Top 10 global panel manufacturers are even more dominant

PV InfoLink has put out its 2021 module shipment rankings and the lineup is LONGi, JA Solar and Trina tying for 2nd, Jinko, Canadian Solar, Risen, Hanwha Q Cells, First Solar, Suntech, and Astronergy. Manufacturers that didn’t make the list shipped an average volume of 3-4 GW. The unfortunate news for small manufacturers is that these top 10 accounted for more than 90% of 172.6 GW of demand, much higher than the previous 70-80%. PV InfoLink also found that large format modules are becoming much more popular.
