What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.260 %/°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: Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M or Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475?
According to our database: Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475 has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 23.30%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M and Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475?
Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M has a module efficiency of 23.30%, while Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475 is 23.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M use vs Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475?
Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M uses N-type cells; Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475 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 Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M and Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475?
Longi Solar LR7-54HVB-475M has a 30 years power warranty; Suntech STP-NT11/48QGSF-475 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.
