Architecture describes the product boundary. It is not a system design or an equipment-pairing decision.

Usable capacity

96.67% of this battery’s nominal capacity is usable, 5.8 kWh in the scored configuration.

5.8 kWh usableScored configuration: MGL060.

The remaining 3.33% stays in the pack as reserve; the home never draws it.

Nominal capacity is not stated here. The usable kWh and the depth-of-discharge percentage are sourced separately, at times from different documents and different module counts, so dividing one by the other would produce a nominal figure no manufacturer published.

The blackout score is a standalone benchmark of outage resilience only - it re-weights sourced specs already scored in this product’s pillars (backup tier, switchover, surge strength, backup power, off-grid recharge) and never affects the overall score. Dots show the full battery fleet; the marker is this product.

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 uses one MGL060 at the 5.8 kWh usable capacity named on the Version 3 APAC/MEA sheet. Parallel quantity of 16 is a different configuration. MG6RL is a different identity. Scored model: MGL060 · checked 2026-09-04. 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.

    After
    labour: Sungrow does not bear labour costs for removing the defective product or reinstalling the repaired or replacement product. In-warranty cover is materials only (clause 7.3).; registration: No baseline pre-install registration deadline is stated. Cover starts from the invoice date or documented first installation, or six months after Sungrow factory shipment if both documents are missing. Claims need proof of purchase, serial number and a defect report via phone, email or Sungrow GSP (clauses 2.2, 6.1 and 6.2).; remedy: Sungrow supplies the materials needed for repair (replacement parts or an equivalent replacement). If the product is not repairable, Sungrow may supply a new or refurbished replacement of equal or higher performance. Remaining term follows the replacement (clauses 3.1 and 3.3).; removal reinstallation: Sungrow does not cover removal, reinstallation, or troubleshooting of other electrical-system components. Relocation to a new site needs Sungrow's written consent and a paid on-site inspection (clauses 3.7, 5.1(j), 7.3 and 7.4).; transferability: Warranty rights may transfer to a later owner, authorised operator or lessee at the same site during the warranty period. The new end-user must sign and submit Sungrow's warranty transfer agreement (clause 3.6).; transport: The claimant bears freight of the alleged defective product back to Sungrow. Sungrow bears freight of the new or refurbished product to the end-user. Shipping damage is excluded (clauses 7.1 to 7.3).

    IN Warranty scope

    Current text
    India; the India manufacturer warranty HTML on sungrowpower.com/in/en, with the 2.3 product-list image, lists Residential Battery at 10 years standard, with an extra requirement in Exhibit 1. The instrument does not name MGL060. Exhibit 1 was not published as a retrievable file on 5 September 2026 and is not used to invent performance fields. Six structured warranty terms are recovered from clauses 3, 6 and 7 of the main India HTML. The C&I ESS Battery and PCS 5-year row is not transferred. AU, US or DE terms are not transferred.

    The previous text is not reproduced here: both versions run to a full research paragraph. Both are in the JSON record linked below.
