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 (455 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. Rated 455 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 455 W rated (STC) output. This is a datasheet-derived estimate, not a field measurement or a warranty guarantee. Actual output also depends on site irradiance, temperature, soiling and system design.

Covered5 sources
Australian warranty scope: Australia; Solahart's current PV warranty expressly names the BRB3 family with 30-year product and linear performance coverage. It provides repair, replacement or fair-market-value remedies and pays technical inspection and transport to its nominated location. Dismantling and reinstallation are the customer's responsibility. The voluntary warranty is issued to the Original End-User and does not publish a PV-module ownership-transfer pathway.
Structured claim terms: Recorded.
- Term
- 30 yr product / 30 yr performanceStated in the structured comparison
- Product remedy
- ConditionalAt Solahart's choice: remedy the defect, supply a replacement module, or repay the module's fair market value. A performance claim may instead receive repair, replacement modules or a wattage-difference payment.
- Labour
- CoveredThe general PV-system labour benefit lasts five years, but the module terms make dismantling and reinstallation the customer's responsibility. No longer-term module labour reimbursement is provided.
- Freight
- CoveredSolahart pays technical inspection and transport of defective or non-performing modules to its nominated location. The customer reimburses those costs when Solahart finds the module is not defective or a listed exclusion applies.
- Removal and reinstallation
- Not statedAll module dismantling and reinstallation costs are the customer's responsibility.
- Transferability
- CoveredThe voluntary PV warranty is issued to the Original End-User and its PV-module provisions do not provide an ownership-transfer mechanism.
- Registration and conditions
- Not statedNo PV-module registration condition is specified. The warranty period starts on the module invoice date and claims are routed through the local Solahart dealer.
