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: Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU or Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU?
According to our database: Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU has higher module efficiency (22.90% vs 22.54%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU and Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU?
Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU has a module efficiency of 22.54%, while Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU is 22.90%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU use vs Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU?
Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU uses TOPCon cells; Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU 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 Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU and Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU?
Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU has a 30 years power warranty; Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU 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 Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU and Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU bifacial panels?
Both Jinko Solar JKM630N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU and Jinko Solar JKM640N-78HL4-BDV-F9-EU 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.
