How this is modelled

Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.35%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 670 W rated (STC) output. This is a datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee. Actual output also depends on site irradiance, temperature, soiling and system design.

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 is anchored to the highest published rating in this exact series. Scored model: JKM650-670N-66QL6-BDV-F4-EU · checked 2026-06-16. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-08-19

Strong evidence coverage

21 of 28 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 correction. Corrected 2026-08-18: the record scored a guaranteed end-of-warranty output of 87.40%, attributed to the exact datasheet. That datasheet does not contain the figure. Its only end-of-warranty value is 88.85%, and it publishes the matching 1% first-year and 0.35% annual rates on the same line; 87.40% is what Jinko's warranty assigns to its half-cell HL4 and HL5 families, not to this quarter-cell QL6 model, whose warranty row reads 0.35% and 88.85%. The record also held the correct 0.35% rate, so its two values could not both be true: 1% in year one then 0.35% for twenty-nine years arrives at 88.85%. The value was carried in both specs and specs_v4, and specs_v4 takes precedence when the two are merged for scoring, so correcting only the first would have changed nothing. No evidence changed; the score rises from 77.0 to 78.0 because a guarantee both the datasheet and the warranty publish is now recorded correctly. Corrected 2026-08-19: LeTID recorded from the datasheet's own "superior resistance to PID, LID / LeTID" statement, previously logged as not stated. Manufacturer claim, no test cited. No score changes: the field is unscored. LeTID re-verified 2026-08-19 for rubric v2.12.0: scored under the returned criterion on the evidence recorded in its provenance. Re-verification 2026-08-19: Verified reliability recorded as "Brand or series independently tested; exact model not covered" under panel rubric v2.13.0, which added a band for brand or series evidence where the exact model is not covered by the third-party record.

    Corrected 2026-08-18: the record carried 87.40% guaranteed output at year 30, which is the figure Jinko's warranty assigns to its half-cell HL4 and HL5 families, not to this quarter-cell QL6 model. The warranty row for JKMxxxN-66QL6-BDV reads 0.35% annual decline and 88.85% at year thirty, and the record already carried the matching 0.35% rate, so the two values it held could not both be true: 1% in year one followed by 0.35% for twenty-nine years arrives at 88.85%, not 87.40%. No evidence changed and no other value changed; the score rises from 77.0 to 78.0 because a guarantee the manufacturer does publish is now recorded correctly.
