Since solar panels have gained so much popularity and accessibility everywhere, the buyers get really confused about which solar panels to buy. I have been receiving numerous queries from my readers worldwide, asking me which solar panels to buy. I have been writing comparisons between the solar modules<\/a> and hope it will help my readers.<\/p>\n

JA Solar<\/a>\u00a0(JASO)\u00a0<\/strong>produces solar modules at low costs and supplies them to solar manufacturers globally.\u00a0The company has two\u00a0 solar cell \"\"<\/a>
\nmanufacturing\u00a0facilities, one located in Ningjin, Hebei Province, and the other in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province.\u00a0JA Solar sells solar panels as an OEM Solar Panel Producer which means that it sells its solar panels to companies who put their own\u00a0brand names on solar panels produced by JA Solar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Canadian Solar<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(CSIQ)<\/strong>\u00a0is a\u00a0vertically integrated company<\/em>, providing ingots, wafers, solar cells, solar modules, solar power\u00a0systems\u00a0and specialized solar products. Headquartered in\u00a0Canada<\/strong>, the company has factories in China and Ontario with\u00a0wide customer base covering over 50 countries.\u00a0Canadian Solar also offers customized PV products and OEM service around the world. The company sells panels at quite cheap prices.<\/p>\n

Distinguishing Features between Canadian Solar and JA Solar Modules<\/h1>\n

Classification of Solar Modules and Available Models<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Canadian Solar<\/strong> modules are both monocrystalline and multicrystalline.<\/em>\u00a0The Canadian Solar Modules can be broadly classified into: i)\u00a0Standard Modules<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 CS5, CS6, all black CS5A, ii)\u00a0NewEdge Modules<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 CS6P-PX and\u00a0All Black CS5A-MX,\u00a0iii)\u00a0e-Modules<\/em>\u00a0iv)\u00a0Quartech Modules<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 CS6P-P, CS6X-P and iv)\u00a0BIPV Modules<\/em>. These modules can be used for both\u00a0residential and commercial roof-top systems.<\/p>\n

JA Solar<\/strong> modules come in both monocrystalline and multicrystalline<\/em> make.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>JA Solar makes i) SECIUM JAM5 72, ii) SECIUM JAM6 60, iii) SECIUM JAM6 72, iv) JAM(L) 72, v) JAM6 60 under monocrystalline panels and i) MAPLE JAP6 60, ii) MAPLE JAP6 72, iii) JAP6 72 and iv) JAP6\u00a0 60 under multicrystalline solar panel category.<\/p>\n

Cell Arrangement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Solar modules\u00a0come with the standard 125 x 125 mm and 156 x 156 mm cell arrangement.\u00a0For JA Solar\u00a0they are\u00a0\u00a0125\u00d7125 mm, 126\u00d7126 mm and 156\u00d7156 mm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wattage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Solar modules have wattage between\u00a0140 W \u2013 300 W. For JA Solar modules the wattage range is\u00a0195 W \u2013 320 W.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frame<\/strong><\/p>\n

JA Solar panels have the traditional Aluminium frames.\u00a0Anodized aluminium alloy frame is used for Canadian Solars’ modules. The BIPV modules of Canadian Solar have no frame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Weight for JA Solar modules is 15kg, 15.5 kg and 18.5 kg.\u00a0Canadian Solar panels have weight in the range of 15.5 kg \u2013 27 kg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Load Resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both come with load resistance of ~5400pa.<\/p>\n

Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n

JA Solar come with a 10-year quality guarantee and 10-25 years power output guarantee.\u00a0Canadian Solar Panels come with 10 years product warranty (materials and workmanship) and 25\u00a0 years linear module power output warranty.<\/p>\n

Certification<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Solar panels come with the top ranked PVUSA (PTC) rating in California for higher energy production.\u00a0JA Solar Modules have IEC, CE and UL certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n
