What it means on a roof

Thirty years of production
Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year
Same temp coeff. for both panels (-0.300 %/°C), so a warmer roof scales both curves by the same factor: the totals fall together and neither panel gains on the other.

Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG or Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG?
According to our database: Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG has higher module efficiency (21.94% vs 21.71%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG and Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG?
Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG has a module efficiency of 21.71%, while Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG is 21.94%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG use vs Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG?
Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG uses TOPCon cells; Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG 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 Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG and Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG?
Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG has a 30 years power warranty; Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG 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 Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG and Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG bifacial panels?
Both Seraphim SEG-470-BTB-BG and Seraphim SEG-475-BTB-BG 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.
