What the documents establish
Published evidence, source-reviewed non-disclosure and unresolved questions remain separate from the product score.
Warranty coverage: 10-year term
Coverage includes
Parts & labour · term longer than 24 of 95 scored inverters
No inverter in the fleet publishes a year-by-year performance or output guarantee the way panels and batteries do - this shows the covered term against the market-typical term and where every scored inverter’s term lands (grey dots, sized by model count), plus what the warranty actually includes.

Global benchmark. This scorecard is benchmarked globally. A global score does not imply local availability, certification, warranty coverage, or installer compatibility.
Benchmark anchor. Renewed rows through 2029 govern current status; older duplicate rows expired in January 2026. Scored model: ASW6000-S-G2 · checked 2026-08-27. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
24 of 24 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. Exact family technical sources, Australian warranty and current regulator snapshot checked 2026-08-27. First-market US and DE overlay review 2026-09-01: official regional catalogues recorded; Australian overlays and scores unchanged. Exact Australian source reconciliation 5 October 2026: the current ASW6000-S-G2 datasheet states 97.8% maximum efficiency and 97.5% European efficiency; older global 98.2% maximum is replaced for this AU assessment. Type II surge protection is documented, but its AC/DC side is not identified. The unsupported DC-only scored input is withdrawn; generic Type II protection is not treated as absent, and the exact surge-side evidence gap remains open. Overvoltage categories DC II/AC III are distinct from surge-device types. Benchmark, market and warranty evidence dates are unchanged.

US Support Note
- Current text
- The Solplanet /us/products/asw-3-6k-s-g2-series path returns 404. A /us/ hostname path that opens a news article is not a United States product catalogue. ASW H-S2 is a different family and is not this S-G2 record. Re-audited 2026-09-22: this determination rests solely on the fetch failure recorded above, with no independently reachable regional catalogue, store or archived copy consulted. Downgraded to not_reviewed - unavailable was not confirmed, and this pass did not re-fetch to confirm available either.

- Germany; no German inverter warranty naming ASW6000-S-G2 was attached, so six-field terms are not transferred from the Australian AISWEI instrument.
