Year 1 to year 25. Rated 455 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 455 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.

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.

Benchmark anchor. The 455 W exact current Australian model is scored; the sheet's asterisk and regulator's x are aliases. Scored model: LP182x210-M-48-NB-455W · checked 2026-08-27. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

17 of 17 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.
