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 (745 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, at 30°C and 1000 W/m². Rated 745 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Compounds this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.3%/yr) degradation figures against its 745 W rated (STC) output, then derates for the ambient and irradiance selected. Output is scaled roughly linearly with irradiance (1000 W/m² against the 1000 W/m² STC reference). This is the dominant real-world effect at low light, whether from cloud, shading or soiling. Output is then further derated for heat, from this panel’s own NOCT (43°C) and temperature coefficient (-0.24%/°C), giving an estimated cell temperature of 59°C at that ambient and irradiance. A datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee: it does not account for this panel’s own low-light efficiency response (a separate, less-consistently-published spec), or for wind and system design. See NOCT and temperature coefficient in the glossary.

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

Strong evidence coverage
19 of 19 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.

Rings, outside in: manufacturer claim, certified or regulator-listed, third-party source. The centre is review.solar's own measurement, empty for every product today. Warranty terms and design facts that rest on the maker's own word are counted beside the rings; a reviewed absence, or one that reaches beyond the maker's claim, stays in them.

- Not previously recorded
- After
- labour: Not previously recorded; registration: No registration condition is stated in Revision A3[2024] (valid from 15 August 2024). A claim requires written notice within 2 months of identifying the defect, with evidence of the claim, the original proof of purchase and the serial numbers of the affected modules (clause 11).; remedy: Not previously recorded; removal reinstallation: Supplier is not responsible for costs related to removal, installation or reinstallation of modules (clause 11, Revision A3[2024], valid from 15 August 2024).; transferability: Transfers to a new legal owner who also takes the original proof of purchase, provided the modules remain in their original installation location and the purchaser has not breached the warranty before the transfer. A transfer does not change the warranty start date or periods (clause 8, Revision A3[2024], valid from 15 August 2024, listed on de.risen.com).; transport: After prior written authorization, Supplier is responsible for return shipment transport charges, customs clearance and other costs of returning modules, and for reshipment costs of repaired or replacement modules, based on the Incoterms previously adopted between Supplier and Purchaser (clause 11, Revision A3[2024], valid from 15 August 2024).

DE Warranty scope
- Current text
- Germany; the official German Hyper-ion Pro RSM132-8 page and IEC1500V 33mm 2025H2 family sheet name the series. The Risen limited warranty for n-type dual-glass modules, Revision A3[2024] (valid from 15 August 2024), listed on the German Risen download centre, names RSM132-8-xxxBHDG at 15-year product and 30-year power terms. The transferability, transport, removal and reinstallation, and registration terms are recorded in warranty_terms from that revision. Revision A2[2026] (valid from 10 July 2026), hosted by Risen Australia, carries the same transfer, transport and removal wording and is silent on registration. It adds that the purchaser disposes of out-of-use modules at its own cost unless the sales contract or mandatory law provides otherwise, and that Risen bears the transport cost if it elects to retrieve them. The remedy and labour terms are held: Revision A2[2026] states a different remedy, and which revision governs a German module is not publicly established.

AU Certifications
- Current text
- The CER approved PV module export of 24 September 2026 lists exact model RSM132-8-745BHDG (IEC 61215-2021) under Risen Energy Co Ltd, approved 21 January 2025 and expiring 21 January 2028, fire tested Yes.; The exact Australian series datasheet carries a TUV SUD qualification mark reading Qualified, IEC61215 and Qualified, IEC61730. This is a raster mark rather than searchable text, confirmed by rendering the datasheet page and inspecting the certification logo strip directly, not by extracting the document's text layer.

- Australia; the n-type dual-glass warranty names RSM132-8-xxxBHDG at 15-year product and 30-year performance terms in two revisions. Revision A1[2024], valid from 1 June 2024, promises repair or replacement at no charge for parts or labour, conditional return and reshipment costs, and transfer at the original site, and excludes removal and reinstallation. Revision A2[2026], hosted by Risen Australia and linked from the exact product page, valid from 10 July 2026, keeps the same durations, power terms, transfer conditions, return and reshipment cost cover and exclusion of removal and reinstallation. It lets Risen choose, at its sole discretion, among additional modules to cover a power gap, repair or replacement, or a refund of the lower of a residual value and the value of the output gap, priced at a market rate Risen determines, and it omits the no-charge-for-parts-or-labour sentence. It also states that the purchaser disposes of out-of-use modules at its own cost unless the sales contract or mandatory law provides otherwise. Each revision states that it applies to modules manufactured after its valid-from date and also that modules supplied during its tenure take its terms; which revision governs a given module is not publicly established from the documents alone.

Revision A2[2026] does not state the no-charge-for-parts-or-labour sentence and also excludes removal, installation and reinstallation costs; whether labour for Risen's own repair is covered under A2[2026] is not publicly established in the document.; registration: No product pre-registration requirement is stated. A claim requires proof of purchase, product and defect information, and prior authorization before return.; remedy: Revision A1[2024]: at Risen's choice, repair or replacement with a new or remanufactured equivalent. Revision A2[2026]: at Risen's sole discretion, additional modules to compensate for the power gap, repair or replacement, or a refund of the lower of a residual value (market price per watt at the time of claim x nominal power x remaining power-warranty fraction) and the value of the output gap.; removal reinstallation: Removal, installation and reinstallation costs are not covered.; transferability: Transfers to a new legal owner with the original proof of purchase while the modules remain at the original site and the prior owner has not breached the warranty.; transport: After prior return authorization, Risen covers return and reshipment costs according to the Incoterms previously used between supplier and purchaser.
