Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 or Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+?
According to our database: Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 has higher module efficiency (24.40% vs 23.50%); Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.260%/°C vs -0.280%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 and Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 has a module efficiency of 24.40%, while Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+ is 23.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 use vs Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 uses TOPCon cells; Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+ 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-660 and Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+?
Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 has a 30 years power warranty; Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+ 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-660 and Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+ bifacial panels?
Both Suntech STP-NT11/66QGDF-660 and Suntech STP730S-D66-Nsh+ 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.
