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.

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 a guarantee that a claim is correct.
How far the evidence reaches
1 of 5 questions with checkable rows has a row beyond the maker's claim.

- FootprintNot scored for inverters
- Third-party source
- Certified or regulator-listed
- Manufacturer claim
- Reviewed absence
Each bar is one question's checkable rows for this product at true share, stronger tiers first; hatching marks a reviewed absence: not published, we looked. Maker-only rows (warranty terms and design facts that rest on the maker's own documents) are counted under each question, never dropped. Held rows have no value, and each says why: not yet confirmed for the exact product, published but not matched to a rubric band, set by paired equipment, or not applicable. They are not scored and are counted under each question, never drawn. review.solar has measured none of these rows itself. How the evidence puzzle works
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 The unsupported DC-only scored input is withdrawn; generic Type II protection is not treated as absent, and the exact surge-side evidence gap remains open.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
- After this change
- On 19 October 2026 the Solplanet country and language menu had no United States or North America entry, solplanet.net/us/ redirected to a news article, and the page and product sitemaps contained no US path. No official US market listing exists, so the US overlay for the ASW S-G2 family (scored ASW6000-S-G2) is unavailable for lack of a US market presence. ASW H-S2 is a different family and is not transferred.

DE Warranty scope
- Before
- Germany; no German inverter warranty naming ASW6000-S-G2 was attached, so six-field terms are not transferred from the Australian AISWEI instrument.
- After
- Germany; AISWEI's German-language Factory Quality Warranty Terms for Overseas Territory (Version 2.0, published 15 September 2023, file S-PM21-006 V2.01 DE) name the ASW S-G2 series, which includes ASW6000-S-G2, and cover the international market excluding mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
DE Warranty conditions
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- labour: AISWEI may provide on-site service within the standard warranty period as one of the remedies in Article 4.1(3). For the warranty territories of Australia, the European Union (excluding its associated islands and overseas territories) and India, taxes, duties, and the travel and accommodation costs of AISWEI on-site personnel are included in the warranty service costs that AISWEI assumes (Article 4.2). The instrument does not state reimbursement of installer labour.; registration: Not previously recorded; remedy: Within the standard warranty period of 5 or 10 years under Article 2.1.1 (unless the purchase contract agrees otherwise; the instrument does not say which option applies to a given purchase), AISWEI decides, free of charge, which one or more of these remedies to provide: remote services, return of the defective product to its designated factory for repair, on-site service, and replacement with a product of equal value that may be refurbished (Articles 4.1 and 4.2). In the extended period, AISWEI covers only spare parts, materials or a replacement product (Article 4.3).; removal reinstallation: The Factory Quality Warranty Terms for Overseas Territory of AISWEI (German edition, Version 2.0, published 15 September 2023, file S-PM21-006 V2.01 DE) state no removal or reinstallation cover, so no removal or reinstallation entitlement is established.; transferability: Where an extended warranty applies, it is bound to the customer and the exact inverter and may not be transferred to another third party or applied to another product without AISWEI's written consent (Articles 2.2.4 and 2.2.5). The instrument does not state transferability of the standard warranty.; transport: Within the standard warranty period, AISWEI bears the warranty service costs, including shipment of the defective product and of any replacement product, and delivers a repaired or replacement product to the agreed delivery place in the warranty territory at its own cost (Articles 4.2 and 4.6). For the factory repair and replacement remedies, the customer must return the defective product to AISWEI's designated factory within the period AISWEI sets in writing (Article 4.4). In the extended period, AISWEI does not cover shipping and transport costs (Article 4.3).

- 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.
