The verdict
Identical on every published parameter
All 18 comparable parameters agree, with 1 more left out because at least one datasheet does not publish it. Two records this alike are usually one panel sold under two names, or two bins of the same production line - decide on price and on who you would rather buy from.

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 (-0.300 %/°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: Sunplus 740 or Sunplus 735?
According to our database: Sunplus 740 has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 23.70%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Sunplus 740 and Sunplus 735?
Sunplus 740 has a module efficiency of 23.80%, while Sunplus 735 is 23.70%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Sunplus 740 use vs Sunplus 735?
Sunplus 740 uses HJT cells; Sunplus 735 uses HJT. 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 Sunplus 740 and Sunplus 735?
Sunplus 740 has a 30 years power warranty; Sunplus 735 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 Sunplus 740 and Sunplus 735 bifacial panels?
Both Sunplus 740 and Sunplus 735 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.
