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 seven-module configuration. Battery output, inverter AC output and replacement-power behavior are published separately. Scored model: S10 X 21 with seven battery modules · checked 2026-08-06. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-09-22

Strong evidence coverage

12 of 12 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. E3/DC X-Series technical sheet and HagerEnergy 120-month German warranty reviewed 2026-08-06. First-market US overlay review 2026-09-01: official United States catalogues recorded; existing Australian and German overlays and scores unchanged.

    DE Warranty conditions

    Current text
    labour: Unconditional full-term owner labour coverage was not established.; registration: Current July 2026 family policy: install within six months after manufacturer shipment; submit completed signed commissioning/service declaration within one month after first commissioning; maker issues certificate with system and battery serials. Current service guidance adds certified installer, photos and initial internet setup; continuous internet is recommended, not required. Confirm the instrument applicable to the actual delivery/installation; no retroactive replacement assumed.; remedy: Maker chooses repair or new/refurbished parts at its own expense; chosen onsite repair uses maker/authorised partner. Repairs and module additions do not restart the original term; module additions update the serial certificate. Relocation requires documentation and individually quoted inspection. Unconditional all-service-cost coverage is not established.; removal reinstallation: Unconditional removal and reinstallation coverage was not established.; transferability: An unrestricted later-owner transfer right was not established in the reviewed governing terms.; transport: Unconditional full-term freight coverage was not established.

    DE Warranty scope

    Before
    HagerEnergy GmbH provides 120 months for the S10 system including the battery, with an 80% usable-capacity endpoint subject to certified installation, documentation and connectivity conditions.
    After
    The current July 2026 S10-family policy grants 120 months including battery and 80% residual capacity against the technical sheet valid at delivery. Exact X21 serial certificate and applicable delivery-date instrument must be confirmed; this current policy is not assumed to replace older customer terms. Installation within six months of shipment and signed commissioning/service declaration within one month of first commissioning are prerequisites. No comparable energy-throughput entitlement is established.

    DE Support Note

    Before
    Internet is required for remote maintenance, yield control and the full system warranty. Exact behavior during portal or site-internet loss is not established.
    After
    Current service guidance requires certified installation, commissioning declaration/photos and initial internet setup; a permanent internet connection is recommended but explicitly not required. Exact behaviour during portal/site-internet loss remains unestablished. Conditional warranty exclusions include unregistered generation, grid services using the grid as source, unauthorised operating-mode/configuration changes and individual module retrofits later than 12 months after commissioning, unless the customer proves the specified cause was unrelated to the loss. Relocation even within the building requires new commissioning documentation/photos and maker inspection at individually quoted cost. No general VPP entitlement is inferred.
