Questions about this pairing

Which panel is better: SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD or SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
According to our database: SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD has higher module efficiency (22.41% vs 21.12%); SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.300%/°C vs -0.350%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD and SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD has a module efficiency of 22.41%, 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 SPV695-TG12-132BD use vs SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD uses TOPCon 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 SPV695-TG12-132BD and SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144?
SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD 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.
Are SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD and SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144 bifacial panels?
SpolarPV SPV695-TG12-132BD is bifacial (captures light from both faces); SpolarPV SPV545-PM10-144 is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.

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.
