Sharp Solar Panels: Company and Product Information

The Company

Sharp solar panels are the result of an extended period of research and development in the field of Solar Power by the parent company, Sharp. They have been mass producing photovoltaic solar cells for over 40 years and are the only provider of solar technology to the Japanese space program.

Sharp's Environmental Credentials

Sharp has of late been working to improve its environmental credentials with efforts such as the cooperative development of a large scale electronics recycling company in the United States as well as being part owner of a similar operation in Japan. They are keen to promote their greenness in terms of maximizing energy efficiency in their manufacturing processes as well. Their other main focus for promoting their environmentally friendly credentials is a focus on the efficiency and quality of their products.

Quality of Panels

The solar panels Sharp makes come with up to a 25 year performance warranty though this will vary somewhat with particular models. The panels are also rated to be within 5% efficiency of the minimum stated power output. This is also a sign that Sharp's solar panels are of a high quality and that the manufacturing process they use is well developed.

The high quality of Sharp's products along with the company's clean environmental record make purchasing new Sharp panels through an official dealer well worth considering.
