What it means on a roof

Thirty years of production
A 1.0% first-year loss then 0.40% a year, assumed for both panels, 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: Sharp NB-JD570 or Sharp NB-JD580?
According to our database: Sharp NB-JD580 has higher module efficiency (22.45% vs 22.07%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Sharp NB-JD570 and Sharp NB-JD580?
Sharp NB-JD570 has a module efficiency of 22.07%, while Sharp NB-JD580 is 22.45%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Sharp NB-JD570 use vs Sharp NB-JD580?
Sharp NB-JD570 uses TOPCon cells; Sharp NB-JD580 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 Sharp NB-JD570 and Sharp NB-JD580?
Sharp NB-JD570 has a 30 years power warranty; Sharp NB-JD580 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 Sharp NB-JD570 and Sharp NB-JD580 bifacial panels?
Both Sharp NB-JD570 and Sharp NB-JD580 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.
