Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: AE Solar AE CME-132-720 or MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB?
According to our database: MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB has higher module efficiency (23.82% vs 23.21%); MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.240%/°C vs -0.290%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of AE Solar AE CME-132-720 and MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB?
AE Solar AE CME-132-720 has a module efficiency of 23.21%, while MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB is 23.82%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does AE Solar AE CME-132-720 use vs MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB?
AE Solar AE CME-132-720 uses TOPCon cells; MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB uses HJT. Modern n-type technologies (TOPCon, HJT, BC) typically deliver higher efficiency and lower degradation compared to older PERC (p-type) cells.
What is the warranty on AE Solar AE CME-132-720 and MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB?
AE Solar AE CME-132-720 has a 30 years power warranty; MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB has a 30 years power warranty. The power warranty guarantees a minimum percentage of rated output at the end of the warranty period (typically 80-87%). Product (materials) warranties are usually shorter.
Are AE Solar AE CME-132-720 and MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB bifacial panels?
MY Solar MS740N-HJTGB is bifacial (captures light from both faces); AE Solar AE CME-132-720 is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
