Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M or Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M?
According to our database: Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M has higher module efficiency (22.60% vs 21.80%); Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.280%/°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 Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M and Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M?
Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M has a module efficiency of 22.60%, while Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M is 21.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M use vs Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M?
Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M uses Monocrystalline cells; Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M uses Monocrystalline. 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 Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M and Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M?
Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M has a 30 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M has a 25 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 Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M and Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M bifacial panels?
Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Longi Solar LR5-54HTH-425M is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
