Written summary
Gokin Solar is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone in Zhuhai, Guangdong, founded in 2019 through a collaboration between IDG and Zhuhai Huafa Group. Despite its relatively young age, the company has scaled quickly, operating production bases across Guangdong, Qinghai, Sichuan and Guangzhou with a combined ingot, wafer and module capacity reported in the tens of gigawatts, and it has entered the Q1 2026 PV ModuleTech Bankability Ratings as a vertically integrated Tier 1 candidate. It has also climbed into industry shipment rankings, reaching roughly 10th place in the PVBL Global Top 20 PV Brands list and around 14th in China per Solarbe's 2025 shipment rankings. MY Solar, operating as MY Solar Technology Co., Ltd. (MYPVTECH), was founded in 2010 and is positioned as a mid-sized Chinese manufacturer serving global markets, though independent bankability or BloombergNEF Tier 1 listings for the brand are not readily documented in industry trackers. On institutional footprint, Gokin currently shows the stronger profile, with clearer vertical integration, published capacity figures and emerging Tier 1 recognition, while MY Solar's standing rests more on longevity and catalog breadth than on third-party bankability verification.
Gokin's product line centers on back-contact (BC) module technology, with its "Global BC Eco" series spanning roughly 480 W to 780 W panels aimed at residential, commercial and industrial (C&I), and utility-scale projects, supporting 1,500V systems and cell efficiencies up to about 24.8 percent, backed by a 15-year product warranty and 30-year linear performance guarantee. MY Solar's catalog is broader and more conventional, ranging from entry-level monocrystalline PERC modules (roughly 310 W to 390 W) up to higher-power panels near 740 W, and extending into shingled PERC, bifacial, and HJT half-cell modules, along with inverters and storage batteries, making it more of a diversified one-stop supplier for varied budget tiers rather than a single flagship technology line.
For a typical 2025-2026 buyer, Gokin is the stronger default when premium efficiency and next-generation BC cell technology with strong warranty terms matter, and its emerging bankability credentials give installers more confidence for larger commercial projects. MY Solar remains a reasonable choice for buyers prioritizing product variety and cost flexibility across residential and small commercial scales, but with less independently verified bankability standing, it suits more price-sensitive or smaller-scale deployments where financing scrutiny is lower.
