Canadian Solar CS6.1-54TM-455 455Watt 108 Half-Cell All Black Solar Panel

Canadian Solar 455W TOPHiKu6 All-Black (CS6.1-54TM-455)

High-density N-type power for the modern rooftop. The CS6.1-54TM-455 utilizes elite N-type TOPCon technology to deliver a massive 22.3% efficiency. Engineered to produce 20.7W per square foot, it is the premier choice for maximizing energy yield on limited roof surfaces while maintaining a sleek, all-black aesthetic.

• Next-Gen N-Type TOPCon: Virtually immune to Light-Induced Degradation (LID), the TOPHiKu6 architecture ensures "Zero LID" performance. This provides a significantly higher cumulative energy yield over the system’s life compared to standard P-type monocrystalline modules.
• High-Heat Optimization: Leveraging 20+ years of manufacturing leadership, this panel features an industry-leading -0.29%/°C temperature coefficient. It generates more power during peak summer hours, outperforming competitors that throttle output in high-heat environments.
• Extreme Load Resilience: Built for North American extremes, it is certified for an 8100 Pa snow load and 6000 Pa wind load. Tested to 3X IEC standards, it offers a bankable, "install-and-forget" solution for heavy snow and high-velocity hurricane regions.
• 30-Year Performance Security: Backed by a 30-year linear power warranty, 5 years longer than the industry standard. With a guaranteed 87.4% capacity at year 30, it ensures a lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and long-term project bankability.

  Power (measured in watts) and efficiency (how well panels convert sunlight to electricity) are some of the most common metrics used to compare solar panel products. While they are not the only means of comparison, they are important determinants in how much electricity you can produce with a solar panel system. Metrics like power tolerance and temperature coefficient are also important ways to analyze the potential performance of solar panels under the different conditions they will experience over their lifetime. Learn how panels from different manufacturers stack up against one another in our updated article about the best solar panels on the market.
