What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (510 W) applied to the guaranteed floor; modular/format differences aside, this is the same rated-power spec shown above.
Modelled effective output, year by year
Year 1 to year 25. Rated 510 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.35%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 510 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.
| Year | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Watts | 505 W | 498 W | 489 W | 480 W | 471 W | 462 W |
| % of rated | 99.0% | 97.6% | 95.8% | 94.1% | 92.3% | 90.6% |

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 515 W datasheet bin is excluded because it is absent from the current Australian approval snapshot. Scored model: JKM510N-51QL6-DB · checked 2026-08-26. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
18 of 18 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.

- After
- The live German Tiger Neo 3.0 catalogue lists 48QL6-DB, 48QL6-DV, 48QL6-BDV and 66QL6-BDV sheets and does not name JKM510N-51QL6-DB. 48QL6 is not 51QL6. DB is not DV. The English 51QL6-BDV 490-520 W sheet is a different construction and is not transferred. IEC/DEKRA type ranges and the EU warranty table that name 51QL6-DB or 51QL6-DV are certification or warranty scope, not a German sale path. JKM515N-51QL6-DV is not transferred onto this record.
