Preliminary Technical
Information Sheet
KuDymond
HIGH EFFICIENCY BIFACIAL MONO
MODULE (1000 V / 1500 V )
CS3U-355|360|365|370MB-FG
Canadian Solar‘s KuDymond CS3U-MB-FG module is a high power
double-glass module with industry leading bifacial mono-PERC
cell technology. It can generate electricity on both front and back
sides, receiving reflected light and scattered light to increase
energy yield by 5~30%. It provides higher energy yield, shorter IRR
and lower LCOE.
The KuDymond bifacial mono-PERC modules can reach up to 370
W with the following unique features:
• Higher power classes for equivalent module sizes
• More energy yield due to back side power generation
• High module efficiency up to 18.54 %
• LOW hot spot temperature risk
• LOW temperature coefficient (Pmax): -0.37 % / °C
• LOW NMOT (Nominal Module Operating Temperature): 42 ± 2 °C
5 ~ 30 % more energy yield from PID resistant
module backside
Fire Class A and Type 3 / Type 13 More power output thanks to
certified according to IEC 61730- low NMOT: 42 ± 2 °C
2 / MST 23 and UL 1703
Safer: lower hot spot Heavy snow load up to 5400 Pa,
temperature wind load up to 2400 Pa
30 linear power output warranty
