According to our database: **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** has higher module efficiency (**23.13%** vs **23.10%**); **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** tolerates heat better (temp coeff **-0.260%/°C** vs **-0.290%/°C**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) and Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 500W? **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** has a module efficiency of **23.13%**, while **Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG **500 W**** is **23.10%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) use vs Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 500W? **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** uses **TOPCon** cells; **Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG **500 W**** 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 JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) and Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 500W? **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG **500 W**** 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 JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) and Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 500W bifacial panels? Both **Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (**500 W**)** and **Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG **500 W**** 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. ## Related comparisons - [Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) vs Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (520W)](https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-520w) - 5 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) vs Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (515W)](https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-515w) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) vs Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (510W)](https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-510w) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) vs Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (505W)](https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-505w) - One difference: module efficiency - [Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (500W) vs Jinko Solar JKM495-520N-51QL6-BDV-F2-EU (495W)](https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-495w) - One difference: module efficiency - [Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 500W vs Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W](https://comparepv.com/compare/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-500w/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-505w) - One difference: module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/jinko-solar-jkm495-520n-51ql6-bdv-f2-eu-500w/sun-earth-dxm8-60hbg-500w 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.
