The new modules deliver up to 670 W with a 90% bifaciality factor, yielding a 1.4% LCOE reduction for utility-scale and commercial projects, said the company.
Canadian Solar Inc. has introduced its next-generation TOPCon 3.0 high-power-density photovoltaic module series designed for utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications.
The products utilize a multi-cut technology based on large-format rectangular cells and enhanced light utilization, packing higher power density into a standard footprint of 2382 mm × 1134 mm × 30 mm.
The new series achieves a maximum power output of 670 W and a conversion efficiency reaching 24.8%. Cell poly-patterned technology and an optimized back-side configuration boost the bifaciality factor to 90%, which the manufacturer reports will deliver a 0.4% to 0.5% system-level energy gain.
“With the launch of our TOPCon 3.0 module, we continue to advance high-efficiency PV technology, delivering up to 1.6% higher energy yield and up to 1.4% lower LCOE,” said Shawn Qu, Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Canadian Solar, in a statement. “This translates into stronger lifecycle value and more predictable long-term returns for our global partners.”
