According to our database: **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**650 W**** has higher module efficiency (**24.10%** vs **23.50%**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W and Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-650W? **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**635 W**** has a module efficiency of **23.50%**, while **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**650 W**** is **24.10%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W use vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-650W? **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**635 W**** uses **TOPCon** cells; **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**650 W**** 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 Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W and Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-650W? **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**635 W**** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**650 W**** 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 Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W and Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-650W bifacial panels? Both **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**635 W**** and **Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-**650 W**** 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. ## Related comparisons - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-650](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-650) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-645W](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-645w) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-645](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-645) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-640W](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-640w) - One difference: module efficiency - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-640](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-640) - One difference: module efficiency - [Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635W vs Astronergy CHSM66RN(DG)/F-BH-635](https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635) - The same specification on paper --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-635w/astronergy-chint-new-energy-technology-co-ltd-chsm66rn-dg-f-bh-650w Not in this file, on the page: the thirty-year yield curve year by year at a cell temperature you pick and a written summary generated on request.
