The verdict
Identical on every published parameter
All 18 comparable parameters agree, with 1 more left out because at least one datasheet does not publish it. Two records this alike are usually one panel sold under two names, or two bins of the same production line - decide on price and on who you would rather buy from.

What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
A 1.0% first-year loss then 0.40% a year, assumed for both panels, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.300 %/°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 JKM620N-78HL4-BDV or Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV?
According to our database: Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV has higher module efficiency (22.18% vs 22.00%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV and Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV?
Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV has a module efficiency of 22.18%, while Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV is 22.00%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV use vs Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV?
Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV uses N-type cells; Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV uses N-type. 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 JKM620N-78HL4-BDV and Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV?
Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV has a 30 years power warranty; Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV 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 JKM620N-78HL4-BDV and Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV bifacial panels?
Both Jinko Solar JKM620N-78HL4-BDV and Jinko Solar JKM615N-78HL4-BDV 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.
