backyard shed jealous of its sleek profile. Let's break down the key parameters:

  • Cell Configuration: 144 half-cut cells (72 full cells split)
  • Frame Thickness: 35-40mm aluminum alloy
  • Weight: 22.5-27.5kg range across models

Power Output vs Physical Size

The CS6R-MS model packs 410W output in a 2,094mm × 1,032mm frame – that's like fitting a small power plant into an area smaller than two parking spaces. Recent industry trends show 20% size reduction compared to 2018 models while increasing wattage by 15%.

Decoding the Technical Diagram

A typical Canadian Solar spec sheet resembles a nutrition label for sunlight enthusiasts. Here's what really matters:

  • Temperature Coefficient: -0.34%/°C (better than most smartphones' battery performance in cold weather)
  • NOCT: 42°C ± 2°C (Nominal Operating Cell Temperature)
  • Tolerance Range: 0/+5W (meaning you might get bonus watts – solar's version of a baker's dozen)

Installation Requirements

Each panel needs about 1.2-1.5m² of roof space per 100W. The BiHiKu bifacial series adds 10-30% rear-side generation – essentially making your rooftop work double shifts without overtime pay.

Performance Under Real Conditions

Field tests in Arizona's Sonoran Desert showed Canadian Solar panels maintaining 98.5% efficiency after 5 years – that's more consistent than most coffee shop baristas. Key durability specs include:

  • 5400Pa snow load rating (enough for polar bears to host a convention)
  • 2400Pa wind load resistance (bring on the hurricane party)
  • 25-year linear power warranty

New anti-PID technology prevents performance degradation better than sunscreen at high noon. The latest ES5 series even incorporates microinverter compatibility – think of it as giving each panel its personal trainer for maximum energy output.

Comparative Analysis

When stacked against competitors, Canadian Solar panels offer 3-5% better space efficiency than standard models. Their 21.4% module conversion rate makes sunlight work harder than a grad student during finals week.
