Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710W or HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540W?
According to our database: HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W has higher module efficiency (22.90% vs 20.90%); HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.310%/°C vs -0.330%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710W and HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540W?
HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W has a module efficiency of 22.90%, while HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540 W is 20.90%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710W use vs HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540W?
HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W uses TOPCon cells; HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540 W 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 HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710W and HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540W?
HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W has a 30 years power warranty; HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540 W 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 HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710W and HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540W bifacial panels?
HT-SAAE HT66-210(ND)-F 710 W is bifacial (captures light from both faces); HT-SAAE HT72-18X 540 W is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.

Every figure here is from the manufacturers' own datasheets - a dash means the value is not published, never an estimate. The thirty-year projection and the temperature scenarios are calculations from those figures, and each states its assumption above.
