This tiering system—where Tier 1 represents the most bankable manufacturers—is commonly used to assess a company's reliability rather than product quality.

How important is a Tier 1 rating for solar panels?

In the world of solar energy, choosing the right components is critical to the success of any PV project. Among the various factors to consider, the TIER 1 rating of solar panels emerges as a crucial indicator of quality and reliability.

Who qualifies as a Tier 1 solar panel manufacturer?

To qualify as Tier One, a solar panel manufacturer must have a track record of supplying products for significant installations exceeding 1.5 megawatts. Choosing TIER 1 solar panels offers numerous advantages for distributors, installers and end customers:

Why has BNEF withdrawn a list of solar panel manufacturers?
