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 (1000W/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.

Australian warranty scope: Australia; the n-type dual-glass warranty covers exact RSM132-8 BHDG models with 15-year product and 30-year performance terms. It promises repair or replacement parts and labour, conditional return and reshipment costs, transfer at the original site, and excludes removal and reinstallation.
Structured claim terms: Recorded.
- Term
- 15 yr product / 30 yr performanceStated in the structured comparison
- Product remedy
- CoveredAt Risen's choice: repair or replacement with a new or remanufactured equivalent.
- Labour
- Not coveredParts and labour for Risen's repair or replacement remedy are covered, but site removal and installation work are excluded.
- Freight
- CoveredAfter prior return authorization, Risen covers return and reshipment costs according to the Incoterms previously used between supplier and purchaser.
- Removal and reinstallation
- Not coveredRemoval, installation and reinstallation costs are not covered.
- Transferability
- CoveredTransfers 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.
- Registration and conditions
- Not statedNo product pre-registration requirement is stated. A claim requires proof of purchase, product and defect information, and prior authorization before return.
