Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: Hyundai HiS-T640NJ or Hyundai HIE-S395VG?
According to our database: Hyundai HiS-T640NJ has higher module efficiency (22.90% vs 20.20%); Hyundai HiS-T640NJ tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.290%/°C vs -0.340%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Hyundai HiS-T640NJ and Hyundai HIE-S395VG?
Hyundai HiS-T640NJ has a module efficiency of 22.90%, while Hyundai HIE-S395VG is 20.20%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Hyundai HiS-T640NJ use vs Hyundai HIE-S395VG?
Hyundai HiS-T640NJ uses TOPCon cells; Hyundai HIE-S395VG uses PERC. 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 Hyundai HiS-T640NJ and Hyundai HIE-S395VG?
Hyundai HiS-T640NJ has a 30 years power warranty; Hyundai HIE-S395VG has a 25 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 Hyundai HiS-T640NJ and Hyundai HIE-S395VG bifacial panels?
Hyundai HiS-T640NJ is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Hyundai HIE-S395VG is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
