Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB or PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION)?
According to our database: PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB has higher module efficiency (23.27% vs 22.53%); PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.260%/°C vs -0.290%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB and PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION)?
PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB has a module efficiency of 23.27%, while PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) is 22.53%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB use vs PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION)?
PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB uses HJT cells; PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) uses HJT. 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 PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB and PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION)?
PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB has a 30 years power warranty; PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) 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 PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB and PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) bifacial panels?
Both PVolution PVN465-M12TCBB and PVolution PVN700-M12TCBB (TRION) 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.
Every figure here is from the manufacturers' own datasheets - a dash means the value is not published, never an estimate. The thirty-year projection and the temperature scenarios are calculations from those figures, and each states its assumption above.
