Huasun vs Vikram Solar - solar panel manufacturer comparison
Vikram Solar has the broader catalog (213 vs 126 models). Vikram Solar leads on peak efficiency at 24.80%. Huasun leans bifacial (90% 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
Huasun is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in Xuancheng, Anhui province, founded in July 2020 and focused exclusively on heterojunction (HJT) cell and module technology. Despite its short history, the company achieved BloombergNEF Tier 1 status in record time and has retained it through Q1 2025, and it is widely cited as the world's largest HJT module producer, with roughly 20 GW of annual manufacturing capacity across five integrated facilities and shipments to more than 60-80 countries. Vikram Solar, by contrast, was founded in 2005 and is based in Kolkata, India; it also holds BloombergNEF Tier 1 status and has been named a Top Performer in PVEL's module reliability scorecard. In terms of raw production scale Huasun is currently larger, but Vikram Solar has been expanding rapidly, growing from about 4.5 GW of nameplate capacity in early 2025 to roughly 9.5 GW after commissioning its new Vallam plant in Tamil Nadu later in the year.
Huasun's lineup centers almost entirely on N-type HJT modules, including its high-power Himalaya series with efficiencies reported above 24 percent, targeting residential, commercial and utility-scale projects alike. Vikram Solar carries a broader technology mix spanning monocrystalline PERC, bifacial, multi-busbar (MBB), G12 half-cell, and increasingly TOPCon and HJT modules, with power outputs ranging from about 395 W to 735 W, making it a more generalist supplier across rooftop, C&I and utility-scale segments, and it has established export operations to Europe, the US and Africa. For an international buyer, Huasun suits projects where maximum module efficiency and a pure-play HJT specialist are the priority, while Vikram Solar offers a longer commercial track record and more technology flexibility.
Neither brand is clearly superior across the board - both carry confirmed Tier 1 bankability, but they serve somewhat different buyer priorities. Huasun is the efficiency-focused HJT specialist with greater production scale, while Vikram Solar is the more diversified, longer-established manufacturer with rapidly growing capacity. The right choice depends on whether the buyer values peak module efficiency (Huasun) or a broader technology portfolio backed by two decades of manufacturing experience (Vikram Solar).
