Canadian Solar 455W Monofacial TopCon HiKU6 72 Cell Black Frame MC4 Solar Panel
Canadian Solar 455W Monofacial TopCon HiKU6 72 Cell Black Frame MC4 Solar Panel
The Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 455 W is a TOPCon solar panel. TOPCon cells add a passivated contact layer behind the silicon, cutting the recombination losses that limit older PERC modules. It delivers 22.8 % module efficiency from a 1,762 × 1,134 mm frame.
About the Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 range
TOPBiHiKu6 is Canadian Solar's bifacial TOPCon module, glass-glass front and back so the rear face contributes generation from reflected light.
At 1,762 × 1,134 mm it is a residential-format module, sized to fit the rafter spans and roof planes of a standard UK house.
Why installers specify this panel
- −0.29 %/°C power temperature coefficient — output falls away more slowly as the modules heat up through the middle of the day.
- All-black appearance — a black anodised frame and dark cells, for domestic roofs where the array has to be discreet.
- 0 to +10 W power tolerance — every module is sorted to meet or beat its 455 W nameplate rating.
