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. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.

System decision

Australian system fit

Only exact, manufacturer-named Australian paths are shown. A shared brand, product family or output rating is not proof of compatibility.

Evidence state

Exact pairing not recorded

Exact pairing not recorded

No exact manufacturer-named inverter, battery or integrated-system pairing is recorded for Australia. This is a documentation state, not a finding that the product cannot be used in a system.

A documented relation does not establish site sizing, network approval, protected-load design, firmware state or installer acceptance. When no exact relation is recorded, compatibility remains unestablished in this catalogue.

Before you buy

Two things to check

Local positionUse a market view to check local availability, approvals and warranty scope.

Ask the installer: What usable capacity, backup power and warranted operating conditions will the installed Hybrid Battery Max BE21HV configuration deliver?

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

Benchmark anchor. Scored on the single-phase reference configuration, not the largest three-phase stack; the published range describes BE14HV through BE35HV. Scored model: RED-P1-BE21HV with RED-H3-S10HV · checked 2026-08-03. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

28 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.
