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 (-0.260 %/°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: AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db or Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M?
According to our database: AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db has higher module efficiency (24.00% vs 23.50%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db and Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M?
AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db has a module efficiency of 24.00%, while Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M is 23.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db use vs Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M?
AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db uses Back Contact cells; Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M uses N-type. 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 AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db and Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M?
AIKO AIKO-A480-MCE54Db has a 30 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-480M 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.
