Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (740 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, at 30°C and 1000 W/m². Rated 740 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Compounds this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.3%/yr) degradation figures against its 740 W rated (STC) output, then derates for the ambient and irradiance selected. Output is scaled roughly linearly with irradiance (1000 W/m² against the 1000 W/m² STC reference). This is the dominant real-world effect at low light, whether from cloud, shading or soiling. Output is then further derated for heat, from this panel’s own NOCT (43°C) and temperature coefficient (-0.254%/°C), giving an estimated cell temperature of 59°C at that ambient and irradiance. A datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee: it does not account for this panel’s own low-light efficiency response (a separate, less-consistently-published spec), or for wind and system design. See NOCT and temperature coefficient in the glossary.

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 published power bin in the series. The Australian approved-module list carries zero Golden Solar rows, so no market-scoped range is published. Scored model: JGDN132-740 · checked 2026-08-18. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
15 of 15 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. How the evidence puzzle works
Record revision. Built 2026-08-18 from Golden Solar's Chinese-language JGDN132 datasheet, version marked 组件参数 V1.1_CN. Read from a render: the text layer emits the three temperature coefficients out of label order and will mislead a parse that trusts sequence. Cell type is given verbatim as HJT132 half-cut, N-type monocrystalline. Sourcing hazard recorded: the cover page carries a marketing bullet reading bifaciality up to 95%, and the mechanical table carries NO bifaciality row at all, so no bifaciality value is recorded here. Two independent research passes reported that 95% as a specification; it is not one. Domain caution: the company website printed on the datasheet is goldensolarcorp.com; the legacy goldenglass.com.cn is NXDOMAIN and now resolves to an unrelated firm, so any citation pointing there is poisoned. First-market overlay review 2026-08-30: AU, US and DE overlays recorded from official regional surfaces; scores and identities unchanged.

AU Support Note
- Current text
- The CER approved-module export read on 7 October 2026 (last modified 2 October 2026, 4,700 rows) carries no Golden Solar or JGDN rows, and the 24 September 2026 export carries none. CER absence alone is not converted to unavailable. Golden Solar's product page is titled JGDN132-0BB HJT Bifacial Module 710W~740W, its English datasheet JG-EN-2024V1.2 prints JGDN132-0BB above the JGDN132-710 to JGDN132-740 table, and the scored Chinese sheet V1.1_CN prints JGDN132-0BB on its cover, so the 0BB name belongs to this range. A separate Golden Solar datasheet for JGDN132 695 W to 730 W modules with super MBB cells reuses the codes JGDN132-710 to JGDN132-730 with open-circuit voltages 0.10 V lower, so a listing that shows only those codes does not identify this module. The maker's public warranty is a global summary (Enhanced Limited Warranty, Heterojunction 2024 Rev 1.0) that sets no Australian terms, and no Australian distributor or service channel is named in the maker pages read.

DE Support Note
- Before
- No German listing naming JGDN132-710 through JGDN132-740 was recovered. goldensolarcorp.com names JGDN132-0BB, which is not JGDN132-710 through JGDN132-740. The 0BB suffix is not this identity.

- A German-language datasheet published by the distributor Janergy GmbH (JG-DE-2025V1.1, marked ©2025 Golden Solar, footer Goldensolar GmbH at Janergy's Bad Honnef address) and Golden Solar's English sheet JG-EN-2025V1.1, which names Janergy GmbH as Golden Solar Europe, both cover JGDN132-710 through JGDN132-740 under the heading JGDN132-0BB. These 2025 sheets differ from the scored 2024 sheet: 33 mm frame (35 mm), 37.5 kg (38.5 kg), Pmax temperature coefficient -0.242 %/K (-0.254 %/C) and cover bifaciality up to 90% (up to 95%). An IEC 61215 or IEC 61730 certificate naming the model and a German warranty document naming it are not publicly established; the maker's global warranty summary sets no German terms, and Janergy's own sales terms (25 November 2024) state different guarantee periods.

Golden Solar's product page is titled JGDN132-0BB HJT Bifacial Module 710W~740W and its English datasheet JG-EN-2024V1.2 prints JGDN132-0BB above the JGDN132-710 to JGDN132-740 table; a separate Golden Solar datasheet for JGDN132 695 W to 730 W modules reuses the codes JGDN132-710 to JGDN132-730 with open-circuit voltages 0.10 V lower. The only public warranty document found is the global summary (Enhanced Limited Warranty, Heterojunction 2024 Rev 1.0), which sets no United States terms.
