According to our database: **IBC Solar YH**710 W**-33MHD/MH** has higher module efficiency (**22.86%** vs **21.09%**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of IBC Solar YH545W-36MH and IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH? **IBC Solar YH**545 W**-36MH** has a module efficiency of **21.09%**, while **IBC Solar YH**710 W**-33MHD/MH** is **22.86%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does IBC Solar YH545W-36MH use vs IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH? **IBC Solar YH**545 W**-36MH** uses **PERC** cells; **IBC Solar YH**710 W**-33MHD/MH** 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 IBC Solar YH545W-36MH and IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH? **IBC Solar YH**545 W**-36MH** has a **30 years** power warranty; **IBC Solar YH**710 W**-33MHD/MH** 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 IBC Solar YH545W-36MH and IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH bifacial panels? **IBC Solar YH**710 W**-33MHD/MH** is bifacial (captures light from both faces); **IBC Solar YH**545 W**-36MH** is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath. ## Related comparisons - [IBC Solar YH545W-36MH vs IBC Solar YH550W-36MH](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh545w-36mh/ibc-solar-yh550w-36mh) - The same specification on paper - [IBC Solar YH545W-36MH vs IBC Solar YH540W-36MH](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh545w-36mh/ibc-solar-yh540w-36mh) - One difference: module efficiency - [IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH vs IBC Solar YH720W-33MHD/MH](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh710w-33mhd-mh/ibc-solar-yh720w-33mhd-mh) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [IBC Solar YH710W-33MHD/MH vs IBC Solar YH715W-33MHD/MH](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh710w-33mhd-mh/ibc-solar-yh715w-33mhd-mh) - The same specification on paper - [IBC Solar YH545W-36MH vs IBC Solar IBC Module White 455 MS-TA1](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh545w-36mh/ibc-solar-ibc-module-white-455-ms-ta1) - 14 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [IBC Solar YH545W-36MH vs IBC Solar IBC Module Transparent 455 LS-TA2](https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh545w-36mh/ibc-solar-ibc-module-transparent-455-ls-ta2) - 14 differences, the largest is module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/ibc-solar-yh545w-36mh/ibc-solar-yh710w-33mhd-mh 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.
