According to our database: TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 has higher module efficiency (23.30% vs 22.80%); TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.280%/°C vs -0.290%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 and TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455?
TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 has a module efficiency of 23.30%, while TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455 is 22.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 use vs TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455?
TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 uses N-type cells; TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455 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 TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 and TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455?
TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 has a 30 years power warranty; TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455 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 TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 and TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455 bifacial panels?
Both TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND66-GK725 and TCL Zhonghuan HSM-ND48-GR455 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.
