What it means on a roof
Thirty years of production
A 1.0% first-year loss then 0.40% a year, assumed for both panels, 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-48HC or Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial?
According to our database: Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial has higher module efficiency (23.80% vs 16.66%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Tongwei TWMNH-48HC and Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HC has a module efficiency of 16.66%, while Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial is 23.80%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Tongwei TWMNH-48HC use vs Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HC uses TOPCon cells; Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial 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-48HC and Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial?
Tongwei TWMNH-48HC has a 30 years power warranty; Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial 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-48HC and Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial bifacial panels?
Both Tongwei TWMNH-48HC and Tongwei THC G12-66 Bifacial 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.
