Market context

Global evidencechange in the site menu

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 current power bin named on the SOFAR India product catalogue V1.5 and the en-IND 3.3-12KTLX-G3 datasheet. 10KTLX-G3-A is a sibling variant. 6KTLM-G3 is a different identity. Scored model: 12KTLX-G3 · checked 2026-09-03. Evidence.

Sources & references · checked 2026-09-03

Strong evidence coverage

24 of 24 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.

    IN Support Note

    Current text
    Listed on SOFAR's Indian product portfolio as SOFAR 3.3-12KTLX-G3. The official SOFAR India product catalogue V1.5 (31 July 2025) and the en-IND 3.3-12KTLX-G3 datasheet V1.3 name SOFAR 12KTLX-G3. India has no public per-model BIS register, so registration is not independently verified here. Manufacturer listing is established; distributor inventory is not inferred. 6KTLM-G3, HYD 6000-EP and HYD 6000-ES are different identities and are not transferred. SOFAR publishes a corporate product-security disclosure policy and report template. Exact 12KTLX-G3 firmware signing, secure boot and minimum security-update lifetime remain unestablished. Corporate disclosure timelines are not an exact-model repair guarantee.

    The previous text is not reproduced here: both versions run to a full research paragraph. Both are in the JSON record linked below.
