According to our database: **Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450** has higher module efficiency (**23.00%** vs **22.50%**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 and Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450? **Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450** has a module efficiency of **23.00%**, while **Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450** is **22.50%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 use vs Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450? **Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450** uses **N-type** cells; **Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450** 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 Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 and Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450? **Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450** has a **30 years** power warranty; **Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450** 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 Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 and Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450 bifacial panels? **Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450** is bifacial (captures light from both faces); **Runergy HY-DH96N11B-450** is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath. ## Related comparisons - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8-450](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8-450) - The same specification on paper - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8B-445](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-445) - One difference: module efficiency - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8-445](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8-445) - One difference: module efficiency - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8B-440](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-440) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8-440](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8-440) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Runergy HY-DH108N8B-450 vs Runergy HY-DH108N8B-435](https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-435) - 3 differences, the largest is module efficiency --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/runergy-hy-dh108n8b-450/runergy-hy-dh96n11b-450 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.
