Performance guarantee: 30-year linear output
Wattage figure based on the sourced rated power (475 W) applied to the guaranteed floor; modular/format differences aside, this is the same rated-power spec shown above.
Modelled effective output, year by year
Year 1 to year 25. Rated 475 W at STC.
How this is modelled
Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 475 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.
| Year | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 |

| Watts | 470 W | 463 W | 453 W | 444 W | 434 W | 425 W |
| % of rated | 99.0% | 97.4% | 95.4% | 93.4% | 91.4% | 89.4% |

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. Intersection of the datasheet (455-480 W) with the Australian approval (450-475 W). The datasheet's top 480 W bin is not approved. Scored model: SG-48TG4D-B-475 · checked 2026-08-19. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
12 of 12 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. Built 2026-08-19 from Sungrow's own SG-48TG4D-B datasheet, retrieved from info-support.sungrowpower.com via the product page and verified complete: byte count matched the declared Content-Length exactly, with %PDF magic and a trailing %%EOF. Figures read from a render of the Specifications (STC) table; the sheet also carries a separate Specifications (BNPI) table at front 1000 W/m2 and rear 135 W/m2, which runs roughly 10 per cent higher, publishes no efficiency row, and is not used here. Retained scope is the intersection. The datasheet covers 455-480 W; the Australian approval covers 450-475 W across 6 models. The datasheet's top 480 W bin at 24.0% is not approved for Australia, so the scored bin is 475 W at 23.8%.
