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 & extendable · term longer than 24 of 93 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. The score is anchored to the highest published output in this exact electrical and regional series. Scored model: SG10RS · checked 2026-07-31. Evidence.

Strong evidence coverage
20 of 20 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.

IN Support Note
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- The exact scored model SG10RS is not named on Sungrow's Indian string-inverter catalogue. India has no public per-model BIS register, so registration is not independently verified here. Absence from that catalogue is a listing fact, not a quality finding, and does not change the global score. That catalogue names SG3.0RS-L, SG3.0RS-L-IN, SG3.3-4.6RS-L, SG4.0-5.0-6.0RS-L and SG5/6/8/10/12RT-P2. Those are different identities and are not transferred. Existing AU, US or DE warranty terms are not transferred.
