According to our database: **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** has higher module efficiency (**23.80%** vs **22.30%**); **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** tolerates heat better (temp coeff **-0.240%/°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 Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG and Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG? **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** has a module efficiency of **23.80%**, while **Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG** is **22.30%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG use vs Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG? **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** uses **HJT** cells; **Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG** 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 Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG and Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG? **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG** 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 Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG and Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG bifacial panels? Both **Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG** and **Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG** 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 - [Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG vs Risen RSM132-8-745BHDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm132-8-740bhdg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm132-8-745bhdg) - One difference: module efficiency - [Risen RSM132-8-740BHDG vs Risen RSM132-8-735BHDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm132-8-740bhdg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm132-8-735bhdg) - The same specification on paper - [Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG vs Risen RSM96-11-460BNDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-445bndg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-460bndg) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG vs Risen RSM96-11-455BNDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-445bndg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-455bndg) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG vs Risen RSM96-11-450BNDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-445bndg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-450bndg) - One difference: module efficiency - [Risen RSM96-11-445BNDG vs Risen RSM96-11-440BNDG](https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-445bndg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-440bndg) - One difference: module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm132-8-740bhdg/risen-energy-co-ltd-rsm96-11-445bndg 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.
