The Solar N Plus CN4 series is designed to maximize energy yield from the same surface area - particularly in situations where every square meter of roof space or limited mounting points are crucial. Its key advantage lies in the use of N-type cells in TOPCon technology, which maintain their efficiency over time and are less susceptible to typical losses seen in older systems (e.g., light- or potential-induced degradation). This translates to more stable energy production and a more predictable return on investment.

The CN4 series also features low temperature sensitivity, which helps maintain higher performance on hot days when many modules lose the most energy. The materials and construction also support PID and LID resistance, and in selected variants, it offers bifacial and dual-sided construction, which is useful for flat roofs and ground-mounted installations.

This is a series for investors who want to increase energy yield without increasing the size of their installation and are looking for a technology that genuinely improves the energy balance of their system.

Common questions

6 answered
Is the Solar N Plus CN4 series still available for purchase?
The CN4 series has been discontinued and is no longer actively offered by the manufacturer. If you need N-type TOPCon technology with similar specs (up to 625 Wp, bifacial cells), consider newer series from this or other manufacturers. Some distributors may still have remaining stock, so check availability before writing off this option entirely.
What is TOPCon technology and why are the N-type cells in the CN4 series better than PERC?
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is an N-type cell technology that uses a thin silicon oxide layer to reduce electron recombination and boost efficiency. In practical terms, N-type cells in the CN4 are significantly less prone to LID (Light Induced Degradation) and PID (Potential Induced Degradation) than standard P-type PERC modules. This results in lower annual power loss and more predictable energy yield over the system's lifetime.
Does the Solar N Plus CN4 625 Wp panel perform well on hot days?
Yes. The CN4 series features a low temperature coefficient of approximately -0.29%/°C, typical for N-type TOPCon cells. Standard PERC modules lose around -0.35%/°C. When a panel heats up to 70°C, the CN4 retains several percentage points more output — a measurable advantage that adds up to a meaningful energy gain over a full year of operation.
When does it make sense to choose the bifacial dual-glass CN4 variant?
The bifacial dual-glass CN4 variant is most beneficial on flat roofs and ground-mount installations where the rear side can capture reflected irradiance from light-colored surfaces, gravel, or snow. On a typical sloped roof with dark shingles, the bifacial gain is negligible. The dual-glass construction also provides superior moisture resistance and improved mechanical durability compared to standard backsheet modules.
What inverter should I pair with Solar N Plus CN4 625 Wp modules?
With a module power of 625 Wp and open-circuit voltage typical for this power class (around 45–50 V per module), your inverter must have an MPPT voltage range and maximum DC input voltage that safely cover the string voltage at -10°C. For residential installs, standard string inverters with wide MPPT ranges work well; for ground-mount systems, consider high-power string or central inverters. Always verify compatibility against the inverter's technical datasheet.
What warranty did Solar N Plus offer for the CN4 series?
Solar N Plus warranted its N-type modules with a 15-year product warranty (covering material and manufacturing defects) and a 30-year linear power warranty with annual degradation below 0.4%. Since the CN4 is discontinued, verify the exact warranty terms and ongoing support availability with your distributor, as coverage may depend on the original purchase agreement.
