A key feature is its **bifacial design**, which allows for the utilization of reflected light from the ground, effectively increasing energy production without expanding the system. The use of **monocrystalline N-type (TOPCon) cells** ensures stable performance over time and minimizes typical degradation effects, making long-term profitability easier to plan. Another advantage of this series is its **excellent resistance to LID and PID**, as well as its **better performance at higher temperatures**, which is particularly important for rooftop and industrial installations. The CN0 is suitable for homes, businesses, and commercial projects where high power density, aesthetically pleasing installation, and predictable yields are essential, without compromising on quality. ## Notable figures - Efficiency of 22.4% is 0.5pp above the \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (21.9%) - At 224.3 W/m² power density, this panel generates 6.0 W/m² more per unit area than \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (218.3 W/m²) - Temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C matches the \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median - Weight of 24.5 kg is 2.5 kg above \*\*N-type 400-450W\*\* median (22.0 kg) - verify structural support - Bifacial design (80% factor) captures reflected light - adds 4-12% yield on ground-mount or white roof ## Questions ### Is the Solar N Plus CN0 series still available for purchase? The CN0 series has been discontinued by Solar N Plus and is no longer actively offered by the manufacturer. If you need panels with similar specs — N-type TOPCon cells and bifacial construction — check with your distributor for remaining stock or consider a current replacement from Solar N Plus's lineup. Before buying warehouse stock, always confirm that the warranty terms are still honored by the distributing party. ### What does bifacial mean for the CN0 panel, and how much extra energy can I expect? A bifacial panel generates power from both sides — the front captures direct irradiance while the rear harvests light reflected off the ground, gravel, or light-colored surfaces. Under typical rooftop conditions the rear-side gain is a few percentage points, but with a bright surface (white gravel, concrete, or a white rooftop membrane) the bifacial gain can reach 10–15% additional yield without expanding the system. The CN0's bifacial design delivers the greatest benefit in ground-mount and flat-roof applications. ### What is the temperature coefficient of the CN0 and does it perform well on hot rooftops? The CN0's TOPCon cells carry a temperature coefficient of Pmax around -0.29%/°C — noticeably better than typical PERC modules at -0.35%/°C. On hot summer days the CN0 loses less power than older P-type technology, which matters on metal rooftops or in commercial installations where module temperature routinely exceeds 50°C (122°F). This makes the CN0 a sound choice for industrial and commercial projects where high ambient temperatures are a recurring factor. ### What product and power warranties does the Solar N Plus CN0 435W carry? Solar N Plus specifies a 15-year product warranty (covering material and workmanship defects) and a 30-year linear power warranty guaranteeing at least 87.4% of rated power after 30 years of operation. Because the CN0 series has been discontinued, make sure to verify with your distributor whether and under what terms the warranty remains valid for warehouse stock purchased today. ### How do the TOPCon cells in the CN0 differ from common PERC cells? TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-type cell technology offering higher conversion efficiency and significantly lower susceptibility to LID (Light-Induced Degradation) and PID (Potential-Induced Degradation) compared to PERC. P-type PERC modules can lose several percent of rated power during the first weeks of operation due to LID, while N-type cells like those in the CN0 are virtually immune to this effect. The result is more stable long-term output and a more predictable LCOE calculation over the system's lifetime. ### Is the CN0 435W a good fit for a residential installation with limited roof space? Yes — at 435 Wp with dimensions of 1722×1134 mm and an efficiency above 21%, the CN0 fits more power into the same roof area than older PERC modules. The bifacial construction further improves the energy balance without requiring additional panels. This makes the CN0 a practical choice for single-family homes with small or partially shaded rooftops, provided the modules are still available through a distributor's existing stock. ## Datasheet [Manufacturer datasheet (PDF)](https://comparepv.com/datasheets/cn0-435w-jp2025v1-1-1-794608c9c792.pdf) ## Alternatives | Panel | Power | How it differs | | --- | --- | --- | | [JA Solar JAT54S40-485/LR](https://comparepv.com/panel/ja-solar-jat54s40-485-lr) | 485 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A485-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a485-mce54mw) | 485 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A485-MAH54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a485-mah54mw) | 485 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Gokin GK-5-54HG-485M](https://comparepv.com/panel/gokin-gk-5-54hg-485m) | 485 W | +50 W, lighter, +1.9 pp | | [Heckert Solar ZEUS 3.0+ 108 485WP](https://comparepv.com/panel/heckert-solar-zeus-3-0-108-485wp) | 485 W | +50 W, cooler, +1.9 pp | | [Solar N Plus SP-N16/108H-420](https://comparepv.com/panel/solar-n-plus-sp-n16-108h-420) | 420 W | Hotter, lighter, -0.8 pp | | [Solar N Plus SP-N16/108H-425](https://comparepv.com/panel/solar-n-plus-sp-n16-108h-425) | 425 W | Hotter, lighter, -0.6 pp | | [Solar N Plus SP-N16/108H-430](https://comparepv.com/panel/solar-n-plus-sp-n16-108h-430) | 430 W | Hotter, lighter, -0.3 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-510M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-510m) | 510 W | +75 W, cooler, +2.6 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A495-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a495-mce54mw) | 495 W | +60 W, lighter, +2.4 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-505M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-505m) | 505 W | +70 W, cooler, +2.3 pp | | [AIKO AIKO-A490-MCE54Mw](https://comparepv.com/panel/aiko-aiko-a490-mce54mw) | 490 W | +55 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | | [Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M](https://comparepv.com/panel/longi-lr7-54hjd-500m) | 500 W | +65 W, cooler, +2.1 pp | | [Talesun CIPRO-TN9C54M-500W](https://comparepv.com/panel/talesun-cipro-tn9c54m-500w) | 500 W | +65 W, lighter, +2.1 pp | --- Source: https://comparepv.com/panel/solar-n-plus-cn0-435w Not in this file, on the page: a thirty-year output simulator, a bifacial gain calculator and alternatives filtered by how closely they match these dimensions.
