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 LR7-60HVHL-560M or Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M?
According to our database: Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M has higher module efficiency (24.80% vs 24.40%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M?
Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M has a module efficiency of 24.80%, while Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M is 24.40%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M use vs Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M?
Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M uses Back Contact cells; Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M 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 LR7-60HVHL-560M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M?
Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M has a 30 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M 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 LR7-60HVHL-560M and Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M bifacial panels?
Longi Solar LR7-72HVDF-660M is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Longi Solar LR7-60HVHL-560M is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
