Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Silfab SIL-440 QD or Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC?
According to our database: Silfab SIL-440 QD has higher module efficiency (22.60% vs 18.70%); Silfab SIL-440 QD 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-440 QD and Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC?
Silfab SIL-440 QD has a module efficiency of 22.60%, while Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC is 18.70%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Silfab SIL-440 QD use vs Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC?
Silfab SIL-440 QD uses N-type cells; Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC 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-440 QD and Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC?
Silfab SIL-440 QD has a 30 years power warranty; Silfab SIL-370 NT mono PERC 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.
