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 (-0.340 %/°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: Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M or Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M?
According to our database: Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M has higher module efficiency (21.20% vs 20.70%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M and Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M?
Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M has a module efficiency of 20.70%, while Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M is 21.20%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M use vs Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M?
Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M uses PERC cells; Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M 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 Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M and Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M?
Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M has a 30 years power warranty; Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M 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 SR5-60HBD-585M and Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M bifacial panels?
Both Sunplus SR5-60HBD-585M and Sunplus SR5-60HBD-600M 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.
