Catalogue against catalogue
An average over a catalogue describes the range a manufacturer publishes, not the module you would buy. A brand with two flagship panels and eighty older ones averages worse than one that has retired its back catalogue.

Written summary
Hanersun is a Chinese solar module manufacturer headquartered in Nanjing, China. The company secured a place on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 list in 2023 and has since maintained that bankability status, giving it credibility with project financiers. By the end of 2025 the company reported having cumulatively shipped over 16 GW of modules globally, and it has been named a Top Performer in Kiwa PVEL's 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard - an independent durability benchmark that resonates with institutional buyers. AEET Energy Group GmbH is registered in Germany and describes itself primarily as a photovoltaic wholesale partner rather than a vertically integrated module maker, sourcing panels from third-party manufacturers. No Tier 1 or BNEF bankability designation has been found for AEET, and no comparable reliability scorecard recognition is on record. Hanersun therefore has the considerably stronger institutional footprint of the two.
In terms of product technology, Hanersun's current catalog centers on n-type TOPCon cells and an advanced ABC (Alphabet Back Contact) series, the latter reaching efficiencies pv-magazine confirmed at up to 23.2% in late 2023. The range covers large-format modules well suited to utility-scale ground mounts and commercial rooftops, and the company exhibited next-generation solutions at Intersolar Europe 2025. AEET's documented product portfolio consists mainly of older crystalline silicon panels in the 185 W-300 W power class with efficiencies in the 14-16% range, which are characteristic of legacy PERC or standard multicrystalline designs. These specs position AEET's offering in the budget or retrofit segment rather than in performance-focused applications.
For a typical buyer in 2025 - whether residential, commercial, or utility-scale - Hanersun is the more defensible default. It carries bankability credentials, independently verified reliability data, and a modern cell technology roadmap. AEET may suit a buyer seeking lower-cost legacy modules through a European distributor, but the absence of Tier 1 status and current performance benchmarks makes it difficult to recommend on equal terms.
