GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 vs GCL NT12/66GDF-725
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
A 1.0% first-year loss then 0.40% a year, assumed for both panels, 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: GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 or GCL NT12/66GDF-725?
According to our database: GCL NT12/66GDF-725 has higher module efficiency (23.34% vs 23.18%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 and GCL NT12/66GDF-725?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 has a module efficiency of 23.18%, while GCL NT12/66GDF-725 is 23.34%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 use vs GCL NT12/66GDF-725?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 uses TOPCon cells; GCL NT12/66GDF-725 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 GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 and GCL NT12/66GDF-725?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 has a 30 years power warranty; GCL NT12/66GDF-725 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 GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 and GCL NT12/66GDF-725 bifacial panels?
Both GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF 720 and GCL NT12/66GDF-725 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.
