Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC or Silfab SIL-630 XL?
According to our database: Silfab SIL-630 XL has higher module efficiency (22.56% vs 18.70%); Silfab SIL-630 XL tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.290%/°C vs -0.380%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC and Silfab SIL-630 XL?
Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC has a module efficiency of 18.70%, while Silfab SIL-630 XL is 22.56%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC use vs Silfab SIL-630 XL?
Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC uses PERC cells; Silfab SIL-630 XL 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 Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC and Silfab SIL-630 XL?
Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC has a 30 years power warranty; Silfab SIL-630 XL 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 Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC and Silfab SIL-630 XL bifacial panels?
Silfab SIL-630 XL is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
