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 (-0.377 %/°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: Silfab SIL-380 BK or Silfab SIL-410-BG?
According to our database: both panels are closely matched on key specs - the decision often comes down to price and local availability. See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Silfab SIL-380 BK and Silfab SIL-410-BG?
Silfab SIL-380 BK has a module efficiency of 21.40%, while Silfab SIL-410-BG is 21.40%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Silfab SIL-380 BK use vs Silfab SIL-410-BG?
Silfab SIL-380 BK uses PERC cells; Silfab SIL-410-BG uses PERC. 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-380 BK and Silfab SIL-410-BG?
Silfab SIL-380 BK has a 30 years power warranty; Silfab SIL-410-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.
