Solar Analytica Data carries the publication's B2B data reports and dataset releases. These are the more technical or commercial outputs built on the same sourced benchmark data as the public scorecards. No standalone B2B report has published under this byline yet.

Two Trina panels both say 515 W. One reaches it on 6% less roof.

The Vertex S+ NEG18R.25 and Australia-exclusive Vertex S+ G3 share a 515 W headline and the same warranty duration. Their area, efficiency, heat response, rear-load rating and evidence depth are not the same.

58% of active benchmark criteria have a direct source link.

A living audit of criterion-level source linkage across 135 active products. It separates catalogue size from evidence depth and shows where the benchmark is strong, moderate, limited or minimal.

The blackout test: 21 home batteries judged on one question.

A home battery's overall score does not tell you what happens when the grid fails. This separate, source-backed benchmark isolates outage resilience across 21 systems: backup coverage, switch-over continuity, motor-start evidence and power depth. Powerwall 3 leads the current fleet at 91.6; the median is 72.8.

A global score is not an Australian shopping list.

The global benchmark and a local buying decision answer different questions. In Australia, 87 of 108 exact models have a reviewed market outcome, 64 have recorded availability, and 16 clear the buyer-evidence threshold. This reference separates those layers so an international score is never mistaken for proof of local supply, warranty scope or grid fit.

The sunniest market is not the fastest solar payback.

A frozen 40-market model separates solar resource, generation cost and household payback. Alice Springs leads modelled payback at 2.2 years gross and 1.7 years net, Lhasa has the lowest modelled LCOE, and Cairo shows why high yield alone does not create household value. A wider 64-location leaderboard adds 24 resource-benchmark sites: its overall champion, Calama, carries a soiling caveat the market leaderboard's Alice Springs does not.
