HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545W vs HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545W
VS
The verdict
Identical on every published parameter
All 18 comparable parameters agree, with 1 more left out because at least one datasheet does not publish it. Two records this alike are usually one panel sold under two names, or two bins of the same production line - decide on price and on who you would rather buy from.

What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
Declared first-year losses, with 0.40% a year afterwards assumed for both panels, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.330 %/°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: HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545W or HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545W?
According to our database: both panels are closely matched on key specs - the decision often comes down to price and local availability. See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545W and HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545W?
HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545 W has a module efficiency of 21.10%, while HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545 W is 21.10%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545W use vs HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545W?
HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545 W uses PERC cells; HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545 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 HT72-18X 545W and HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545W?
HT-SAAE HT72-18X 545 W has a 25 years power warranty; HT-SAAE HT72-18X-545 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.
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.
