The verdict

Identical on every published parameter

All 18 comparable parameters agree, with 1 more left out because at least one datasheet does not publish it. Two records this alike are usually one panel sold under two names, or two bins of the same production line - decide on price and on who you would rather buy from.

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 (-0.290 %/°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: Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) or Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White)?
According to our database: Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) has higher module efficiency (23.02% vs 23.00%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) and Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White)?
Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) has a module efficiency of 23.00%, while Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) is 23.02%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) use vs Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White)?
Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) uses TOPCon cells; Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) 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 Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) and Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White)?
Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) has a 30 years power warranty; Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) 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 Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) and Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) bifacial panels?
Both Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (Full Black) and Solar-Fabrik S4-DG460-96TMax (White) 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.
