Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 or Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635?
According to our database: Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 has higher module efficiency (23.50% vs 22.89%); Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.260%/°C vs -0.280%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 and Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635?
Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 has a module efficiency of 22.89%, while Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 is 23.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 use vs Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635?
Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 uses Back Contact cells; Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 uses N-type. 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 Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 and Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635?
Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 has a 30 years power warranty; Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 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 Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 and Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 bifacial panels?
Both Heckert Solar ZEUS 1.2-275 and Heckert Solar ZEUS 2.1-635 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.
