The Chinese manufacturer said that the new bifacial module has a thicker 35 mm frame and 2.5 mm fully tempered glass on both sides. It has a power conversion -efficiency of 23.3% and a temperature coefficient of -0.29%/C.
The Chinese-Canadian solar module manufacturer Canadian solar sun has unveiled a new bifacial topcon-sun panel with anti-Hail technology.
‘The new Module is part of our CS6.2 series using 182 mm Pro cells, ”said a company spokesperson told PV -Magazine. “The anti-Hail variant is designed for sites that are susceptible to hailstorm or asset owners who are concerned about rising insurance premiums, aimed at reducing R&M costs.”
The Topbihiku6-Anti-Hail has a thicker frame of 35 mm and 2.5 mm fully tempered glass on both sides. ‘Although the thickness of the thickness may seem low, the extra 0.5 mm ensures full patting, which improves the hail resistance considerably, “the spokesperson emphasized.” The thicker frame improves the mechanical strength and makes it more suitable for areas with a high resistance. “
According to the manufacturer, a series of non -specific tests has shown that the new product Can be resistant to a maximum of 55 mm of ice balls In accordance with the IEC 61215 standards.
The module has 132 half-squeezed cells and is available in seven versions, with nominal power ranging from 600 W to 630 W and a power conversion efficiency to 23.3%. The open circuit voltage varies from 45.1 V to 46.2 V and the short-circuit current is 12.77 A to 13.05 A. The bifaciality factor can reach up to 85%.
The IP68-rated double glass panel measures 2.382 mm x 1.134 mm x 35 mm and weighs 40.6 kg. It can work with a system voltage of 1500 V and in temperatures ranging between -40 C and 85 C. The temperature coefficient is -0.29% per C.
The PV panel comes with a 12-year product guarantee and a 30-year-old power output warranty. The annual linear relegation for 30 years is 0.4%, while the demolition in the first year is covered at 1.0%.
The new product is currently being used in a solar-plus storage project on utility scale in development through the power power of the Australian subsidiary and energy supplier in the Coonawarra Wine Region, Australia. “This project will be the first of many locations where Canadian solar and flow capacity work together to install the anti-Hail technology of the company throughout the country,” Canadian Solar said in a statement.
