AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 vs AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655
VS
The verdict
Identical on every published parameter
All 18 comparable parameters agree, with 1 more left out because at least one datasheet does not publish it. Two records this alike are usually one panel sold under two names, or two bins of the same production line - decide on price and on who you would rather buy from.

What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
Declared first-year losses, with 0.40% a year afterwards assumed for both panels, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.260 %/°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 ICME-132BDS-650 or AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655?
According to our database: AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 has higher module efficiency (24.25% vs 24.06%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 and AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655?
AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 has a module efficiency of 24.06%, while AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 is 24.25%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 use vs AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655?
AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 uses Back Contact cells; AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 uses Back Contact. 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 ICME-132BDS-650 and AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655?
AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 has a 30 years power warranty; AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 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 ICME-132BDS-650 and AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 bifacial panels?
Both AE Solar ICME-132BDS-650 and AE Solar ICME-132BDS-655 are bifacial - they capture reflected light from the ground, which can add 5-15% more annual energy on ground-mount or elevated rooftop installations with a light surface beneath.
