| Certifications | The current AU-hosted datasheet for the exact 48QL6-DV family specifies IEC 61215:2021 and IEC 61730:2023, plus IEC 61701, IEC 62716, IEC 60068 and IEC 62804. | Astronergy Australia's download centre identifies the exact ASTRO N7s CHSM48RN(DG)/F-BH series as CEC approved; its datasheet publishes IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. |
| Warranty scope | Jinko's current AU/NZ monofacial warranty covers JKMxxxN-48QL6-DV modules sold or delivered to Australia and New Zealand under purchase agreements signed from 10 December 2025: 25-year product warranty and 30-year linear power warranty, with 1.0% first-year and 0.35% annual degradation terms. | The exact Australian datasheet publishes 30-year product and linear power warranties. |

| Review note | Jinko Solar Australia's current product catalogue lists Tiger Neo III 48QL6-DV at 460-485 W and its current AU datasheet contains the exact 475 W electrical row. This establishes local product availability and IEC certification evidence; installers must still confirm the applicable CEC approved-products and DNSP requirements for a proposed installation. | The exact 455-475 W family is published by Astronergy Australia. |

These checks sit beside the benchmark score. They are site, tariff and contract questions that no product score can settle.
Ask for every model number to appear on the quote and order. The Clean Energy Council product lists are live: STC creation requires listed products at installation, and network requirements may also depend on current approval.
Have the retailer state the supply phase, inverter connection limit, export limit and any export-control cost. The local network connection agreement, not a generic datasheet, determines those settings. See the Australian Government's connection guidance.
Ask which bills or interval data, tariff, feed-in rate, export limit and future loads support the savings and payback claim. Self-consumed electricity and tariff timing usually matter more than a headline feed-in rate. See the system sizing and battery savings guidance.
Match the exact module model number, power class and label to the final design. Then check the proposed array size, roof layout, inverter limit and any export control as one system.
Keep the retailer, installer, manufacturer warranty and escalation path in the contract. Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply separately from any manufacturer warranty; where one business supplied both product and installation, it is generally responsible for the remedy. See the ACCC guidance.
A score lead is only meaningful inside this shared class or tier. Weigh it against the specification and evidence rows above before deciding.
Both products are scored in the Global Tier-1 class, on the same rubric weighting. Scores are not comparable across classes or tiers. Full methodology.
