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. Only SH5T and SH10T are included because they are the exact models found on the current Australian approved list. Scored model: SH10T · checked 2026-08-02. Evidence.
Sources & references · checked 2026-09-02
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 an independent guarantee that a claim is correct.
Record revision.

- The exact scored model SH10T is not named on Sungrow's Indian residential storage catalogue retrieved 2026-09-02. India has no public per-model BIS register.
IN Support Note
- Before
- Not previously recorded
- After
- The exact scored model SH10T is not named on Sungrow's Indian residential storage 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 MG5/6RL, MG8RL/MG10RL and MGL060. The older India PV list names SH5.0/6.0/8.0/10RT. SH10T is not among them and is not transferred. Existing AU, US or DE warranty terms are not transferred.
