Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W vs Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W

Q: Which panel is better: Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W or Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W?

According to our database: Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W has higher module efficiency (23.50% vs 23.30%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.

Q: What is the efficiency of Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W and Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W?

Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W has a module efficiency of 23.30%, while Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W is 23.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W use vs Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W?

Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W uses TOPCon cells; Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W uses TOPCon. Modern n-type technologies (TOPCon, HJT, BC) typically deliver higher efficiency and lower degradation compared to older PERC (p-type) cells.

Q: What is the warranty on Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W and Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W?

Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W has a 30 years power warranty; Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W 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.

Q: Are Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W and Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W bifacial panels?

Sun Earth DXM8-60HBG 505W is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Sun Earth DXM10-48H 470W is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.

Thirty years of production

Each panel's own declared degradation curve, at 1,200 kWh/kWp a year

Cell temperature

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.
