HT-SAAE panels, read off the datasheets

HT-SAAE (Shanghai Aerospace Automobile Electromechanical Co., Ltd.) is a state-owned enterprise specializing in photovoltaic products. The company integrates polysilicon, solar cells, battery packs, and photovoltaic + energy storage systems. They develop and manufacture solar panels for residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects.

Everything below is computed from those 112 datasheets: no score out of ten, no ranking of brands against each other, and nothing a manufacturer can pay to change. Where HT-SAAE does not publish a figure, it is left out of the average rather than assumed.

The top of the range

The leaders of HT-SAAE's own catalogue on the two figures a specification sheet leads with. Neither is a verdict: the most efficient module in a range is rarely the one that suits a given roof.

By what the array is for

Three cuts of the same catalogue, each ordered by efficiency inside its band. An empty column means the brand does not build for that case.

What the catalogue is made of

Cell technology across the market

Shares are of the 112 modules in the database, counted once each. A power ladder of one module counts as its rungs, which is why a large catalogue is not the same as a wide one.

Cell technology share of the catalogue
TOPCon 78.6% 88 PERC 17.0% 19 Unknown 4.5% 5
TOPCon accounts for 78.6% of the catalogue - 88 of 112 modules.

Strengths and gaps

Both lists are derived from the figures above rather than written about the brand. A gap here is a gap in what is published, which is not always a gap in what is built.

What this catalogue is good at
  • Solid portfolio of 112 panels
  • Tier 1 bankable manufacturer - recognized by major financial institutions
  • High-efficiency panels available (up to 23.9%)
  • Strong warranty coverage averaging 29 years
  • High-power panels available (up to 715W) for commercial applications
  • Established manufacturer with 28+ years of experience
  • Large-scale production capacity of 2+ GW
Where it is thin
  • Average efficiency of 20.5% is below the industry leading edge
