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.

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 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.
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.
