What it means on a roof

Thirty years of production

Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year

Cell temperature

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.
