India’s first 600 + Watt solar modules were introduced by the globally renowned brand Canadian Solar, under the label Hiku7. The company launched the HiKu7 Mono PERC solar panels series in 2020, with a maximum power output of 615 Wp

The major attraction of these solar modules is their efficiency. The efficiency of HiKu7 is around 21.7%.

If the efficiency of the solar panels is higher, it means less space is required.

For Example: If one needs to set up a 5KW solar power plant and the solar developer is going with 415-watt panels then 13 solar modules would be required for this project. But if HiKu7 600 watts is used then only 8 panels are needed.

This quantity difference (less number of solar panels used) of solar panels will help to bring down the cost of the solar project.

Less solar panels = less space, easy logistics, and a faster installation process.

• The wafer size has been expanded from the original 125 mm(5 inches) to 210 MM. With this modification, the efficiency of the HiKu7 cell increases, and the per-watt BOS cost of the system goes down.
• The patented bifacial PERC solar cell technology simultaneously increases both the cell and module nominal power.
• Canadian Solar’s Hetero type Ribbon (HTR) improves light absorption & the “Multi-Busbar” (MBB) cell technology increases the optical utilization of the cell by reducing the shading of the front of the cell and the light reflection and refraction from the specially shaped solder ribbon.
• Half-cut cell technology in HiKu7 increases the panel performance by reducing the current through each busbar and consequently reducing the internal energy losses.
• Strict quality control of the raw material and advanced cell manufacturing technology; Canadian Solar applies CSAR technology (Canadian Solar Advanced Regeneration) to reduce LeTID (Light and Elevated Temperature Induced Degradation) by more than 50%

• In HiKu7, the inactive module area is reduced by 70% in comparison to normal cell gaps. Now it’s less than 1 mm as compared to the > 2 mm in normal panels, due to which module efficiency increases by up to 21.4%.
• The impact of shade on HiKu7 is lesser than conventional modules due to its symmetrical module design & larger size of the 210mm cells
• HiKu7 offers 0.5% higher performance under low light conditions in comparison to other panels.
• The high material stability of the double-glass structure ensures the long-term stable power generation of the solar system.

• Usually, a laser is used to cut the solar cells which may damage the cutting surface and cause some micro-cracks at the edge of the cells. In HiKu7, Canadian Solar uses non-destructive scribing and thermal stress to split the cell which prevents cracks and improves the mechanical strength of the cell.
• The half-cell design of HiKu7 modules reduces the hot spot temperature & the large area of the solar cell makes the hot spot temperature rise more moderately. Along with it, the optimized number of cells protected by the single diode reduces the risk of a hotspot. Moreover, CSAR technology helps in effectively detecting hotspots.
• After 500 testing cycles with a four-point static load of +5400Pa / -2400Pa and dynamic load 1500Pa sequence, the average degradation value shown by HiKu7 is less than 2%.
• The junction box on the panel is fixed by 100% automatic tin welding. Tin will wrap the lead wire of the busbar and the electrode of the J-box together to improve the welding quality. It can ensure the long-term reliability of the 210mm cell module.

• The higher efficiency of solar panels will help to reduce the total cost of the solar project like the number of panels cost, labor cost, transportation cost, accessories (wire, mounting structure), etc.
• HiKu7 can solve the less space problem, as it is the most efficient solar panel with high WP.
• Multiple tests and assessments, actual verification, and strong operability make it more reliable and long-lasting.
