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 (-0.340 %/°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: Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 or Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575?
According to our database: Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575 has higher module efficiency (21.30% vs 21.20%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 and Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575?
Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 has a module efficiency of 21.20%, while Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575 is 21.30%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 use vs Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575?
Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 uses PERC cells; Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575 uses PERC. 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 Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 and Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575?
Trina Solar TSM-DE19-555 has a 25 years power warranty; Trina Solar TSM-DE19R-575 has a 25 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.
