What does Tier 1 mean? Do I need Tier 1 solar panels?

Tier 1 solar panels represent a categorization system that evaluates manufacturers based on their financial robustness, manufacturing capacities, and tenure within the industry. These manufacturers are renowned for their financial stability and consistent delivery of high-quality solar products. Attaining Tier 1 status underscores a manufacturer's credibility, which holds significance for project developers, investors, and customers seeking dependable panels.
