Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD or Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD?
According to our database: Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD has higher module efficiency (23.52% vs 23.13%); Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.290%/°C vs -0.300%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD and Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD?
Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD has a module efficiency of 23.13%, while Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD is 23.52%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD use vs Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD?
Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD uses TOPCon cells; Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD 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 Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD and Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD?
Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD has a 30 years power warranty; Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD 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 Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD and Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD bifacial panels?
Both Solarever SE-182*105-625M-132-BD and Solarever SE-182*105-470M-96-BD 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.
