How this is modelled

Compounds this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures against its 650 W rated (STC) output, then derates for the ambient and irradiance selected. Output is scaled roughly linearly with irradiance (1000W/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 (45°C) and temperature coefficient (-0.29%/°C), giving an estimated cell temperature of 61°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.

    The exact scored model SS9-60HD-650N is not named on ALMM List-I revision 03.08.2026. ALMM is a domestic-content and procurement instrument; absence is not a quality finding and does not change the global score. A manufacturer catalogue is not a substitute for List-I.

    EU Warranty conditions

    Current text
    labour: Removal and reinstallation are borne by the customer.; registration: No separate product-registration portal is stated as a condition for cover to start. Claims require written notice within 30 days of becoming aware of a defect, with model, serial number, installation details and related invoices. Transfer of remaining rights requires written notice and evidence of succession; that is not a start-of-cover registration portal.; remedy: SolarSpace may repair, replace or compensate for an eligible failure.; removal reinstallation: Removal and reinstallation are excluded.; transferability: Transfer is permitted after written notice and supporting documents, subject to the warranty conditions.; transport: Reasonable transport costs approved in advance are covered.
