Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W vs Solitek Magnus 510

Q: Which panel is better: Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W or Solitek Magnus 510?

According to our database: Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W has higher module efficiency (22.97% vs 22.93%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.

Q: What is the efficiency of Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W and Solitek Magnus 510?

Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W has a module efficiency of 22.97%, while Solitek Magnus 510 is 22.93%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W use vs Solitek Magnus 510?

Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W uses TOPCon cells; Solitek Magnus 510 uses TOPCon. Modern n-type technologies (TOPCon, HJT, BC) typically deliver higher efficiency and lower degradation compared to older PERC (p-type) cells.

Q: What is the warranty on Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W and Solitek Magnus 510?

Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W has a 30 years power warranty; Solitek Magnus 510 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.

Q: Are Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W and Solitek Magnus 510 bifacial panels?

Both Solitek SOLID Framed White 650W and Solitek Magnus 510 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.

Thirty years of production

Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year

Cell temperature

Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.300 %/°C), so a warmer roof scales both curves by the same factor: the totals fall together and neither panel gains on the other.
