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 (-0.280 %/°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: Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 or Tongwei TWMND-72HD580?
According to our database: Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 22.50%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 and Tongwei TWMND-72HD580?
Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 has a module efficiency of 23.80%, while Tongwei TWMND-72HD580 is 22.50%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 use vs Tongwei TWMND-72HD580?
Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 uses TOPCon cells; Tongwei TWMND-72HD580 uses N-type. 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 Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 and Tongwei TWMND-72HD580?
Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 has a 30 years power warranty; Tongwei TWMND-72HD580 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 Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 and Tongwei TWMND-72HD580 bifacial panels?
Both Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 and Tongwei TWMND-72HD580 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.
