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: GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 or GCL NT12/66GDF-720?
According to our database: GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 has higher module efficiency (23.66% 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-735 and GCL NT12/66GDF-720?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 has a module efficiency of 23.66%, while GCL NT12/66GDF-720 is 23.18%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 use vs GCL NT12/66GDF-720?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 uses TOPCon cells; GCL NT12/66GDF-720 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-735 and GCL NT12/66GDF-720?
GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 has a 30 years power warranty; GCL NT12/66GDF-720 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-735 and GCL NT12/66GDF-720 bifacial panels?
Both GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-735 and GCL NT12/66GDF-720 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.
