According to our database: **Hanersun HN21N-66HT**730 W**** has higher module efficiency (**23.50%** vs **22.50%**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W and Hanersun HN21RN-54HT500W? **Hanersun HN21N-66HT**730 W**** has a module efficiency of **23.50%**, while **Hanersun HN21RN-54HT**500 W**** is **22.50%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W use vs Hanersun HN21RN-54HT500W? **Hanersun HN21N-66HT**730 W**** uses **N-type** cells; **Hanersun HN21RN-54HT**500 W**** 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 Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W and Hanersun HN21RN-54HT500W? **Hanersun HN21N-66HT**730 W**** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Hanersun HN21RN-54HT**500 W**** 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 Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W and Hanersun HN21RN-54HT500W bifacial panels? Both **Hanersun HN21N-66HT**730 W**** and **Hanersun HN21RN-54HT**500 W**** 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. ## Related comparisons - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT750W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht750w) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT745W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht745w) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT740W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht740w) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT735W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht735w) - 2 differences, the largest is cell technology - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT725W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht725w) - One difference: module efficiency - [Hanersun HN21N-66HT730W vs Hanersun HN21N-66HT720W](https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21n-66ht720w) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/hanersun-hn21n-66ht730w/hanersun-hn21rn-54ht500w Not in this file, on the page: the thirty-year yield curve year by year at a cell temperature you pick and a written summary generated on request.
