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
AEET Energy Group GmbH is a Germany-based photovoltaic wholesale distributor that resells modules from third-party producers rather than manufacturing at its own facilities. It carries no Tier 1 bankability rating from Bloomberg NEF and offers a catalog of just 5 products, giving it a minimal institutional footprint. Goldi Solar, by contrast, is a vertically-oriented Indian module manufacturer founded in 2011, which has scaled to a production capacity of 15.2 GW - the largest module manufacturing base in India - and has held Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 bankable status since 2020, a position reaffirmed by its Kiwa PVEL Top Performer designation in 2024. In terms of manufacturing scale and lender credibility, the two companies occupy fundamentally different tiers of the industry.
The portfolios reflect that gap clearly. AEET's 5-panel catalog averages 190 Wp at 14.9% efficiency, peaks at 200 Wp and 15.7%, offers zero bifacial products, and lists cell technology as unknown - specifications broadly consistent with commodity stock from the early-to-mid 2010s, suited mainly to small off-grid or budget retrofit projects where cost per watt matters more than area yield. Goldi Solar's 110-panel portfolio averages 514 Wp at 21.2% efficiency, peaks at 715 Wp and 23.03%, and features bifacial configurations across 84% of the lineup, with PERC cells accounting for 73.6% of products. Warranties average 27.6 years versus AEET's 25, and a temperature coefficient of -0.33%/degC is competitive for warm-climate deployments. That lineup is designed for utility-scale ground mounts and large commercial rooftops where power density, financeability, and long-term yield guarantees are decisive.
For any new project in 2025, Goldi Solar is the clear default: it outperforms AEET on every material specification, carries the bankability credentials that project finance requires, and has a demonstrated manufacturing track record. AEET's narrow legacy-spec catalog might serve a narrow replacement or ultra-low-budget niche, but the two lineups are not interchangeable for any project where efficiency, output, or warranty durability matter.
