Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M or Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M?
According to our database: Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M has higher module efficiency (24.60% vs 24.30%); Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M 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 LR7-72HVD-665M and Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M has a module efficiency of 24.60%, while Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M is 24.30%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M use vs Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M uses N-type cells; Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M uses Back Contact. 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 LR7-72HVD-665M and Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M?
Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M has a 30 years power warranty; Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M 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 LR7-72HVD-665M and Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M bifacial panels?
Both Longi Solar LR7-72HVD-665M and Longi Solar LR7-54HJD-495M are bifacial - they capture reflected light from the ground, which can add 5-15% more annual energy on ground-mount or elevated rooftop installations with a light surface beneath.
