CS6K-P-PG

Product catalog summary

Overview: Canadian Solar's Diamond module is a double-glass solar module designed for enhanced durability and reliability. By replacing the traditional polymer backsheet with heat-strengthened glass, the module experiences less annual power degradation and is free from Potential Induced Degradation (PID) due to the absence of a metal frame and module-level grounding.

Key Features:

Anti-PID cell and encapsulation technology.
Lower annual power degradation with 2.5% in the first year and 0.5% in subsequent years, maintaining 85% power output at Year 25 and 83% at Year 30.
Designed for high voltage systems up to 1500 VDC, reducing Balance of System (BoS) costs.
Suitable for sea/waterside installations with glass backsheet blocking moisture permeability and no module-level corrosion.
Withstands 5400 Pa snow load and 2400 Pa wind load.

Product Certificates: The module complies with IEC 61215 / IEC 61730 and UL 1703 standards, with expected CEC listing.

Electrical Data:

Nominal Max. Power: 255 W (CS6K-255P-PG) and 260 W (CS6K-260P-PG).

Preliminary Technical Information Sheet DOUBLE-GLASS MODULE DIAMOND CS6K-255/260P-PG (PRELIMINARY) Canadian Solar‘s Diamond module is a doubleglass module. By replacing the traditional polymer backsheet with heat-strengthened glass, the Diamond module has less annual power degradation and is more reliable and durable during its lifetime. What’s more, the Diamond module has no metal frame and is Potential Induced Degradation (PID) free because it requires no module level grounding, which eliminates the cause of PID. KEY FEATURES PID free module · Anti-PID cell technology · Anti-PID encapsulation technology · No metal module frame Lower Annual Power Degradation & more system power yield over lifetime · First year annual degradation 2.5 %, subsequent year 0.5 % · 85 % power output at Year 25 · 83 % power output at Year 30 Designed for high voltage systems of up to 1500 VDC, saving on BoS cost Sea-/waterside PV system installation · Glass backsheet blocks moisture permeability · No module level corrosion 5400 Pa snow load, 2400 Pa wind load PRODUCT CERTIFICATES IEC 61215 / IEC 61730: VDE/CE UL 1703: CSA (expected February, 2015) CEC listing (expected February, 2015) CANADIAN SOLAR INC. is committed to providing high quality solar products, solar system solutions and services to customers around the world.
