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 (-0.260 %/°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: Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M or Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M?
According to our database: Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M has higher module efficiency (24.00% vs 23.80%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M and Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M?
Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M has a module efficiency of 24.00%, while Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M is 23.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M use vs Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M?
Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M uses Back Contact cells; Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M uses Back Contact. 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 Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M and Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M?
Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M has a 30 years power warranty; Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M 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 Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M and Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M bifacial panels?
Both Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-770M and Gokin GK-4-78HGBD-765M 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.
