Instead of the standard three, the panels feature **five busbars**, which improves current collection from each cell and reduces resistive losses, translating into more stable module output over time. The cells are manufactured using a junction formation technology adopted from semiconductor manufacturing, delivering longer minority carrier lifetimes and a very tight distribution of production parameters - which in turn minimizes mismatch losses across a string of panels. The panels are **PID-free**, eliminating the risk of power loss from potential-induced degradation, a common issue in cheaper alternatives. An anti-reflective, hydrophobic coating improves light absorption and helps the surface self-clean from dust, resulting in **better yield under low-light conditions** - mornings, evenings, and cloudy days. The construction withstands high wind and snow loads, making it well suited to coastal areas, deserts, and lakeside sites. The RS6S-P series is backed by a **linear power warranty** covering 30 years, along with a 12-year product warranty, making it a sound choice for investors who value low lifecycle cost over simple upfront price. ## Notable figures - At 17.5% efficiency, this panel is 4.3pp below the \*\*database\*\* median of 21.8% - At 175.2 W/m², this panel generates 42.9 W/m² less per unit area than \*\*database\*\* median (218.1 W/m²) - -0.39%/°C temperature coefficient - 0.09pp worse than \*\*database\*\* median (-0.30%/°C), expect higher hot weather losses - Weight of 22.0 kg (4.5 kg below \*\*database\*\* median of 26.5 kg) allows easier transport and roof mounting - Ranked #13441 out of 14129 panels for efficiency in the database ## Questions ### Is the Resun Solar RS6S-P series still available for purchase? The RS6S-P series has been discontinued from Resun Solar's current production lineup. New installations should generally be based on the manufacturer's current models, though RS6S-P panels may still be available through distributors as remaining stock. Buyers should check the production date and warranty status with the seller before purchasing, as service support for discontinued models can be limited. ### What is the maximum power output of the RS6S-P panel and what installations is it suited for? RS6S-P series panels reach a maximum power output of up to 330 Wp. This is typical for classic 72-cell polycrystalline modules and works well for on-grid installations of medium to large capacity, such as single-family home roofs, outbuildings, or smaller solar farms where stable, predictable energy production matters most. ### How does the 5-busbar design differ from standard 3-busbar panels? Five busbars instead of three provide more current collection paths per cell, reducing resistive losses and shortening the electron travel distance within the cell. This results in more stable long-term performance and lower risk of micro-crack-related power loss. In practice, it translates into slightly higher and more consistent energy yield over the panel's service life. ### Are RS6S-P panels resistant to PID degradation? Yes, the RS6S-P series is PID-free, meaning it does not suffer from power loss caused by voltage-induced polarization between the cell and frame. This is a common issue in cheaper modules, especially in large installations with long panel strings. PID resistance ensures the module maintains its rated output throughout the warranty period without a sudden drop in performance after a few years. ### How well do RS6S-P panels perform in low-light and cloudy conditions? An anti-reflective, hydrophobic coating improves light absorption and helps the surface self-clean from dust and debris. As a result, RS6S-P panels deliver better output in the morning, evening, and on overcast days compared to modules without such coating. This is a significant advantage for locations with variable sunlight, such as Poland, where fully sunny days are not the norm year-round. ### What warranty comes with the Resun Solar RS6S-P series and what does it cover? The manufacturer backs the RS6S-P series with a 12-year product warranty and a 30-year linear power warranty. The product warranty covers material and workmanship defects, while the power warranty guarantees a minimum performance level throughout that period. This combination makes the series a solid choice for long-term life-cycle cost, even though the panel itself has been discontinued from current production. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/RS6S-P_325-345W-9ab07b301c01.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [SunLink LNSK-340M](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-340m) | 340 W | Cooler, +2.5 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-330P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-330p) | 330 W | Lighter, +2.4 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-335MB-AG](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-335mb-ag) | 335 W | Cooler, +2.4 pp | | [SunLink LNSK-335M](https://comparepv.com/panel/sunlink-lnsk-335m) | 335 W | Cooler, +2.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3L-365P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3l-365p) | 365 W | Cooler, +2.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3U-390P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3u-390p) | 390 W | +50 W, +2.2 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Canadian Solar CS3K-325P](https://comparepv.com/panel/canadian-solar-cs3k-325p) | 325 W | Lighter, +2.1 pp, -5 yr warranty | | [Resun Solar RS6S-325P](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs6s-325p) | 325 W | -15 W, -0.8 pp | | [Resun Solar RS6S330P](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs6s330p) | 330 W | -10 W, -0.5 pp | | [Resun Solar RS6S-335P](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs6s-335p) | 335 W | -0.3 pp | | [Resun Solar RS6S-345P](https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs6s-345p) | 345 W | +0.2 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-475](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-475) | 475 W | +135 W, cooler, +6.5 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-470](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-470) | 470 W | +130 W, cooler, +6.2 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX7-465](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max7-465) | 465 W | +125 W, cooler, +6.0 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX6-440](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max6-440) | 440 W | +100 W, cooler, +5.3 pp | | [Maxeon SPR-MAX6-435](https://comparepv.com/panel/maxeon-spr-max6-435) | 435 W | Cooler, +5.0 pp, +10 yr warranty | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/resun-solar-rs6s-340p Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
