Description

This is the JAM54S31-395MR, a 395W all-black solar module by JA Solar that checks a all the  important boxes when it comes to solar in Canada. Its sleek, all-black design, powerful output, and 54-cell construction make it particularly well-suited to both rooftop and ground-mount applications. All at an incredible price.

JAM54S31-395MR Design Features

54-Half-Cut Cells
This new format results in lower module voltage. This in turn means higher-output long-series module strings in ground mount systems.

More Power into a 150V MPPT controller
A lower module voltage (less than 40V Voc) allows 3 modules to be wired in series without exceeding the input limits on common 150V charge controllers (remember that module output voltage rises from what your spec sheet says for every degree below 25C!). That means more power per string with this JA Solar module than you will be able to achieve with only two of a higher-power, higher-voltage module.

11-BusBar PERC Cells
State-of-the-art PERC cells, in half-cut format, provide exceptional performance in partial shade & a rated module efficiency of 20.7%.

All-Black Aesthetics
Not only does this module look good, but like other all-black modules, the additional heat absorption will assist with snow & ice shedding. It all helps boost performance in Canada.

Why JA Solar?

JA Solar ticks both boxes when it comes to choosing the best modules for our clients. A quick explainer: Modern Outpost has two key criteria when choosing solar module brands…

1. They must participate in 3rd party reliability testing.
Often referred to as randomized HALT testing, a 3rd party standards lab will take a module off the assembly line at random and run it through ‘Highly Accelerated Life Testing’. Through this testing, the module is subjected to repeated extremes in temperatures, humidity, physical stresses, and more. Not only must the brands we carry participate, but we look for ‘Top Performer’ status.
Check out the PVEL/KIWA website for complete information

2. Commitment to responsible manufacturing
The SVTC Solar Scorecard was the original attempt to rank manufacturers according to their commitments to ethical labour practices, recycling, waste reduction, and more. Here is a link to the last published ScoreCard for your reference: 2018-19 SVTC Solar Scorecard.
We are looking forward to the emergence of other similar resources that hold the industry to the highest standards, and will always choose to work with manufacturers that are forward-thinking.

Who Is JA Solar?

Founded in 2005, JA Solar is a manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic products. With 12 manufacturing bases and more than 20 branches around the world, the company’s business covers silicon wafers, cells, modules and photovoltaic power stations.
JA Solar holds a Tier 1 ranking from Bloomberg.
JA Solar also ranks among the top solar producers when if comes to ethics as evidenced in the SolarScorecard.com, and is consistently one of the top performers in PV Evolution Labs random selection HALT (highly accelerated life testing) evaluations.
