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
Hyundai is a South Korean brand under the Hyundai/HD Hyundai industrial group, with Hyundai Energy Solutions producing solar modules recognized on BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability lists and reported annual production capacity in the range of roughly 1.4 GW. Solplanet, by contrast, is the consumer-facing brand of AISWEI, a Shanghai-headquartered company founded in 2009 (spun out of a former SMA joint venture in 2019) that focuses primarily on solar inverters, battery storage and EV chargers rather than PV modules themselves; AISWEI reports cumulative shipments exceeding 70 GW across its inverter and storage lines and ranks among the top global suppliers of residential energy storage and inverters. Institutionally, Hyundai carries the stronger footprint specifically in panel manufacturing and Tier 1 bankability, while Solplanet's parent AISWEI has built its scale and reputation mainly in the balance-of-system side of solar.
Hyundai's module lineup spans residential 108-cell black panels around 435-440 W up to 144- and 156-cell commercial and utility-scale modules reaching 640 W, built on N-type TOPCon technology alongside older PERC-based lines, targeting rooftop residential, commercial and utility projects with warranties typically covering 15-25 years on product and 25-30 years on output. Solplanet's relevant offerings for a "panel" comparison are limited, since its core catalog is hybrid and string inverters, residential batteries and EV chargers rather than modules, making it a complementary system component brand more often paired with third-party panels than a direct panel competitor.
Given this, the two brands are not truly interchangeable as panel suppliers: Hyundai is the more relevant choice when a buyer specifically needs Tier 1-bankable solar modules, while Solplanet is better evaluated as an inverter and storage ecosystem provider that could be combined with Hyundai or other manufacturers' panels rather than compared against them directly.
