Written summary
Hanersun is a Chinese solar module manufacturer headquartered in Nanjing, established around 2015. The company holds BloombergNEF Tier 1 status and was recognized as a Top Performer in the 2025 Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard. Its annual manufacturing capacity stands at approximately 5 GW, and cumulative module shipments exceeded 16 GW by the end of 2025 - establishing it as the larger player by a considerable margin. Horay Solar, based in Wuxi and operating since 2010 as a successor to My Solar, achieved BNEF Tier 1 bankability in Q1 2025 and runs annual production capacity of roughly 2.5 GW. Horay Solar has made deliberate moves into Europe, opening an office in Valencia and establishing a regional after-sales service hub. In terms of global institutional footprint and track record of volume shipments, Hanersun holds the stronger position.
Hanersun's product range spans from around 385 W to over 700 W, covering both PERC and TOPCon cell technologies. The company was among the first globally to commercialize 600 W+ and 700 W+ modules, and its TOPCon-based HITouch5N series achieves efficiencies up to 22.38%. Its portfolio addresses residential rooftop, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale ground-mount segments. Horay Solar focuses squarely on N-type TOPCon, with products including an all-black rectangular module rated at 455 W and 22.77% efficiency, as well as high-power modules reaching 700 W. The company also produces customizable color panels aimed at building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), an area where Hanersun's public positioning is less prominent. Horay Solar bundles its module offer with inverters and storage systems for a more complete energy solution.
For most international buyers evaluating these two brands, Hanersun represents the lower-risk default given its larger production scale, longer delivery history, and PVEL Top Performer recognition. Horay Solar is a credible alternative - particularly where European after-sales proximity matters or where BIPV aesthetics are a project requirement. For standard residential and commercial installations, both brands are broadly interchangeable, as both carry BNEF Tier 1 status and offer competitive N-type TOPCon efficiency.
