Canadian Solar 460W Solar Panel

The Canadian Solar 460W Solar Panel (CS6L-460MS) is a Mono PERC panel converting 21.3% of the light that falls on it. The size most residential arrays are built from at the moment - a sensible balance between what a roof will hold and what it costs to mount.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 460 W at Standard Test Conditions - Power tolerance 0 ~ +10 W, and 41 °C nominal operating cell temperature. Panels are measured at 1000 W/m² and 25 °C, which a roof in Gauteng sees on a cool clear morning and not much else - plan on somewhat less through the middle of a hot day.
• 120 Cells - 120 [2 x (10 x 6)].
• Open-Circuit 41.4 V, Short-Circuit 14 A - At maximum power it sits at 34.8 V and 13.24 A. These four figures are what decide how many panels may go in a string and how many strings an MPPT input will take - a string designed without them is a guess.
• -0.34%/°C Temperature Coefficient - How much output is lost for every degree the cell rises above 25 °C. It is the figure that separates a panel that holds up on a hot afternoon from one that does not.
• 1500 V Maximum System Voltage - The ceiling for a whole string added together on the coldest morning, with a 25 A series fuse rating. Going over it is what damages an inverter input.
• Size and Weight - 1903 × 1134 × 30 mm, 24.2 kg. Worth measuring the roof against before ordering - the number of panels that fit is as often decided by the shape of the roof as by the size of the system.
• Also Worth Knowing - Mono PERC, monofacial, 3.2mm tempered AR glass, T6 / MC4 / MC4-EVO2 connector, J-box IP68 3 diodes, black frame on request.
