The data
Capacity guarantee: minimum retained at year 10
No year-by-year capacity schedule is published for this product - the manufacturer guarantees only this end-of-term minimum, not a specific decline curve. Capacity figure based on the sourced usable capacity of the base configuration; modular systems scale with additional modules.
Two things to check
Ask the installer: What usable capacity, backup power and warranted operating conditions will the installed Smile G3 S5 BAT-9.3S configuration deliver?
