Panel Brand Comparison: LONGi vs Jinko vs Trina vs Canadian Solar
These four brands collectively represent over 70% of solar panels installed in Malaysia. Here is an honest comparison based on our installation experience across hundreds of residential and commercial projects.
LONGi Solar (Hi-MO Series)
LONGi is consistently the best-selling panel brand in Malaysia and our most commonly specified choice at Trexon. The Hi-MO 6 and Hi-MO X6 models use HPBC (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact) cell technology, delivering efficiency ratings of 22.1–23.0% — the highest among mainstream panels available in Malaysia.
- Panel model: Hi-MO X6 (580–615W)
- Efficiency: 22.6% (leading class)
- Degradation warranty: 0.4%/year (25-year linear)
- Price premium vs baseline: +8–12%
- Best for: Roofs with limited area needing maximum output per panel
- Trexon verdict: Best overall value when roof space is constrained
Jinko Solar (Tiger Neo Series)
Jinko's Tiger Neo N-type panels have rapidly gained market share in Malaysia through 2025–2026. N-type cells have inherently lower light-induced degradation (LID) and better low-light performance, which matters during Malaysia's frequent overcast mornings.
- Panel model: Tiger Neo N-type (580–600W)
- Efficiency: 22.0–22.8%
- Degradation warranty: 0.4%/year (30-year linear — industry-leading)
- Price premium vs baseline: +5–9%
- Best for: Long-hold homeowners who want the best 30-year warranty in the market
- Trexon verdict: Best for buyers prioritising long-term warranty confidence
Trina Solar (Vertex Series)
Trina's Vertex panels offer an excellent balance of performance and value. The Vertex S+ (415–430W, smaller format) and Vertex (580–600W, commercial format) are TNB-approved and widely available from Malaysian distributors, meaning replacement panels are easy to source if needed decades from now.
- Panel model: Vertex S+ NEG9R.28 (440W)
- Efficiency: 21.5–22.2%
- Degradation warranty: 0.4%/year (25-year linear)
- Price premium vs baseline: +3–6%
- Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who want a reliable Tier-1 brand
- Trexon verdict: Best value-for-money Tier-1 option
Canadian Solar (HiKu Series)
Despite the name, Canadian Solar manufactures in China and has one of the largest global production capacities. HiKu panels are a reliable, SEDA-approved choice often specified for larger commercial rooftop projects where consistent bulk pricing matters.
- Panel model: HiKu7 CS7N-660MS (660W)
- Efficiency: 21.4–22.0%
- Degradation warranty: 0.45%/year (25-year linear)
- Price premium vs baseline: Baseline (most competitively priced)
- Best for: Commercial and industrial projects where bulk pricing drives the decision
- Trexon verdict: Best for large commercial installations above 50kW
