Power-factor evidence; mixed surge protection and backup limits. The scored MIN 6000TL-XH2 publishes an adjustable power factor from 0.8 leading to 0.8 lagging. The AU certificate EESS-230870-2 names that exact XH2 model and repeats the range against AS/NZS 4777.2:2020 with amendments A1 and A2. This supports Q(U) compliance under the existing assessment; it does not establish the higher Q(P) response band, a live VPP service or independently reviewed test traces. The certificate names software AL 1.0, so the installed firmware and commissioned settings still need their own confirmation. Its 8 November 2028 certificate expiry does not replace the separately recorded 10 July 2027 Australian product-listing expiry or prove renewal. The datasheet specifies DC Type II and AC Type III surge protection. Neither Type II on both sides nor DC-only protection describes that mixed arrangement, so its score remains withheld rather than treating the protection as absent. A separate Backup Box is required for backup; this evidence does not establish transfer time, surge output or islanding scope. The 6 kW single-phase benchmark and existing market and warranty boundaries are retained. Semiconductor material remains unestablished. Source 1.Source 2.

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 is anchored to MIN 6000TL-XH2, the highest rated model in the exact Australian 2.5-6.0 kW family. Battery compatibility is limited to APX S0; backup claims are withheld without exact system evidence. Scored model: MIN 6000TL-XH2 · checked 2026-08-02. 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.
