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 (-0.260 %/°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: Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 or Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670?
According to our database: Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 has higher module efficiency (24.80% vs 23.70%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 and Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 has a module efficiency of 23.70%, while Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 is 24.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 use vs Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 uses TOPCon cells; Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 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-NT11/66QGDF-640 and Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 has a 30 years power warranty; Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 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-NT11/66QGDF-640 and Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 bifacial panels?
Both Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-640 and Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-670 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.
