List of photovoltaics companies

This is a list of notable photovoltaics (PV) companies. 
Grid-connected solar <a href="/facts/Photovoltaics/5Xefaayl">photovoltaics</a> (PV) is the fastest growing energy technology in the world, growing from a cumulative installed capacity of 7.7 GW in 2007, to 320 GW in 2016. In 2016, 93% of the global PV cell manufacturing capacity utilized <a href="/facts/Crystalline_silicon/nvx05hmr">crystalline silicon</a> (cSi) technology, representing a commanding lead over rival forms of PV technology, such as <a href="/facts/Cadmium_telluride/eyfWTv6Q">cadmium telluride</a> (CdTe), <a href="/facts/Amorphous_silicon/lVNN0bv7">amorphous silicon</a> (aSi), and <a href="/facts/Copper_indium_gallium_selenide/eCN2WsuD">copper indium gallium selenide</a> (CIGS). In 2016, manufacturers in China and Taiwan met the majority of global PV module demand, accounting for 68% of all modules, followed by the rest of Asia at 14%. The United States and Canada manufactured 6%, and Europe manufactured a mere 4%. In 2021 China produced about 80% of the <a href="/facts/Polycrystalline_silicon/NdywIRGW">polysilicon</a>, 95% of <a href="/facts/Wafer_(electronics)/lCBJAoUL">wafers</a>, 80% of cells and 70% of modules. Module production capacity reached 460 GW with crystalline silicon technology assembly accounting for 98%.
Photovoltaics companies include PV capital equipment producers, <a href="/facts/Solar_cell/3L814UCC">cell manufacturers</a>, <a href="/facts/Solar_panel/gufbEu8n">panel</a> manufacturers and installers. The list does not include <a href="/facts/Silicon/cgWx0hdr">silicon</a> manufacturing companies.
