Indian firms find it hard to make it to the global list of the bigwigs. If we are to develop as a world, we have to think of inclusion. Following hours of research by our research team, we were finally able to map out the leading companies in the solar industry globally. The good news?

It is our prime responsibility to make the best use of the resources we have today so that the coming generations dont have to suffer. As of now, the company aims to manufacture a total of 45 GW of monocrystalline wafer production capacity by 2020. A business friendly government in Beijing has really pushed the nations solar equipment manufacturing prowess to such a level that there are not only those Chinese companies that make solar panels and modules for other companies, but also those companies that are Chinese in origin who do their own work without any outsourcing.

Kyocera is a Japanese multinational firm with a particular stronghold in the global solar market. As of now, the firm boasts of a 22.2 per cent market share in the silicon market and supplies a shade under 30 per cent of the total global wafer capacity wafer yield. Joining the list is yet another Chinese firm that has shown vested interests in manufacturing solar modules in India. In 2017 alone, the Chinese firm shipped a massive 9.81 GW of solar modules globally. However, in less than three years, the South Korean firm has thrust itself among the pioneers of solar technology. As evident from the list, Chinas clout in the global solar market remains as strong as ever. Headquartered in South Koreas capital Seoul, is the youngest company on this list as it began operations only in 2015.

The company has manufacturing facilities scattered across Canada, Latin America, and Asia with Canada and China being the biggest units. This Chinese company is one of the most prominent solar energy companies in the world mainly due to its solid repo in manufacturing solar cells and solar modules. Q Cells caters largely to the demanding European and Japanese market as of now. ELE Times helps you build awareness, drive traffic, communicate your offerings to right audience, generate leads and sell your products better. The firm started operations in the year 1997 and for two years in a row, in 2012 and 2013 was also the number one PV module manufacturer in the world. Concerns? Since then, the firm has grown leaps and bounds. The firm recently announced that it has plans to set up 1 GW solar PV manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh. And as a result, Canadian Solar, which is a publically traded company has emerged as the biggest solar company in the Americas owing to a highly favourable business environment. Through a strategic expansion process, the company has acquired several firms and that has given it the capital and infrastructure to manufacture solar equipment. Asia dominates the list.

The rate of growth in population is on an upward curve barring a few countries, which means that in a few years we will have many people but not enough resources to accommodate them. The firm also marks as the only presence from the Americas region.

In addition to providing in depth articles, ELE Times attracts the industrys largest, qualified and highly engaged audiences, who appreciate our timely, relevant content and popular formats. Of all the solar rooftop solar projects in India today, most of the panels have been supplied by Trina Solar. Earlier, we ran a story on our website that highlighted the biggest Indian companies in the solar sector.

While the exact sales of the Chinese firm for 2017 were hard to find, what did come up in our research is that as of 2014, the firm had shipped a total of 11 GW of solar modules. There is good reason for that.

We believe that the harm weve been causing to the world in the name of technological development has to come to end, sooner rather than later.

Keeping in tandem with that story, we decided to broaden our lens and take a look at the biggest solar companies in the world. Among an arsenal of things that the firm manufactures, its solar equipment is considered to be its best produce. You can run out of drinkable water, you will surely run out of coal, but you can never run out of the sun- unless of course it is a cloudy day. Following the attractive subsidies by Beijing, a lot of investors from the world took interest in JA Solar and that helped the firms net worth skyrocket. Here is the list of the top 10 solar companies in the world: The list begins with the worlds largest solar panel manufacturer and that too by some margin. Here is a company that holds somewhat of a significance as far as the Indian context is concerned. ELE Times provides a comprehensive global coverage of Electronics, Technology and the Market. Heres to the hope that the solar technology prevails in the world and the sun keeps shining as bright as ever in the future of the world. But with two huge manufacturing plants under its belt, it has plans to soon enter new markets. Our research told us that Jinko Solar plans to better its 2017 tally and ship about 13 GW of solar modules in 2018. Based in Shanghai, the company is engaged in the production of solar cells and modules that shipped across Europe, Americas, Africa, and Asia.

New Delhi should look at Beijing because there are a lot of lessons that can be learnt from the Chinese. So there you have it. Amid this, solar energy comes out as perhaps the biggest boon to mankind today. Finishing off the list is another Chinese firm that is renowned across the globe for its solar panels. Currently, Kyocera is manufacturing solar power generating systems. Based in the Chinese province of Hong Kong, GCL-SI was founded in 1990. Our editorials and features have always, rather equivocally, advocated the use of alternate sources of energy; especially solar. As of 2014, Shunfeng completed the production of about 2.4 GW of solar modules. The firm started out as a modest wafer manufacturer back in 2006 and in a decade, has become the biggest solar module manufacturer in the world. In fact, industry sentiments suggest that solar panels made by Yingli are among the best in the world. In fact, Trina is Indias biggest supplier of solar equipment of all international companies that do business with India. Canada has laid a lot of emphasis on the use of solar energy. The Chinese government provided a subsidy to JA Solar and since then the company took off on the global stage.
