marks the better value on rows where a higher number is better. Temperature coefficient counts as higher when it is closer to zero. Size measures such as rated power carry no marker, because a larger product is a different choice rather than a better one.

| Certifications | The current Australian approved-module list includes Solahart440BRB3, Solahart450BRB3 and Solahart455BRB3 as bifacial modules, certificate PV 50658216, with approval through 3 June 2028., All three exact entries carry enhanced listings for IEC 62804 PID resistance, IEC 61701 salt-mist resistance, IEC 62716 ammonia resistance and LeTID resistance. | 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 | Australia; Solahart's current PV warranty expressly names the BRB3 family with 30-year product and linear performance coverage. It provides repair, replacement or fair-market-value remedies and pays technical inspection and transport to its nominated location. Dismantling and reinstallation are the customer's responsibility. The voluntary warranty is issued to the Original End-User and does not publish a PV-module ownership-transfer pathway. | Astronergy's current Australian warranty is published alongside the exact CHSM48RN(DG)/F-BH family. It provides repair, replacement or compensation remedies, conditional freight reimbursement and whole-warranty assignment after prior written notice while the modules remain at the original site. Removal and reinstallation are customer costs. |
| Warranty remedy | At Solahart's choice: remedy the defect, supply a replacement module, or repay the module's fair market value. A performance claim may instead receive repair, replacement modules or a wattage-difference payment. | At Astronergy's sole discretion: repair, replacement, or fair-market-value compensation for the warranted wattage at the time of claim. A performance claim may instead receive replacement modules. |
| Labour and reinstallation | The general PV-system labour benefit lasts five years, but the module terms make dismantling and reinstallation the customer's responsibility. No longer-term module labour reimbursement is provided. All module dismantling and reinstallation costs are the customer's responsibility. | No separate labour reimbursement is stated. The customer bears the costs of dis-installation, repacking, replacement installation and reinstallation. The customer bears the costs of dis-installation and repacking of the defective module, installation of replacement modules and reinstallation of repaired modules. |
| Freight | Solahart pays technical inspection and transport of defective or non-performing modules to its nominated location. The customer reimburses those costs when Solahart finds the module is not defective or a listed exclusion applies. | A return requires Astronergy's RMA. The customer pays return transport first; after an accepted claim, Astronergy reimburses invoiced reasonable return transport up to a written pre-agreed amount and bears reasonable delivery transport for the repaired or replacement product. Taxes, duties, insurance and excess or delay-related costs are excluded. |
| Transfer and registration | The voluntary PV warranty is issued to the Original End-User and its PV-module provisions do not provide an ownership-transfer mechanism. No PV-module registration condition is specified. The warranty period starts on the module invoice date and claims are routed through the local Solahart dealer. | The complete warranty may be assigned to a title holder after reasonable prior written notice. The modules must remain at the original site, Astronergy must have received full payment, and the new owner must accept the warranty if asked. No product-registration condition is stated. A claim must include model and serial details, installation information, proof of purchase and supporting evidence, and must be raised within 30 calendar days of discovery. |

| Review note | Solahart currently markets SOLAHART455BRB3 and its current governing PV warranty expressly names the BRB3 range. The review applies those terms only to the exact current 455 W model; commercial availability of the 440 W and 450 W approved codes remains unconfirmed. | 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.
