ASM vs Peimar - solar panel manufacturer comparison
Peimar has the broader catalog (5 vs 1 models). Peimar leads on peak efficiency at 23.04%. Peimar leans bifacial (40% of lineup).
Both catalogues are read from the manufacturers' own datasheets. A brand is not scored against the market here, only against the other brand on this page.

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
I have enough information for Peimar but ASM did not surface as a recognized solar module manufacturer in any search. I will follow the instructions and write a shorter, hedged comparison rather than fabricating details.
ASM does not appear in any major solar industry databases, review platforms, or trade publications as an established photovoltaic module manufacturer. Searches across EnergySage, SolarReviews, pv-magazine, and solarfeeds returned no profile or product data for a panel brand under that name. The only industry reference found links "ASM" to ASM Pacific Technology, a Hong Kong-listed semiconductor and electronics equipment supplier that briefly ran an "ASM Alternative Energy" brand for manufacturing equipment shown at SNEC 2015 - not a module maker in the conventional sense. Without verifiable data on headquarters, founding year, production scale, or bankability status, it is not possible to make factual claims about ASM as a panel manufacturer.
Peimar, by contrast, is a documented mid-tier Italian manufacturer founded in 2007 and headquartered in Castegnato, near Brescia. The company runs an automated facility in Italy and a second factory in Ningbo, China, giving it a reported combined capacity of roughly 500 MW per year. Peimar does not appear on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability list, which reflects its relatively modest scale compared with multi-gigawatt Asian producers, though the absence from that list does not indicate poor module quality.
Peimar's catalog centers on monocrystalline PERC modules confirmed by its product listings on EnergySage and solarfeeds, with bifacial variants available. The brand is positioned primarily at residential rooftops and small-to-mid commercial installations in European markets, where its Italian origin and European quality certifications carry weight. Its standout warranty terms - 20 years on product defects and 30 years on power output - exceed what many brands at a similar price point offer, making it a reasonable choice for buyers who prioritize long-term coverage over Tier 1 bankability.
Without verified data on ASM as a module brand, a direct side-by-side verdict cannot responsibly be rendered.
