How this is modelled

Modelled from this panel’s own published first-year (1%) and annual (0.4%/yr) degradation figures, compounded against its 725 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. Intersection of the datasheet (720-745 W) with the Australian approval (710-725 W). The datasheet's 730-745 W bins have no Australian pathway. Scored model: SG-66TG5B-725 · 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-66TG5B 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 and it is materially narrower than the datasheet. The datasheet covers 720-745 W; the Australian approval covers 710-725 W across 4 models. Only 720 W and 725 W appear in both. The datasheet's headline 745 W at 24.0% is NOT an installable Australian product, and the scored 725 W bin publishes 23.3%.
