According to our database: **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** has higher module efficiency (**23.80%** vs **21.95%**); **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** tolerates heat better (temp coeff **-0.260%/°C** vs **-0.300%/°C**). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture. ### What is the efficiency of Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 and VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB? **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** has a module efficiency of **23.80%**, while **VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB** is **21.95%**. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited. ### What cell technology does Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 use vs VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB? **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** uses **TOPCon** cells; **VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB** uses **TOPCon**. 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 Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 and VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB? **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** has a **30 years** power warranty; **VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB** 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 Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 and VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB bifacial panels? Both **Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475** and **VSUN VSUN475N-120BMH-DG-BB** 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. ## Related comparisons - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp730s-d66-nsh) - 14 differences, the largest is rated power - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp-nt11-66qgdf-670) - 11 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-665](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp-nt11-66qgdf-665) - 11 differences, the largest is module efficiency - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp-nt11-66qgdf-660) - 11 differences, the largest is rated power - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-655](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp-nt11-66qgdf-655) - 11 differences, the largest is rated power - [Suntech STP-NT11/48QGDF-475 vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-650](https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/suntech-stp-nt11-66qgdf-650) - 10 differences, the largest is rated power --- Source: https://comparepv.com/compare/suntech-stp-nt11-48qgdf-475/vsun-vsun475n-120bmh-dg-bb Not in this file, on the page: the thirty-year yield curve year by year at a cell temperature you pick and a written summary generated on request.
