Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS vs Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455

Q: Which panel is better: Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS or Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455?

According to our database: Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS has higher module efficiency (23.32% vs 22.77%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.

Q: What is the efficiency of Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS and Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455?

Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS has a module efficiency of 23.32%, while Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455 is 22.77%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.

Q: What cell technology does Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS use vs Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455?

Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS uses HJT cells; Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455 uses HJT. 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 Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS and Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455?

Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS has a 30 years power warranty; Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455 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 Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS and Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455 bifacial panels?

Both Sunpro Power SP630W-210R-132DS and Sunpro Power SP-96DSN455 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.

What it means on a roof

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 (-0.240 %/°C), so a warmer roof scales both curves by the same factor: the totals fall together and neither panel gains on the other.
