Tier 1 Solar Panels List 2020 (Q1).
Shopping for a solar panel by manufacture alone is quite like shopping for a car by the manufacturer alone. The differences are often enormous between models. Nonetheless, questionable marketing tactics towards end-users would have you believe the term Tier-1 is all you need to know.
Each quarter we publishes the Latest Tier-1 Solar Panels List in an easily indexable fashion for your convenience and easy reference, Not to be confused, with The infamous Bloomberg Tier-1 Solar Panels, this alternative list is available online.
please understand the term Tier-1 was not created as a quality guideline,
when selecting the ideal solar panel for your project.
Notable absentees from the list include some of the most respected manufacturers of the last decade;
Panasonic (Ultra-refined module producer).
Solaria (Innovator of shingle-cell technology).
Winaico (The all-round performer).
SolarWatt (World’s greatest warranty).
Kyocera (pioneering solar for over 40-years).

Testing institutes such as TUV Rheinland or DNV GL present a far greater insight and case toward product quality selection.
