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 (-0.300 %/°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: TN Solar TN5-54H-380 or TN Solar TN5-54H-385?
According to our database: TN Solar TN5-54H-385 has higher module efficiency (19.72% vs 19.49%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of TN Solar TN5-54H-380 and TN Solar TN5-54H-385?
TN Solar TN5-54H-380 has a module efficiency of 19.49%, while TN Solar TN5-54H-385 is 19.72%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does TN Solar TN5-54H-380 use vs TN Solar TN5-54H-385?
TN Solar TN5-54H-380 uses TOPCon cells; TN Solar TN5-54H-385 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 TN Solar TN5-54H-380 and TN Solar TN5-54H-385?
TN Solar TN5-54H-380 has a 30 years power warranty; TN Solar TN5-54H-385 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.

Every figure here is from the manufacturers' own datasheets - a dash means the value is not published, never an estimate. The thirty-year projection and the temperature scenarios are calculations from those figures, and each states its assumption above.
