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.

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 is anchored to Solahart455BRB3, the highest current Australian approved bin and the model with exact technical evidence. Contractual warranty criteria are withheld. Scored model: Solahart455BRB3 · checked 2026-08-02. Evidence.
Sources & references · checked 2026-08-19
Strong evidence coverage
18 of 18 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.
Record correction. Solahart Silhouette SOLAHART455BRB3 datasheet June 2025 V3; current BRB3 governing warranty and exact CEC entries checked 2026-08-03 Re-verification 2026-08-18: salt mist recorded as certified without published severity from the Clean Energy Council enhanced listing for exact model SOLAHART455BRB3, under panel rubric v2.11.0 which added that band. LeTID re-verified 2026-08-19 for rubric v2.12.0: scored under the returned criterion on the evidence recorded in its provenance. Corrected 2026-08-19: the recorded primary_source resolved to a digital-asset-manager viewer page serving text/html, not a document, and no archived copy existed for this record at all. Replaced with the direct PDF, application/pdf, 210,828 bytes, verified %PDF and %%EOF and confirmed to contain the scored model SOLAHART455BRB3, 22.8% efficiency, the 6 x 16 n-type monocrystalline half-cell construction and the zero-busbar design this record already published. The figures were right; the citation pointed at a viewer shell.
