Questions about this pairing
Which panel is better: Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 or Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755?
According to our database: Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 has higher module efficiency (24.30% vs 23.70%); Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 tolerates heat better (temp coeff -0.260%/°C vs -0.290%/°C). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 and Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755?
Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 has a module efficiency of 23.70%, while Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 is 24.30%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 use vs Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755?
Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 uses TOPCon cells; Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 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 Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 and Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755?
Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 has a 30 years power warranty; Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 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 Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 and Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 bifacial panels?
Both Trina Solar TSM-NEG19RC.70-640 and Trina Solar TSM-NEG21C.20Q-755 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.
