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
Jinergy, the commercial brand of Jinneng Clean Energy Technology Ltd., is a Chinese manufacturer that built its identity around heterojunction (HJT) cell technology at a time when most peers were still committed to PERC. The company earned BloombergNEF Tier 1 status - confirmed in industry coverage by Solar Builder - and had delivered a cumulative 6.5 GW to more than 30 countries by the end of 2020, signaling a meaningful but mid-tier global footprint. AIKO Solar, also headquartered in China, is the newer and more aggressively expanding of the two, having secured its own BNEF Tier 1 ranking in 2024 and announcing plans for BC module shipments to exceed 20 GW in 2025 alone. In terms of institutional scale and market momentum, AIKO currently holds the stronger hand.
Jinergy's catalog has historically centered on HJT and PERC modules suited to commercial rooftop and mid-scale ground-mount applications where high bifacial yield and temperature performance matter. Its HJT lineup posts module efficiencies around 21.85% in independent rankings, a respectable figure though no longer class-leading among HJT specialists. AIKO's defining product proposition is its ABC (All Back Contact) cell architecture, which eliminates front-side metal shading and has allowed the company to record a 25.2% module efficiency at Intersolar 2024 - one of the highest confirmed figures for a commercially shipped product. Its Neostar and Comet series target premium residential and light-commercial rooftop buyers where maximum power density per square meter justifies a higher upfront cost. AIKO also topped the 2025 SolarQuotes Installers' Choice Awards, reflecting strong real-world installer satisfaction.
For a typical buyer in 2025 who prioritizes peak efficiency and long-term output guarantees, AIKO is the clearer choice: its ABC technology lead, rapidly scaling production, and 30-year performance warranty set it apart. Jinergy remains a credible option for buyers who favor proven HJT reliability at a potentially more accessible price point, but it lacks the same technology differentiation or shipment scale that gives AIKO its current edge.
