Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (605 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 605 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 605 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 | 599 W | 589 W | 577 W | 565 W | 553 W | 541 W |
| % of rated | 99.0% | 97.4% | 95.4% | 93.4% | 91.4% | 89.4% |

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 power bin in the retained market source. Scored model: GCL-NT10/72GDF-605 · checked 2026-08-06. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
16 of 16 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.

Rings, outside in: manufacturer claim, certified or regulator-listed, third-party source. The centre is review.solar's own measurement, empty for every product today. Warranty terms and design facts that rest on the maker's own word are counted beside the rings; a reviewed absence, or one that reaches beyond the maker's claim, stays in them. How the evidence puzzle works
Record correction. GCL Australian NT10/72GDF 600-605 datasheet and AU warranty Rev. 2024-EN-AU-CEC-VER.1.0 Corrected 2026-08-18: Cell technology tier set to TOPCon tier. The exact-model datasheet already established N-type TOPCon and the scoring field was simply empty, so the record was scoring its own missing-data floor. Multi-market warranty-terms recovery 2026-08-29: structured AU, US or IN overlay terms recovered or held from the exact governing instrument. First-market US and DE overlay review 2026-09-01: official regional catalogues recorded; Australian overlays and scores unchanged. US overlay recheck 2026-09-04: official United States surfaces still inaccessible or missing; held not_reviewed overlays restamped; existing non-US overlays and scores unchanged.

US Support Note
- Before
- us.gclsi.com does not resolve. No official United States catalogue was retrieved. The global EN NT10/72GDF page is not a United States sale path. Held is not unavailable.
- After
- us.gclsi.com does not resolve (a DNS lookup on 7 October 2026 found no such host). No official United States catalogue was retrieved. The maker site language selector lists English, Spanish, Portuguese, English (Australia), Japanese and Chinese sites, and the Global Layout section of the maker's contact page lists regional representatives for Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific/MEA and Japan. The global EN NT10/72GDF datasheet is not a United States sale path. Held is not unavailable.
DE Support Note
- Before
- de.gclsi.com fails TLS because the certificate is issued for en.gclsi.com. No German catalogue was retrieved. The global EN datasheet is not a German sale path. Held is not unavailable.
- After
- de.gclsi.com fails TLS because the certificate is issued for en.gclsi.com. With certificate verification disabled for diagnosis only, the host returned the same home and modules pages as en.gclsi.com on 7 October 2026, so no separate German catalogue was retrieved. The Global Layout section of the maker's contact page lists a Europe regional representative and names no German office or distributor. The global EN datasheet and the global warranty Rev. 2024-EN-VER 2.0 name the NT10/72GDF family, but neither sets German market terms; the global warranty mentions Germany only as the location of test institutes for technical disputes. Held is not unavailable.
AU Warranty scope
- Before
- The Australian warranty expressly names GCL-NT10/72GDFxxx and provides 12-year product and 30-year linear performance cover.
- After
- The Australian warranty expressly names GCL-NT10/72GDFxxx and provides 12-year product and 30-year linear performance cover. The maker publishes it in three Australian revisions (2024-EN-AU-CEC-VER.1.0, 2024-EN-AU-CEC-NS-VER.1.0 and 2025-EN-AU-CEC-NS-VER.1.0); each names GCL-NT10/72GDFxxx and states the same 12-year product and 30-year performance terms. The maker download centre lists the 2025 revision as Limited Warranty - AUS. Each revision states that it continues to be valid for modules dispatched from GCLSI's factories and installed in Australia until an updated version is officially issued.
AU Certifications
- Before
- The exact Australian sheet publishes IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certification. Current regulator-list inclusion was not separately established in this sprint.
- After
- The exact Australian sheet publishes IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certification. The CEC approved PV module list published by the Clean Energy Regulator, read from the export last modified 24 September 2026, lists GCL-NT10/72GDF600 and GCL-NT10/72GDF605 (IEC 61215-2021) with approval on 22 October 2025, expiry on 22 October 2028 and fire tested recorded as Yes.
