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 and displayed range remain inside the exact source and market boundary recorded by the 13 August 2026 sprint. Scored model: B14400-H x5 · checked 2026-09-01. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

11 of 11 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.

    AU Warranty scope

    Current text
    Australia; the exact B14400-H datasheet states 12 years or a minimum energy throughput of 63.07 MWh, whichever occurs first. Rechecked 29 August 2026: the separate Australian warranty card still prints B14000-H rather than B14400-H, so detailed governing warranty terms remain held pending manufacturer correction.
