Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB or JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V?
According to our database: JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB has higher module efficiency (22.60% vs 21.30%); JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.290%/°C vs -0.350%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB and JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V?
JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB has a module efficiency of 22.60%, while JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V is 21.30%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB use vs JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V?
JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB uses TOPCon cells; JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V 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 JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB and JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V?
JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB has a 30 years power warranty; JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V 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 JAM66D45-610/LB and JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V bifacial panels?
Both JA Solar JAM66D45-610/LB and JA Solar JAM72D30-550/GB/1500V 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.
