According to our database: **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** has higher module efficiency (**22.45%** vs **21.68%**); **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** tolerates heat better (temp coeff **-0.300%/°C** vs **-0.320%/°C**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580? **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560** has a module efficiency of **21.68%**, while **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** is **22.45%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 use vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580? **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560** uses **PERC** cells; **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** uses **TOPCon**. 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 Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580? **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** 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 Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 and Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580 bifacial panels? Both **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560** and **Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD580** 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. ## Related comparisons - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD555](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd555) - One difference: module efficiency - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD550](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd550) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD545](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd545) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD540](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd540) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD535](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd535) - 4 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD560 vs Renew Photovoltaics RPS2MH72BD530](https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd530) - 6 differences, the largest is module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd560/renew-photovoltaics-rps2mh72bd580 Not in this file, on the page: the thirty-year yield curve year by year at a cell temperature you pick and a written summary generated on request.
