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
ASM, short for Australian Solar Manufacturing Pty Ltd, is a small domestic panel assembler headquartered in Australia. The company produces crystalline monocrystalline modules locally, drawing its cell and component inputs from suppliers in Germany, Japan, the United States and China, then assembling the finished panels for the Australian market. MY Solar, more formally Mysolar Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., is a Chinese manufacturer established in December 2010 and based in Shanghai. It designs and manufactures PV modules in-house for export to Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Africa. Neither brand appears on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability list that institutional project financiers typically reference, which reflects their relatively limited scale compared with global volume leaders. On the basis of geographic reach and manufacturing depth, MY Solar carries the stronger footprint internationally, while ASM occupies a niche domestic position in Australia.
ASM's product catalog centers on residential and small-commercial monocrystalline modules in the roughly 170 Wp to 200 Wp range - a modest power band suited to rooftop retrofits where local assembly and Australian-condition testing matter to the buyer. MY Solar's published range spans from very small specialty modules of a few watts up to approximately 400 Wp, covering off-grid, BIPV, satellite communications and utility-adjacent ground-mount applications. MY Solar also acts as a distributor of panels from larger Chinese producers alongside its own branded modules, which broadens its commercial flexibility but can complicate quality benchmarking for buyers.
For a typical 2025-2026 buyer, neither brand is the default choice for a large-scale project requiring bankable financing. ASM is a reasonable option for Australian residential customers who prefer locally assembled product and value domestic warranty support, while MY Solar suits buyers in developing markets or specialty segments seeking flexible volume and wattage ranges. Buyers with access to Tier 1 alternatives should evaluate those first.
