Canadian Solar Inc., a Canada-based manufacturer of PV modules headquartered in Ontario, has announced the launch of its next-generation Low Carbon modules integrating heterojunction (HJT) cell technology. According to Canadian Solar, the modules have achieved an leading carbon footprint of 285 kg CO₂eq/kW, alongside a maximum output of 660 Wp and efficiency of up to 24.4%.Canadian Solar said that technological improvements including a 20% higher ingot utilization rate, thinner 110 μm wafers, and streamlined four-step HJT manufacturing have collectively lowered emissions and energy consumption. Canadian Solar added that overall production energy demand has reduced by nearly 10%, shortening the carbon payback time of the modules by around 11% compared to conventional N-type products. The modules, fully compatible with Canadian Solar’s inverter portfolio, are being introduced to utility-scale and commercial markets, with deliveries starting in August 2025 and a showcase planned at RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas.
