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 NT12/66GDF-725 or GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715?
According to our database: GCL NT12/66GDF-725 has higher module efficiency (23.34% vs 23.02%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of GCL NT12/66GDF-725 and GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715?
GCL NT12/66GDF-725 has a module efficiency of 23.34%, while GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715 is 23.02%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does GCL NT12/66GDF-725 use vs GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715?
GCL NT12/66GDF-725 uses TOPCon cells; GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715 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 NT12/66GDF-725 and GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715?
GCL NT12/66GDF-725 has a 30 years power warranty; GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715 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 NT12/66GDF-725 and GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715 bifacial panels?
Both GCL NT12/66GDF-725 and GCL GCL-NT12/66GDF-715 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.
