What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.290 %/°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: JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR or JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB?
According to our database: JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 23.70%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR and JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB?
JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR has a module efficiency of 23.80%, while JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB is 23.70%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR use vs JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB?
JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR uses N-type cells; JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB 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 JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR and JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB?
JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR has a 30 years power warranty; JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB 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 JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR and JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB bifacial panels?
JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB is bifacial (captures light from both faces); JA Solar JAM54D40-475/LR is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
