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. Website-only 3.68, 4.6 and 5.5 kW bins are not scored. HYD 6000-ES is a different identity. Scored model: HYD 6000-EP · checked 2026-09-02. Evidence.

25 of 25 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.
