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 (-0.300 %/°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: LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 or LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685?
According to our database: LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 has higher module efficiency (22.53% vs 22.05%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 and LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685?
LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 has a module efficiency of 22.53%, while LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685 is 22.05%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 use vs LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685?
LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 uses TOPCon cells; LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685 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 LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 and LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685?
LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 has a 30 years power warranty; LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685 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 LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 and LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685 bifacial panels?
Both LEDVANCE M700N66UB-SF-F7 and LEDVANCE M685~705N66UB-SF-F7-685 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.
