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

MY Solar Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in Wuxi, Jiangsu, founded in 2010 as part of the broader MY Solar Group. The company reports an annual module production capacity of approximately 3 GW and offers a wide product range that includes complete solar systems and energy storage alongside panels. While MY Solar markets itself prominently as a top-tier supplier, its presence on BloombergNEF's official Tier 1 bankability list could not be independently confirmed through available industry sources at the time of writing. ZNShine Solar (ZNSHINE PV-TECH Co., Ltd.) has a considerably longer history - established in 1988, it entered photovoltaics in 2006 and is based in Jintan, Jiangsu. With an annual production capacity of around 10 GW, ZNShine has appeared on the BloombergNEF Tier 1 list on multiple occasions, giving it a stronger institutional footprint than MY Solar in the eyes of project finance lenders.

MY Solar's catalog spans monocrystalline modules across PERC, TOPCon (N-type), HJT, and IBC cell formats, and the company supports OEM and white-label customization, making it an attractive option for distributors or developers who want supply-chain flexibility. ZNShine addresses a similar breadth of market segments - residential rooftop, commercial and industrial (C&I), and utility-scale ground-mount - but its primary business orientation is clearly toward large B2B clients such as EPCs and project developers. Its commercial and utility products make extensive use of bifacial technology, while the residential range delivers module efficiencies of roughly 20% to 21% as confirmed by independent reviews. ZNShine has also developed a proprietary graphene coating in collaboration with the China University of Science and Technology, designed to reduce soiling losses and extend field lifespan. The company participated at ENEX 2025 in Poland and has manufacturing or distribution infrastructure in the Czech Republic and India, underscoring its European commitment.

For international buyers - particularly those financing utility or C&I projects through banks or insurance structures - ZNShine is the lower-risk default, backed by verified Tier 1 bankability, a 10 GW production base, and an established European distribution network. MY Solar suits buyers who prioritize supply-chain flexibility, OEM branding options, or cost sensitivity in smaller or off-grid applications where formal financier approval is not a gating requirement. Where the two brands overlap in mid-size commercial projects, buyers should request current BloombergNEF status confirmation from MY Solar before committing to projects with third-party financing.
