- Construction
- Dual-glass
Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (650 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 650 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 650 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.
| Year | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |

| Watts | 644 W | 634 W | 623 W | 612 W | 600 W | 589 W |
| % of rated | 99.0% | 97.6% | 95.8% | 94.1% | 92.3% | 90.6% |

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 uses the highest exact current rating established for the retained AU scope. Scored model: AIKO-G650-MCH72Dw · checked 2026-08-17. Evidence.
Sources & references · checked 2026-09-01
Strong evidence coverage
17 of 17 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.
Record revision. Built 2026-08-17 from AIKO's current exact datasheet (V4.1 202510), retrieved and text-extracted locally rather than read from the product page, because AIKO's product pages and its own datasheets disagree on published bands. The sheet ladder spans 635-660 W; the retained Australian range is 635-650 W because the CER approved-module export checked 2026-08-12 lists MCH72Dw only across that band, expiring 2027-07-12. First-market US and DE overlay review 2026-09-01: official regional catalogues recorded; Australian overlays and scores unchanged.

DE Warranty scope
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- Germany; no German warranty naming AIKO-G650-MCH72Dw was attached, so six-field terms are not transferred from the Australian N-Type ABC instrument.

- aikosolar.com/de/products/stellar-1nplus72-dual-glass/ stays on the German host and names STELLAR 1N+72 Doppelglas 635W-660W. The linked German datasheet names AIKO-G650-MCH72Dw. Stellar 1N+66 is a different identity and is not transferred. Manufacturer listing is established; distributor inventory is not inferred.
