1. First Solar

Founded in 1999, First Solar is a solar energy manufacturer that has installed more than 600GW of photovoltaic modules globally, and is expected to install more than 4,500GW of photovoltaic modules by 2050, making First Solar an important part of the world’s photovoltaic industry.

In terms of technological innovation, First Solar has made great achievements in its continuous exploration of thin film materials, such as First Solar’s innovative thin film CdTe photovoltaic semiconductor technology, which allows for better scalability and higher theoretical efficiency limits than traditional silicon solar panels.

In terms of environmental protection, First Solar has a clear plan from raw material to solar module recycling, which promotes the development of human environmental protection. All in all, First Solar is gradually becoming the main force in the world’s photovoltaic industry.

2. SunPower

SunPower is a famous solar energy manufacturer in the world. The company has obtained many achievements in the photovoltaic industry, such as the company has been ranked first on the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition’s Sustainability Scorecard for many years, and it is worth mentioning that SunPower’s solar panel manufacturing plant in Mexico has been certified as a zero-waste landfill by NSF. These accomplishments show that SunPower has pushed the photovoltaic industry forward, especially in terms of sustainability.

SunPower has also invested a lot of money in technological innovation and obtained considerable results, the company’s solar panels are in a leading position in the photovoltaic industry in terms of power generation efficiency, and at present, SunPower has constructed and installed more than 500 large-scale power plants in 11 countries around the world, with a total installed capacity of 1.5 GW. All of these show that SunPower is gradually moving towards the center of the world’s photovoltaic industry. Toward the center of the world’s PV industry.

3. Jinko Solar

Jinko Solar has set up a PV module production base in Florida, U.S.A., which is an important part of U.S.A. solar module field. Jinko Solar has gained a lot of achievements in the PV industry, for example, Jinko Solar has won the “Outstanding Achievement Award” issued by the U.S.A. Renewable Energy Test Center for four years, which is a good indication of its success. For example, Jinko Solar has won the “Outstanding Achievement Award” issued by the American Renewable Energy Testing Center for four consecutive years.

It is worth mentioning that Jinko Solar has signed the largest PV module supply agreement in history with Next Energy, Inc. in the U.S., so Jinko Solar will provide 2750MWh of high-efficiency photovoltaic modules in the next four years, which is enough to show that Jinko Solar is the top U.S. solar panel manufacturer.

4. Q CELLS

The solar modules produced by Q CELLS account for about 25% of the U.S. residential solar market share, and about 13% of the market share in the commercial market, which is enough to see Q CELLS in the U.S. photovoltaic field, and even the world’s photovoltaic field in an important position. According to relevant data, the total installed capacity of Q CELLS in the U.S. is 1.7GW, which is second only to First Solar, showing its strength and influence.

In terms of technological innovation, the efficiency of solar panels produced by Q CELLS can be stabilized between 19.8% and 21.4%, which shows that its performance is highly efficient and stable, especially the N-type module with passivated contact launched by Q CELLS can further improve the efficiency and performance of solar panels, which shows that Q CELLS has a strong competitiveness in the U.S. market.

5. LG Solar

LG Solar is an important part of the U.S. solar industry, to know that in 2020, LG Solar production of solar modules manufacturing capacity ranked in the United States in the top five, 2022 in the annual U.S. user brand photovoltaic module rankings ranked second, can be seen in the United States of America’s huge influence.

In the U.S. solar market, LG Solar’s installed capacity of 164.2GW in 2022 is enough to see its huge potential in the U.S. market.
