What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (550 W) applied to the guaranteed floor; modular/format differences aside, this is the same rated-power spec shown above.
Modelled effective output, year by year
Year 1 to year 25. Rated 550 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.35%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 550 W rated (STC) output. This is a datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee. Actual output also depends on site irradiance, temperature, soiling and system design.

Market context
Global evidencechange in the site menu
Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.
Benchmark anchor. The score is anchored to the 550 W highest exact AU bin. The public product-warranty baseline is 15 years; longer terms require a paid extension. Scored model: AIKO-A550-MCE60Dw · checked 2026-08-07. Evidence.
Australian warranty decision
1 product record
Read the Australian warranty as a claim pathway: the headline term is separate from remedy, labour, freight, site work, transfer and registration conditions.

Australian evidence checked 2026-08-07.
Covered6 sources
Australian warranty scope: Australia; warranty 1.6.3 explicitly names AIKO-Axxx-MCE60Dw. The standard product term is 15 years and the performance term is 30 years to 88.85%. The ANZ datasheet's 25-year product term requires the paid Class III extension to be recorded in the sales contract and a separate paid warranty agreement.
Structured claim terms: Recorded.
- Term
- 15 yr product / 30 yr performanceStated in the structured comparison
- Product remedy
- CoveredAt AIKO's choice: repair, replacement or additional modules, residual-value refund, or payment for a warranted power shortfall.
- Labour
- ConditionalAIKO may perform its chosen repair, but the voluntary warranty does not promise reimbursement of independent site labour.
- Freight
- ConditionalAIKO bears inspection freight only when responsible. Remedy freight and related costs otherwise follow the original sales-contract destination and Incoterms.
- Removal and reinstallation
- Not statedRemoval, repacking, installation and reinstallation costs are borne by the customer.
- Transferability
- ConditionalTransfer requires AIKO approval and a tripartite agreement. The modules must remain at the original site, all amounts must be paid and the new owner must accept the complete warranty.
- Registration and conditions
- Not statedThe standard 15-year term has no product pre-registration requirement. Paid 20- or 25-year extensions must be recorded at sale and supported by a separate paid warranty agreement.

Strong evidence coverage
25 of 25 scored criteria link directly to a published source.
Values marked estimated, derived, or not found remain visible on the audit sheet and do not carry the same evidential weight as a linked source. Coverage measures direct links, not an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
