According to our database: **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB** has higher module efficiency (**22.90%** vs **20.50%**); **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/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 JAM66D46-710/LB and JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR? **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB** has a module efficiency of **22.90%**, while **JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR** is **20.50%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB use vs JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR? **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB** uses **TOPCon** cells; **JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR** 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 JAM66D46-710/LB and JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR? **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB** has a **30 years** power warranty; **JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR** 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 JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB and JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR bifacial panels? **JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB** is bifacial (captures light from both faces); **JA Solar JAM72S20-455/MR** is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath. ## Related comparisons - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-740/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-740-lb) - 6 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-735/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-735-lb) - 5 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-730/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-730-lb) - 5 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-725/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-725-lb) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-720/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-720-lb) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [JA Solar JAM66D46-710/LB vs JA Solar JAM66D46-715/LB](https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam66d46-715-lb) - The same specification on paper --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/ja-solar-jam66d46-710-lb/ja-solar-jam72s20-455-mr-1 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.
