According to a national renewable energy laboratory nrel study premium modern solar panel manufacturers such as panasonic and lg offer panels with degradation rates as low as 0 30 per year.
Canadian solar panel degradation.
0 5 degradation per annum.
The worst degradation rate is 80 a year but as a benchmark you can expect an average degradation rate of 50 a year for any panel.
As a key durability assessment criteria there is no added evaluation on damp heat testing dht or thermal cycle testing to suggest that the canadian solar cs6k p module range is above iec standard.
Ammonia resistance is regarded as respectable conforming to iec 62716 and hail impact is indistinguishable.

Leakage current has no correlation to pid sensitivity.
During the first year power output should be no less than 97 5 of labeled power output.

Qu s leadership we have grown into one of the world s largest solar.
Which means at year 25 the total power output should be a minimum of 80 7.
