Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) vs Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700

Q: Which panel is better: Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) or Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700?

According to our database: Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) has higher module efficiency (23.00% vs 22.50%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.

Q: What is the efficiency of Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) and Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700?

Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) has a module efficiency of 23.00%, while Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700 is 22.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) use vs Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700?

Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) uses HJT cells; Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700 uses HJT. 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 Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) and Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700?

Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) has a 30 years power warranty; Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700 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 Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) and Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700 bifacial panels?

Both Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG (715W) and Risen RSM132-8-700-715BHDG-700 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.
