    Why would you think a leader is necessary ?

    For no B.S. information, this forum is a good first stop. But there is probably no one leader in terms of equipment.

          Leader?.........Solar is diversified and disaggregated.

          IMHO it will never be consolidated into a leader because of the nature of its installation........widely spread across the earth. It is a commodity.

            The "solar industry" is a conglomeration of a lot of different industries. Most installers use a mix of components to build a system.

            For example, solar panels. Sunpower, Kyocera, Trina, Jinko and Canadian are all large scale suppliers. Microinverters would mainly be Enphase, with a few smaller companies coming up quickly.

            For grid tie inverters you mainly see SMA and Fronius. For grid tie inverters with optimizers, SolarEdge.

            Off grid is a somewhat different market. Charge controllers would be Midnite and Outback, with both companies also making good off-grid inverters. Xantrex still has some presence in the inverter space. Trojan is definitely the leader in batteries, although Rolls makes much better ones. There are a few lithium chemistries becoming more popular.

            Then there's racking, and balance-of-system components, and generators for off-grid installs . . . . there are a lot of parts to most systems.

              You just named the two of the most dangerous companies in the world. Add Google and Facebook to the list.
