It is the only 100% locally owned solar panel assembler in South Africa, with an annual production capacity of around 300 MW. The company does not appear on BloombergNEF's formal Tier 1 module list as an independent entry; its bankability instead rests on strategic tie-ups with globally ranked Tier 1 makers - most recently JA Solar, with whom it agreed in mid-2025 to co-produce 340 MW of n-type modules annually, and previously LONGi. Hanersun is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in Nanjing that entered the BloombergNEF Tier 1 list in Q2 2023 on the strength of its 600W-plus high-efficiency products. It has a substantially larger global manufacturing footprint and active international distribution, including a presence at Intersolar Europe 2025. On institutional recognition and global scale, Hanersun holds the stronger position. For products, ARTsolar assembles modules - currently including n-type TOPCon panels such as the JA Solar DeepBlue 4.0 Pro series - primarily aimed at utility-scale and large commercial ground-mount projects within South Africa, where local-content procurement rules give domestically assembled modules a structural advantage. Hanersun's portfolio spans a wide power range (roughly 420 W to 750 W-plus) and covers TOPCon, HJT, and its proprietary ABC back-contact technology, reaching efficiencies up to around 23-24 percent. Its lineup serves residential rooftops, C&I installations, and utility-scale projects across multiple geographies. For a buyer operating outside South Africa with no local-content obligation, Hanersun is the more straightforward choice: it offers verified Tier 1 status, a broader technology menu, and an established international supply chain. ARTsolar's proposition is compelling specifically within the South African market, where its government-procurement eligibility and local manufacturing story add real value that Hanersun cannot replicate. \---LINKS--- \- https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/06/17/ja-solar-artsolar-agree-to-expand-pv-module-manufacturing-in-south-africa/ \| JA Solar and ARTsolar agree to expand PV module manufacturing in South Africa \| article \- https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/artsolar-and-ja-solar-driving-south-africas-renewable-energy-revolution-2025-06-12 \| ARTsolar and JA Solar - driving South Africa's renewable energy revolution \| article \- https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hanersun-ranked-as-a-tier-1-pv-module-manufacturer-with-its-600w-technology-301835789.html \| Hanersun ranked as a Tier 1 PV module manufacturer with its 600W+ technology \| article \- https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/11/15/hanersun-launches-abc-solar-module-series-with-up-to-23-2-efficiency/ \| Hanersun launches ABC solar module series with up to 23.2% efficiency \| article \- https://www.climatescorecard.org/2025/02/artsolar-in-south-africa/ \| ARTsolar in South Africa - Climate Scorecard \| article Written by claude-sonnet from the figures above. ## Other comparisons - [Hanersun vs A.B.
