MY Solar vs Risen - solar panel manufacturer comparison

MY Solar is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in Shanghai and operating as a sub-brand of the Mamibot group. The company presents itself as an emerging specialist in advanced n-type cell technologies and openly targets Tier 1 recognition, though it has not yet appeared on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 solar module list based on available sources. Risen Energy, established in 1986 and pivoting to photovoltaics in 2002, is a long-confirmed BloombergNEF Tier 1 manufacturer with Tier 1 status spanning both solar modules and energy storage, and an annual production capacity in the range of 40-48 GW. On the question of institutional footprint and bankability, Risen holds a clear and substantial lead.

MY Solar focuses its catalog on bifacial double-glass n-type HJT modules reaching 720-740 W and TOPCon modules up to 580 W, with shingled panels up to 670 W rounding out the range. The 30-year product and power warranty offered on the HJT GOLD series is a notable differentiator for a brand of its size. The product line is well suited to residential rooftop and small-to-mid commercial installations where access to premium cell technology at a competitive price point is the primary driver. Risen Energy covers a significantly broader spectrum: PERC for budget-conscious segments, TOPCon as the current mainstream workhorse, and its flagship Hyper-ion HJT line, which in July 2025 achieved a world-leading average mass-production output of 740 Wp at a certified cell efficiency of 26.61% - confirmed by pv-magazine. Risen supplies residential, commercial and industrial, and large-scale utility ground-mount projects across all major global markets, and has recorded top scores in PV Evolution Labs stress testing across seven test categories.

For most international buyers - particularly those requiring bankable, widely insurable modules - Risen is the stronger default choice given its confirmed Tier 1 status, global service infrastructure, and the breadth of its verified product performance. MY Solar is a legitimate option for buyers willing to work with a smaller brand in exchange for competitive HJT technology pricing, but the absence of confirmed Tier 1 standing introduces additional due diligence requirements whenever third-party project financing is involved.
