The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.

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. Capacity range describes supported configurations; the score remains anchored to the named reviewed reference configuration, not the largest stack. Scored model: HM6 with two 5.12 kWh modules (10.24 kWh nominal) · checked 2026-07-31. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-09-01

Strong evidence coverage

14 of 14 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. ESY SUNHOME HM5/HM6 datasheet v1.5 and AU single-phase warranty v4.5. First-market US and DE overlay review 2026-09-01: official regional catalogues recorded; Australian overlays and scores unchanged.
