This guide includes exact models with confirmed Australian availability, at least 50% direct criterion-level source coverage, and no unresolved product-specific safety notice. Scores remain global and do not establish suitability for a particular property.

Start with the decision

Three filters before the score

01

Match the scoring tier

Residential, small-commercial and C&I scores use different weightings and should not be compared across tier boundaries.

02

Design constraints decide suitability

Phase, MPPT count, string voltage, export controls and battery compatibility can rule a model in or out before score.

03

Support matters over operating life

Monitoring access, replacement process, local service capability and warranty extensions affect the ownership experience.

Score and evidence coverage

The score measures product performance under the published global rubric. Evidence coverage measures how many scored criteria carry a direct source URL. Neither measure should be read as a purchase recommendation.

Questions for the quote

  1. Is the exact model suitable for the property's phase, array layout and export requirements?
  2. Which battery and backup functions are native, optional or unavailable?
  3. Can the owner and a future installer access monitoring and service data?
  4. What local warranty term applies, and who handles diagnosis and replacement?

Record the exact model, configuration and warranty document in the contract. A brand family name is not enough to reproduce a comparison later.
