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
AEET Energy Group GmbH is a Germany-headquartered photovoltaic wholesale distributor and system integrator, based in Bad Gandersheim, Germany. The company sells its own branded solar modules - including monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film variants - with production facilities located in China, positioning itself as a full-service European trade and installation partner. Available public sources do not confirm a Tier 1 or BloombergNEF bankability designation for AEET, and its production scale is not documented in major industry trackers. Its reach is primarily European, serving residential and commercial installers through a wholesale model.
Solplanet is the international brand of AISWEI Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese company established around 2007-2009 as a former subsidiary of SMA's China operations. AISWEI is principally known as an inverter and energy storage manufacturer - not a solar module producer. Its inverters ranked sixth globally in overall shipments in 2024, and the brand holds Wood Mackenzie's Grade A inverter manufacturer certification, a benchmark for operational resilience and procurement standards. While AISWEI has showcased broader energy system solutions at trade shows such as SNEC and Intersolar Europe, its dedicated panel offerings are not a documented core product line, and the company's public identity centers squarely on power electronics.
For a buyer specifically seeking solar panels in 2025, AEET Energy Group is the more directly relevant choice between the two, as it is a documented module supplier with branded residential and commercial panel lines targeting the European rooftop market. Solplanet is better understood as an inverter and battery brand that complements any panel selection rather than a standalone panel manufacturer. Both carry modest institutional footprints compared to established Tier 1 module producers, and buyers with scale or project-finance requirements should weigh that against larger bankable brands.
