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 (-0.350 %/°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: SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 or SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
According to our database: SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 has higher module efficiency (21.69% vs 21.12%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 and SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 has a module efficiency of 21.69%, while SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144 is 21.12%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 use vs SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 uses PERC cells; SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144 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 SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 and SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV560-PM10-144 has a 30 years power warranty; SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144 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.
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.
