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

Tier 1 solar panels are a classification system that ranks manufacturers based on their financial stability, manufacturing capabilities, and industry longevity. These companies are considered financially strong and reliable, delivering high-quality solar products. Tier 1 status indicates a manufacturer's bankability, which is important for project developers, investors, and customers seeking trustworthy panels. However, the specific criteria may vary across organizations. The need for Tier 1 panels depends on your requirements. While they offer stability, reliability, and stronger warranties, suitability depends on system design, space availability, budget, efficiency needs, and local regulations.
