Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530

Q: Which panel is better: Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 or Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530?

According to our database: Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 has higher module efficiency (21.68% vs 20.52%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.

Q: What is the efficiency of Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530?

Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 has a module efficiency of 21.68%, while Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530 is 20.52%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 use vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530?

Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 uses PERC cells; Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530 uses PERC. 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 Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530?

Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 has a 30 years power warranty; Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530 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 Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530 bifacial panels?

Both Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530 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.

What it means on a roof

Thirty years of production

Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year

Cell temperature

Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.320 %/°C), so a warmer roof scales both curves by the same factor: the totals fall together and neither panel gains on the other.
