What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.290 %/°C), so a warmer roof scales both curves by the same factor: the totals fall together and neither panel gains on the other.

Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: AE Solar CME-132-725W or AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630?
According to our database: AE Solar CME-132-725 W has higher module efficiency (23.37% vs 23.34%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of AE Solar CME-132-725W and AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630?
AE Solar CME-132-725 W has a module efficiency of 23.37%, while AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630 is 23.34%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does AE Solar CME-132-725W use vs AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630?
AE Solar CME-132-725 W uses TOPCon cells; AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630 uses TOPCon. 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 CME-132-725W and AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630?
AE Solar CME-132-725 W has a 30 years power warranty; AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630 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 CME-132-725W and AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630 bifacial panels?
AE Solar AE CMER-132BDS-630 is bifacial (captures light from both faces); AE Solar CME-132-725 W is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
