Canadian Solar HiKu

Canadian Solar has long relied on half cut cell technology. Half-cut cells produce more electricity than conventional solar panels. They are also stronger and last longer.

Half cut panels are suitable for all roofs. Thanks to the double module design, HiKu 6 and BiHiKu 6 panels produce electricity in early spring, when the snow has melted from the top of the panel. Canadian Solar panels are available for both single-family homes and larger projects.

The half-cut cells (or dual cells) used in the new Canadian Solar solar panels are the latest technological advance in solar panel development.

Half-cut cells are solar cells cut in half using special laser technology.

Half-cut cells produce only half the electrical current of a conventional solar cell, resulting in a solar panel that produces less waste heat and more electricity.

In addition to better performance, half-cut cells also have another significant advantage over conventional solar cells, namely durability. Thanks to their smaller size, half-cut cells are stronger and less prone to micro-cracks and fractures.

Solar panels with half-cut cells therefore produce electricity for longer while maintaining their excellent efficiency. This is also reflected in the 25-year linear yield guarantee promised by Canadian Solar for its KuPower solar panels.

Canadian Solar HiKu solar panels are manufactured using a special dual module design that allows the solar panel to perform better in the shade.

A traditional single-module solar panel, mounted vertically on the roof as usual, stops producing electricity completely when the lower part of the panel is in the shade.

Thanks to the unique dual-module design of the HiKu half-cut panel, only the lower half of the panel stops producing electricity. This feature is particularly useful each spring when snow has slid in to shade the lower part of the panel.

Canadian Solarin HiKu solar panels are durable and their efficiency remains high for a long time. The manufacturer guarantees its products:

• 12-year material and workmanship warranty.
• 25-year linear yield guarantee.
