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 (-0.280 %/°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 LR7-72HTH-610M or Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M?
According to our database: both panels are closely matched on key specs - the decision often comes down to price and local availability. See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M and Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M has a module efficiency of 22.60%, while Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M is 22.60%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M use vs Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M uses N-type cells; Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M 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 LR7-72HTH-610M and Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M has a 25 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M 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 LR7-72HTH-610M and Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M bifacial panels?
Longi Solar LR5-72HTD-585M is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Longi Solar LR7-72HTH-610M is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
