Specifications Breakdown
Module Efficiency
Both the Boviet Solar Vega 460W and Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV share identical 22% module efficiency, producing comparable power per unit area. The Boviet Solar Vega 460W generates 230.2 W/m² while the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV generates 227.9 W/m² based on their respective panel dimensions. With matched efficiency, neither panel holds a density advantage for space-constrained rooftop installations, so other factors like warranty coverage and temperature performance become the deciding metrics.
Power Output
The Boviet Solar Vega 460W delivers 460W per panel versus 445W for the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV, a 15W difference per module. To build an 8 kW residential system, you would need 18 Boviet Solar Vega 460W panels or 18 Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV panels. Despite the per-panel wattage difference, both require the same number of panels for this system size due to rounding. Higher wattage per panel is particularly valuable for commercial-scale installations where panel count directly impacts balance-of-system costs.
Temperature Coefficient
Both panels share an identical temperature coefficient of -0.29%/°C, meaning they lose power at the same rate as cell temperature rises above the 25°C standard test baseline. At 65°C cell temperature, both retain 94.2% of rated power. Neither panel has a thermal performance advantage, which makes this specification a non-factor in the comparison.
Warranty Coverage
The Boviet Solar Vega 460W is backed by a 15-year product warranty and 30-year performance guarantee, while the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV offers 15-year product and 30-year performance coverage. Both offer identical product warranty duration. Based on their published degradation rates (1% first year then 0.4%/year for Boviet Solar Vega 460W; 1% first year then 0.4%/year for Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV), after 25 years the Boviet Solar Vega 460W should retain approximately 89.4% of original output versus 89.4% for the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV. The end-of-life output levels are closely matched.
Physical Dimensions & Weight
The Boviet Solar Vega 460W measures 1762×1134×30mm and weighs 23.5 kg, while the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV measures 1722×1134×30mm at 21.5 kg. 2.00 m² of panel area for the Boviet Solar Vega 460W versus 1.95 m² for the Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV. The Seraphim SRP-445-BMA-HV is 2.0 kg lighter per panel, which reduces structural load requirements on the roof and makes handling easier during installation. For a 20-panel system, that is a total weight difference of 40 kg. Similar footprints mean both panels fit comparably on standard residential rooftop configurations.
