Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W vs Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W

Q: What is the efficiency of Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W and Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W?

Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W has a module efficiency of 23.03%, while Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W is 23.22%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W use vs Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W?

Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W uses N-type cells; Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W uses N-type. Modern n-type technologies (TOPCon, HJT, BC) typically deliver higher efficiency and lower degradation compared to older PERC (p-type) cells.

Q: What is the warranty on Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W and Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W?

Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W has a 30 years power warranty; Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W 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.

Q: Are Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W and Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W bifacial panels?

Both Philadelphia Solar PS-MNB144(HCBF)-595W and Philadelphia Solar PS-MNG144(HCBF)-600W 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.
