What it means on a roof

Thirty years of production
Declared annual degradation, with a 1.0% first-year loss assumed for both panels because at least one datasheet omits it, 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.
