Solar power system manufacturers are businesses that specialize in creating and selling PV modules. Their products are known for being high efficiency yet cost-effective, which lowers risk while increasing return on investment (ROI).
JA Solar is an acclaimed leader in crystalline silicon solar manufacturing, currently shipping nearly 10.8 GW annually and earning PV-Tech’s highest bankability rating.
Trina Solar
Trina Solar is one of the world’s top total solar solution providers with offices and call centres worldwide. They boast an exceptional bankability rating as well as a loyal following of do-it-yourself homeowners eager to install their products themselves.
Vertex S is their flagship residential range, boasting an unmatched product and performance warranty (though there may occasionally be quality issues). They also produce larger commercial/utility panels using large third-cut mono PERC cells measuring 210mm third-cut third.
JinkoSolar
JinkoSolar is an industry-leading PV module manufacturer with state-of-the-art facilities and an expansive global manufacturing network, and boasts industry-leading product and performance warranties on all its modules.
Jinko has earned a solid reputation for high efficiency and reliability based on data gleaned from independent tests such as PVEL’s Module Reliability Scorecard. Furthermore, they maintain an exceptional market presence with exceptional warranties packages and after-sales support services.
However, it should be taken into consideration that the company’s production facility in Xinjiang, China has recently come under investigation for allegations of forced labor, so customers should carefully consider any risks before selecting this manufacturer for their projects.
SunPower
SunPower designs all-in-one residential solar systems. Additionally, it provides solar + storage solutions and smart home technology solutions tailored specifically for homeowners. SunPower solar panels have been extensively tested two to four times more frequently than industry average, and its systems boast an industry leading 25 year warranty.
High-efficiency solar systems from this company should save homeowners money on energy costs for years. There are various financing options available, including cash purchases, solar loans and lease agreements with zero down payments.
Tindo Solar
Tindo solar panels come with a minimum 25 year performance warranty. Designed to withstand Australia’s challenging climate conditions and offering improved thermo-mechanical properties for long-term high performance.
They are an Australian-made, Australian-owned company with their headquarters located in Mawson Lakes in Adelaide South Australia. Additionally, they boast an expansive network of installers across Australia who can assist with any issues that may arise.
Quality components, such as Q-cells silicon solar cells from SolarWorld USA, DuPont backsheets, Bridgestone encapsulant, Dow Corning edge seals and module-level Enecsys DC-AC microinverters, are used in their product.
Panasonic
Panasonic pioneered heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cells, which offer superior conversion efficiencies compared to standard silicon products. Panasonic’s innovative Double HIT panels capture energy from both sides of their panel for maximum electric production.
Panasonic has learned from its experience in China to successfully balance two competing strategies that may seem in conflict: global integration requires cooperation and uniformity while local adaptation cherishes independence and diversity – it all works out for everyone’s good!
Sunrun
Sunrun provides solar leases, loans, purchase options and power purchase agreements (PPAs). As a large company it can offer homeowners numerous advantages including rate hike protection and an industry-leading warranty.
Custom solar design software from this company will develop an individual plan tailored specifically for your home and energy requirements, while providing advice about energy storage solutions that may best fit.
Sunrun offers a range of panel brands for installation, but its focus has shifted since LG pulled out. Since LG left, Sunrun has increasingly chosen mainstream multicrystalline panels from REC Group and high-efficiency options from SMSL members Hanwha Q CELLS and Canadian Solar.
ADT Solar
ADT Solar is a popular choice among homeowners looking to go solar. Boasting an A+ BBB rating and strong industry standing, they provide services including installation and battery backup as well as online monitoring with monocrystalline panels from well-known brands like Panasonic.
All systems come with a 25-year power production guarantee and extended product warranty, using Enphase microinverters that convert renewable energy directly at each panel.
Tesla
By applying the four Ps of marketing (Product, Price, Place and Promotion), Tesla has expanded its business through acquisitions and organic growth. They currently offer three EV sedans; with their Model 3 remaining the most economical choice currently on the market.
With financial backing from J. Pierpont Morgan, Tesla embarked upon work on Wardenclyffe: an experimental wireless free energy system intended to transmit signals and electricity without wires globally.
