Australian market | Living benchmark

Available in Australia is not the same as ready for an Australian buying decision.

The catalogue currently records 181 active products with an available Australian overlay. 122 have been admitted to the stricter purchase-priority evidence gate, 120 clear every current publication check, and 2 remain visible but held. This report rebuilds from the dataset, so those numbers move with the evidence rather than waiting for an editorial rewrite.

The gate

Six checks sit between an available product and a buyer-ready record.

Evidence before recommendation

A local route alone is not enough

1. 01
   Exact identity

   The reviewed model or configuration must match the product record. A family resemblance cannot carry a certificate, warranty or safety fact.

2. 02
   Local availability

   The Australian overlay must establish a current local route. It does not promise live distributor stock.

3. 03
   Certification

   The relevant local approval or certification evidence must be named and sourced.

4. 04
   Warranty

   The local term and its scope must apply to the reviewed identity. Conditions and unresolved conflicts remain visible.

5. 05
   Safety

   An active exact-model regulator notice holds publication regardless of score, approval or evidence coverage.

6. 06
   Source coverage

   At least half of the active scoring criteria must link directly to evidence. The current release is materially stronger than that minimum.

The 26 August tranche

11 records moved into buyer-ready publication. 1 stayed in review.

The conversion covers exact products already present in the benchmark. It adds no new product score and no public system-pairing claim. Three Jinko records were refreshed from expired unsuffixed certificate rows to their current IEC 61215-2021 variants. The older 435 W family record did not inherit that state.

1. AlphaESS Smile G3 S5 / BAT-10.1P Battery

   Warranty scope

   Australia; the 11 October 2024 warranty names SMILE-G3-S5 and BAT-10.1P with a ten-year term, 70% retained capacity and a 3.12 MWh/kWh throughput condition for eligible installations from 1 November 2024.

Safety override

A passing score and a current approval cannot cancel an active recall.

The records below remain discoverable because hiding them would remove useful evidence. They do not receive the buyer-ready label while the exact-model safety state is active.

• GoodWe GW9.99K-EHB-AU-G11: A current regulator safety notice applies to this exact model. Regulator notice.
• GoodWe MS G3: A current regulator safety notice applies to this exact model. Regulator notice.

How to use it

Start with the score, then read the local state as a separate layer.

A score compares published product evidence under one global rubric. Buyer readiness asks whether the exact local record is complete enough to support an Australian shortlist today. Neither can decide roof layout, network approval, installation quality, live stock or price. Use the Australian market register to inspect the full local cohort, then carry exact product identities into Quote Check.
