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

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

Yingli Solar<\/strong>\u00a0panels are divided into:\u00a01) Monocrystalline<\/em>: PANDA 48 and 60 cell series\u00a02) Multicrystalline<\/em>: YGE 48, 60 and 72 cell series and iii) Off-grid modules: YLSYS 300, 800, 1200 and 1600 series.<\/p>\n

Yingli solar panels can also be conveniently used for\u00a0residential, commercial and utility<\/em>\u00a0purposes:<\/p>\n

i)\u00a0Residential<\/em>: PANDA 48 and 60 cell series and YGE\u00a048 and 60 cell series.<\/p>\n

ii)\u00a0Commercial<\/em>\u00a0(Business) :\u00a0PANDA 60 cell series and YGE 48, 60, 72 cell series<\/p>\n

iii)\u00a0Utility<\/em>\u00a0(Power Plants): YGE 60 and 72 cell series.<\/p>\n

Canadian Solar<\/strong>\u00a0modules are both\u00a0monocrystalline 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

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

The cell types found in Yingli modules is generally 156\u00d7156 mm,\u00a0whereas in Canadian Solar they are\u00a0\u00a0125\u00d7125 mm and 156\u00d7156 mm.<\/p>\n

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

Weight for Yingli modules is between 15 kg to 21 kg.\u00a0Canadian Solar panels have weight in the range of 15.5 kg \u2013 27 kg.<\/p>\n

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

Anodized aluminium alloy frame is used in Yingli Green solar modules and Canadian Solar panels. The BIPV modules of Canadian Solar have no frame.<\/p>\n

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

The solar panels from both can withstand upto 5400 pa wind speed and snow load.<\/p>\n

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

Canadian Solar Panels come with 10 years product warranty (materials and workmanship) and 25\u00a0 years linear module power output warranty.\u00a0Yingli Green Energy modules come with 10 years limited product warranty and limited power warranty of 10 years at 91.2% of minimal rated power output, 25 years at 80.7% of\u00a0minimal rated power output.<\/p>\n

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

Canadian Solar panels come with the top ranked PVUSA (PTC) rating in California for higher energy production.\u00a0Yingli Green modules are certified under\u00a0IEC\u00a061215,\u00a0IEC\u00a061730,\u00a0<\/em>MCS, CE, ISO\u00a09001:2008, ISO\u00a014001:2004, BS OHSAS\u00a018001:2007, SA\u00a08000, PV CYCLE.
