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 (-0.340 %/°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: Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp or Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370?
According to our database: Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 has higher module efficiency (19.90% vs 19.40%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp and Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370?
Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp has a module efficiency of 19.40%, while Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 is 19.90%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp use vs Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370?
Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp uses PERC cells; Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 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 Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp and Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370?
Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp has a 30 years power warranty; Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 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 Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp and Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 bifacial panels?
Both Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 360 Wp and Solarwatt SOLARWATT Panel vision GM 3.0 style 370 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.
Every figure here is from the manufacturers' own datasheets - a dash means the value is not published, never an estimate. The thirty-year projection and the temperature scenarios are calculations from those figures, and each states its assumption above.
