“Silfab continues to innovate solar PV manufacturing and design to deliver the highest quality modules 100% made in North America. We continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards and, once again, independent and very rigorous testing proves the long-term reliability of our products,” said Paolo Maccario, Silfab President and CEO.

Only India-based Adani Solar secured Top Performer status in three of the four test for a specific module series in the 2019 Scorecard, while China-based GCL System Integration Technology (GCL-SI), was the only company to achieve Top Performer status for two modules (GCL-P6/60Hxxx and GCL-P6/72Hxxx /), in each of the four testing regimes.

There were no US-headquartered manufacturers represented in the 2019 Scorecard, which was dominated by a total of eight China-headquartered companies and two in India. Europe was represented by REC Group, Korea with Hanwha Q CELLS and Vietnam through Boviet Solar. No Japanese module manufacturer was represented in the 2019 Scorecard.
