Short answer: not as much as you think.
All Tier-1 panels will last 25-30 years with similar degradation rates (0.4-0.55% per year). The main differences:
Budget panels (₱4,500-5,000/panel): Seraphim, AE Solar — Great value per watt, proven PERC technology, best for homeowners on a budget who want the fastest payback.
Premium panels (₱6,000-8,000/panel): LONGi, JinkoSolar, Trina — Higher efficiency, N-Type TOPCon technology for better heat performance, best for limited roof space or maximum long-term production.
What Really Matters
Tier-1 certification — ensures quality standards and warranty backing
Inverter compatibility — your installer should match the panel string voltage to your inverter
Warranty — 25-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty is standard
Installer reputation — a great installer with a budget panel beats a bad installer with a premium panel
