Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 or Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630?
According to our database: Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 has higher module efficiency (23.10% vs 22.60%); Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.290%/°C vs -0.300%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 and Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630?
Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 has a module efficiency of 23.10%, while Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630 is 22.60%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 use vs Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630?
Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 uses N-type cells; Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630 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 Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 and Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630?
Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 has a 30 years power warranty; Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630 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 Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 and Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630 bifacial panels?
Both Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 645 and Q-Cells Q.TRON XL-G2.3 / BFG 630 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.
