Based on own-brand shipped module MWp-dc volumes. PV Tech has just released the top 10 solar module manufacturers after judiciously tracking the main contenders in 2018. Data harvested throughout the year gave them an initial idea of the final score with a few shocks thrown in.
While they had a good idea of the industry leader from the beginning of the year factors such as being more reliant on China for shipments, suppliers lacking access to overseas markets and being cash-constrained took their toll.
Top 10 Solar Panel Suppliers in 2018
JinkoSolar retained its status as leading module supplier during 2018
Who, What, How?
Jinko Solar’s crown was barely in doubt throughout the year and, along with its closest rival, JA Solar, made strong investments into mono PERC.
LONGi came in an impressive fourth with a strong company focus on seeking non-Chinese module supply growth in most major end-markets. A strategy which is expected to continue during 2019.
Based on ongoing trends in product technology as well as manufacturer stability it is no surprise that the Segen portfolio of brands is made up primarily of products from companies featuring in this list.

What does 2019 have in our solar shop?
PV Tech forecasts the 2019 stats to remain pretty much the same, with the top 6 remaining the same. China is expected to continue world domination with Jinko Solar staying in the top spot and Chinese manufacturers holding onto the top 5 places.
The leading manufacturers Jinko Solar & JA Solar are represented in the 0Bills portfolio with very good availability now and in future along with big players Canadian Solar, Longi and QCELLS.
The Zerohomebills.com` team has also noted the increased demand in technology-forward modules and thus invested accordingly in PERCIUM technology, cell-string optimisation, half-cell and shingle-cell panels ensuring there is a module for any given roof type and to address any type of shading.

The future of solar PV is indeed bright (we might have to wear shades).
