The Solar Scorecard evaluates and ranks solar manufacturers with the goal to improve industry-wide transparency and accountability, and to set high standards for environmental sustainability. The solar energy industry has grown 30-fold since 2010 when the first Solar Score Card was. We rate solar installers based on 13 different metrics to help you find the right company to buy & install solar panels from. [pdf]FAQS about National solar bracket ranking
What is the solar Scorecard survey?
Using the Solar Scorecard questionnaire survey, we evaluate solar manufacturers that represent 80% of the market share based on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) data as well as publicly available trade industry market research. The Solar Scorecard will also score companies who fall into the following categories.
Do solar companies earn a lot of points?
Solar companies that use brands within the top 20 list for solar panels (and/or outside the top 10 for inverters) earn fewer points, while those that use brands outside that earn even fewer points.
Which countries have installed the most solar panels in Europe?
The Netherlands continued to massively install PV, with 3,3 GW after 3 GW in the previous year and Poland continues its GW-scale expansion. Greece restarted PV installations after years of pause and in general, the European market benefited from a, overall growth.
What factors should you consider when choosing a solar installer?
Here are other factors that are worth considering when choosing a solar installer: We believe that comparison shopping is important, especially with a big purchase like solar.
