What never reviewed means
Source kinds, validation dates, and honest catalogue limits.
Reviewed
What this is for
Where a row's numbers came from, and whether anybody here has checked them. The library is good enough to design against. It is not, by itself, good enough to underwrite. A row that showed only the model name would let an indicative figure be mistaken for a measured one.
Unvalidated is the honest label, not a broken row.
Steps
Open the Component library. Provenance is a column on the list. On a module or inverter page it is on each characterisation; on a battery page it is the source badge under Where these figures come from. The battery list shows only whether a row is validated, so open the row for its source. A conductor has no page of its own: its source badge is on its row.
The source word is which claim the numbers make:
Badge What it means CEC From a certification register. A register is not an independent test report. PAN From a PVsyst PAN file - the manufacturer's own measured characterisation. OND From a PVsyst OND file - the same, for an inverter. Datasheet Typed from a published datasheet, not from a measured file. Datasheet, read Read off a published datasheet by a language model and confirmed by a person. Manufacturer Supplied directly by the manufacturer. Standard Transcribed from a published standards table anybody can go and check. No model No characterisation at all. Nothing can be simulated with it. Worse than unvalidated. Beside the source: Unvalidated, or Validated with a date. Unvalidated means nobody here has independently checked these numbers. Treat them as indicative. Validated is a date a person recorded against the figures that are still there.
Several characterisations on one module or inverter show as N versions. A condition set chooses which one a simulation uses.
A battery with no characterisation is not missing a tab. Dispatch uses the scalars as stated. The page still names the source, and where a figure was derived rather than read the notes say so. A datasheet-read battery says a misread depth of discharge or round-trip efficiency moves the autonomy figure directly.
Correcting a row always clears the checked date, because the check was a claim about figures that are no longer there. Changing a model name on a CEC row can leave it CEC; changing a Voc makes it Datasheet, or the register is credited with a number nobody certified.
Tips and common mistakes
- Unvalidated is the normal state of the shipped catalogue. It is not a broken row.
- Do not quote a CEC module as if a test lab signed the yield. Upload the manufacturer's PAN for a bankable characterisation, or type from the datasheet and keep the Datasheet badge.
- A zero that was never measured is a dash on the detail, not
0.00. Unstated battery depth of discharge is the example: the page assumes a fraction for dispatch and says so. Quote the document. - "Never reviewed" on a tariff is the same idea on a different library: prices unchecked, last-reviewed empty. That article is under Tariffs.
