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 TWMNH-48HW470 or Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740?
According to our database: Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 23.50%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 and Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 has a module efficiency of 23.50%, while Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 is 23.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 use vs Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 uses N-type cells; Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 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 Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 and Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 has a 30 years power warranty; Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 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 TWMNH-48HW470 and Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 bifacial panels?
Tongwei TWMNF-66HD740 is bifacial (captures light from both faces); Tongwei TWMNH-48HW470 is monofacial. Bifacial panels work best on ground mounts or raised structures with a light-coloured surface underneath.
