Year 1 to year 25. Rated 435 W at STC.

How this is modelled

Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.31%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 435 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 the highest published rating in this exact series. Scored model: Panel vision AM 4.5 435 Wp · checked 2026-08-01. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage

23 of 23 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 revision. Solarwatt Panel vision AM 4.5 datasheet #05767 Rev 4 and warranty #01140 Rev 5, rechecked 2026-08-01 LeTID re-verified 2026-08-19 for rubric v2.12.0: scored under the returned criterion on the evidence recorded in its provenance.
