Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (600 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 600 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Compounds this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures against its 600 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 (42°C) and temperature coefficient (-0.29%/°C), giving an estimated cell temperature of 58°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.
Benchmark anchor. The score uses the highest exact model in the current Australian family. The 595 W datasheet bin was not found in the current regulator export. Scored model: HY-DH144N8-600 · checked 2026-08-02. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
16 of 16 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.

US Warranty scope
- Current text
- United States; Runergy PV Module Limited Warranty version 4.3, effective 16 December 2024, and Ver US 4.4, effective 19 May 2026, are each scoped to Grade A modules sold and installed in the United States after their effective dates, and each names HY-DH144N8#-*** at 12-year product and 30-year peak-power cover, 1% first-year degradation, 0.40% each year after and 87.4% at the end. Runergy's global download page links Ver US 4.4, while the Runergy USA download page links version 4.3. Which version applies to a purchase depends on the sale date and contract, and this record does not decide it. The Australian global version 4.1 instrument on this record is not transferred.

AU Warranty scope
- Current text
- Runergy publishes two instruments that name HY-DH144N8#-*** on identical family terms. Global version 4.1, effective 20 January 2026, and Australia and New Zealand version 2.2, effective 15 December 2025, each give 12-year product workmanship cover and 30-year linear power cover, with 1% first-year degradation, 0.4% annual degradation thereafter and 87.4% guaranteed output at year 30. Version 2.2 applies to Grade A modules sold and installed in Australia and New Zealand and carries the Australian Consumer Law consumer-guarantee statement. Version 4.1 applies to the country or region named in the sales contract. Which instrument governs a given purchase depends on that contract and the effective dates, and this record does not decide it. The 25-year rooftop product term in version 2.2 sits on other model rows and is not transferred to HY-DH144N8.

DE Warranty conditions
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- labour: EU version 4.0 excludes installation, removal and reinstallation costs; it does not establish an installer labour allowance. Full-payment, intact identity-label and compliant installation/operation/maintenance conditions remain applicable.; registration: No separate product pre-registration requirement is stated in EU version 4.0. Claims must be received during the warranty period and submitted within 30 working days of discovering, or reasonably being expected to discover, the issue, by email or registered mail to the stated Runergy service contact. Include buyer identity/address, installer, model/serial, installation date/address, defect description and available photos/circuit diagrams/monitoring records, payment vouchers, purchase contracts and requested proof. Return modules only with prior written authorisation.; remedy: For product defects, Runergy chooses repair, replacement with Grade A modules or a refund based on fair market value when the claim is settled. For peak-power shortfall it chooses additional modules, replacement modules/parts or compensation for the difference between actual and warranted peak power. Remedies do not restart or extend the original term; a discontinued product may be replaced by another type with different size, colour, shape or power. In a dispute, Runergy selects a recognised international test institute first; fees and expenses fall to the losing party unless otherwise awarded.; removal reinstallation: Installation, removal and reinstallation costs are excluded. Coverage is excluded for modules removed and reinstalled on a different structure or at a different location. Replaced modules become Runergy property for disposal.; transferability: Transfer requires written notice to Runergy, full product payment and retention at the original installation location. Relocation to a different structure/site or outside the contractual delivery country/region is excluded.; transport: Reasonable, customary and documented sea-freight charges for return and reshipment of repaired/replaced modules are reimbursed only with prior Runergy customer-service authorisation. Returns also require prior written authorisation. Customs clearance and other return costs are excluded except for that stated freight reimbursement; unrestricted air/road freight is not established.
DE Warranty scope
- Current text
- Germany / Europe; Runergy EU warranty version 4.0, effective 16 December 2024, names HY-DH144N8#-*** (# may be blank, B or b; *** is rated power), including the separately established HY-DH144N8 600 W identity. It applies to Grade A modules sold and installed in Europe after the effective date, within the contractual delivery country/region unless otherwise agreed in writing. Table 1 gives 12-year base product cover and a conditional 15-year term only for European rooftop installations with a maximum capacity of 500 kW; no qualifying site is established for this listing. Peak-power cover is 30 years at 1% first-year and 0.40% annual degradation thereafter to 87.40%, measured at STC rather than field energy yield. Cover starts at the earlier of installation or three months after delivery under INCOTERMS 2020. The supplying Runergy entity under the sales contract is the warrantor; global version 4.1 and US version 4.3 are separate instruments.

A separate German warranty PDF naming HY-DH144N8 was not isolated from the download portal, so six-field terms are not attached from the datasheet graphic or from the Australian global version 4.1 instrument.

- de.runergy.com hosts the 580-600 W German datasheet that names the scored 600 W bin. The German N-type module listing prints DH144N8 as 560-585 Wp. That listing conflict is disclosed; the datasheet 580-600 W range governs the scored 600 W identity. The 560-585 Wp card is not transferred onto 600 W.
