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

Roof fit before headline wattage

Published wattage is only useful beside module dimensions, roof geometry and the installer's string design.

02

Construction and climate exposure

Cell technology, glass construction, frame and load ratings can separate products that look similar in a model name.

03

Product warranty versus output promise

A long performance curve is not the same as parts, labour, freight or removal coverage. Read the actual remedy.

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.

Before signing

Questions for the quote

  1. Which exact model and wattage will be supplied, not just which brand?
  2. Does the quoted module fit the roof layout without sacrificing useful array capacity?
  3. Who pays for diagnosis, freight, removal and reinstallation if a claim succeeds?
  4. Is the warranty document written for Australia and the exact product family?

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