Year 1 to year 25. Rated 475 W at STC.

How this is modelled

Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 475 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: JKM475N-48HL4M-DB · checked 2026-06-16. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-08-19

Strong evidence coverage

26 of 27 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. Exact family documentation reviewed 2026-08-06 Re-verification 2026-08-18: ammonia resistance recorded from the Clean Energy Council enhanced listing for exact model JKM475N-48HL4M-DB, matched on exact model identity rather than brand or series. Salt mist is also enhanced-listed for this model but the rubric bands salt mist by severity and the regulator publishes none, so it remains unset. Re-verification 2026-08-18: salt mist recorded as certified without published severity from the Clean Energy Council enhanced listing for exact model JKM475N-48HL4M-DB, under panel rubric v2.11.0 which added that band. Corrected 2026-08-19: LeTID recorded from the datasheet's own LID/LeTID statement, previously logged as not stated. Architectural claim about the cell platform, not a product-specific test. 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.
