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: Waaree Bi-66-600 or Waaree Bi-68-665?
According to our database: Waaree Bi-68-665 has higher module efficiency (21.29% vs 21.06%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Waaree Bi-66-600 and Waaree Bi-68-665?
Waaree Bi-66-600 has a module efficiency of 21.06%, while Waaree Bi-68-665 is 21.29%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Waaree Bi-66-600 use vs Waaree Bi-68-665?
Waaree Bi-66-600 uses PERC cells; Waaree Bi-68-665 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 Waaree Bi-66-600 and Waaree Bi-68-665?
Waaree Bi-66-600 has a 30 years power warranty; Waaree Bi-68-665 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 Waaree Bi-66-600 and Waaree Bi-68-665 bifacial panels?
Both Waaree Bi-66-600 and Waaree Bi-68-665 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.
