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 (-0.386 %/°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 WS-335 or Waaree WS-345?
According to our database: Waaree WS-345 has higher module efficiency (17.32% vs 16.82%). See the full spec comparison and 30-year energy simulation above for a complete picture.
What is the efficiency of Waaree WS-335 and Waaree WS-345?
Waaree WS-335 has a module efficiency of 16.82%, while Waaree WS-345 is 17.32%. Higher efficiency means more electricity from the same roof area - useful when space is limited.
What cell technology does Waaree WS-335 use vs Waaree WS-345?
Waaree WS-335 uses Polycrystalline cells; Waaree WS-345 uses Polycrystalline. 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 WS-335 and Waaree WS-345?
Waaree WS-335 has a 25 years power warranty; Waaree WS-345 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.
