The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score.

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 exact currently documented H10S and B8900M-HA combination; the newer B14400-H is not inferred into this record. Scored model: A10000S with two B8900M-HA modules · checked 2026-07-31. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

19 of 19 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.

How far the evidence reaches

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.

    AU Warranty scope

    Current text
    Australia; B8900M-HA receives a 10-year product and performance warranty, with throughput and operating conditions. The published battery warranty excludes installation, removal and reinstallation labour. The A10000S inverter is covered by a separate 10-year Hinen inverter warranty card (Australia), which requires claims within 4 weeks of the failure giving rise to the claim and states that the warranty period will be shortened for products not connected to the internet, as determined by Hinen and the approved installer.

    The previous text is not reproduced here: both versions run to a full research paragraph. Both are in the JSON record linked below.

    AU Warranty conditions

    Current text
    labour: Installation and service labour are excluded.; registration: The model-specific battery card starts cover at first installation or six months after manufacture, whichever is earlier. Visible defects require immediate notice; other defects require written notice within ten days of discovery. Claims require serial number, dated receipt, signed installation protocol and use/defect details. Internet monitoring is required; report outages, retain local data where possible and provide qualified onsite inspection/data for unconnected claims.; remedy: Repair or replacement of defective parts at Hinen's discretion under the model-specific battery warranty card (V3.0), which names B8900M-HA. Where no signed sales contract exists, Hinen's general service commitment applies together with the card; it lists a B8900M-A series rather than B8900M-HA and offers new-equipment replacement in the first warranty year. Which document prevails where they differ is not publicly established.; removal reinstallation: Removal and reinstallation are excluded.; transferability: Transfers automatically with the building while the system remains installed.; transport: Freight entitlement is unresolved: the model-specific battery card includes reasonable freight for valid claims, but also excludes shipping in its Warranty Obligations and permits return at the claimant’s expense. The general service commitment states that Hinen takes on logistics costs during the warranty period only in the country of original sale, and the customer pays customs clearance costs. These conflicting clauses need clarification; neither unconditional coverage nor blanket exclusion is established.
