Not printed for this model in the documents on file. Revised on 1 October 2026: RICH SOLAR prints no lifetime energy figure; the stored value was computed from the nominal energy and the rated cycle count.
5.12 MWh
Our estimate from the ALPHA 1 Series datasheet (20260826), which prints "Nominal Energy 1,280Wh" and "Cycle Life 5,000+ (80% DoD)"; assumes nominal energy on every cycle and models no degradation.

Manufacturer-operated store product page captured byte for byte and matched to this catalog row on an exact manufacturer SKU match against the published variant SKU RS-B121S. It establishes what Rich Solar published on that page on the access date: the specification rows printed there, the SKU and barcode in the page's own structured data, the documents linked from it and the photo it shows. Marketing copy, certification wording and stock state on the page remain manufacturer claims that no issuer or laboratory record was read against, and nothing here is carried to another variant.

The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.
Missing for this product: Certificates evidence needed; Warranty energy disclosure evidence needed; Cell model disclosure evidence needed.
