Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M or Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M?
According to our database: Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M has higher module efficiency (24.60% vs 24.50%); Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.240%/°C vs -0.260%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M?
Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M has a module efficiency of 24.50%, while Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M is 24.60%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M use vs Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M?
Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M uses Back Contact cells; Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M 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 Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M?
Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M has a 30 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M 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 Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M bifacial panels?
Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-500M is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Longi Solar LR7-72HVHF-665M is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
