SolarWorld is committed to manufacturing in the United States and makes use of the superior automation technology and employee productivity available here. We’re proud to promote local economies and energy independence. While many products claiming to be “made in the USA” are merely assembled from imported components, SolarWorld makes Sunmodules entirely in the USA from American-made raw materials and components.
Industry leader
As the largest solar PV manufacturer in the United States since 1977, SolarWorld has the technology and market experience to bring you the best possible PV system.
We are vertically integrated from raw silcon to modules, kits, and systems.
We developed the first grid-connected PV systems in the world.
We were the first to offer UL-listed modules.
We were the first to offer a 25-year warranty.
SolarWorld established the SolarMaterials recycling subsidiary in 2001 and was the first to recycle whole obsolete modules.
