2 I About Us
Welcome to SolarWorld
With roots in the United States back to 1975, SolarWorld continues to serve as a leading visionary for the modern solar industry. Creating and delivering clean, cost-effective solar power is our top priority—not a side project to other business interests.
Solar is what we do, and we do it better than anyone else.
Today, at our manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, we sustainably produce solar cells and assemble solar panels. Our state-of-the-art facility is fully automated, boasts 500 megawatts of cell capacity and 350 of panel capacity, and embodies decades of proven solar experience.
At the same time, our sales, marketing, customer service and engineering teams are dedicated to supporting the needs of our customers. Together, we innovate and champion solar to homes and business owners nationwide.
At SolarWorld, we believe.
We believe that all solar is not created equal.
We believe in manufacturing in the markets we serve.
We believe in leading a sustainable future.
We believe that a solar world is a better world.
America’s Authority on Solar™—for more than 38 years.

America’s solar manufacturer
For more than 38 years, SolarWorld has stood alone as the largest solar manufacturer in the U.S. Every day, we work to create American jobs, support the communities we serve, make the Earth a better place and provide relief from rising energy costs.
In 2013 alone, SolarWorld produced more crystalline silicon solar cells than all other U.S. solar companies combined. In fact, our factory in Oregon has the capacity to produce a solar panel every 23 seconds.
Since 2010, SolarWorld has purchased nearly $1 billion of goods and services, including equipment, supplies, services, parts and raw materials from 47 states and DC.
We employ about 700 Americans in our U.S. manufac-turing headquarters in Hillsboro, Oregon.
We are financially strong, building on more than 38 years of proven industry leadership and success to ensure a strong future.
An innovator and leader, SolarWorld is responsible for many of the solar industry’s most important firsts, as shown below:
4 I Quality
Industry-leading quality
SolarWorld’s Sunmodule solar panels are recognized as the industry standard in quality. We stringently control the entire manufacturing process, ensuring high performance in each and every panel.
Every Sunmodule solar panel undergoes quality checks during every second of the manufacturing process, guaranteeing exceptional power performance for at least the next 25 years.
We have never had a product recalled in our entire history.
We flash-test then plus-sort our solar panels, which is a fancy way of saying we do everything we can to ensure the greatest energy yield, delivering more power to you.
SolarWorld has been ISO 9001 certified for more than 10 years, which means we’ve been officially recognized for our quality management for a long time now.

5 I Corporate Stewardship
Our commitment to sustainability goes deeper than our products. It starts with how we manufacture our products, how we treat our employees and what materials we choose, then extends outward to the communities we serve.
We believe that sustainability begins on the inside. We are proud to perform award-winning, eco-friendly practices all the way through our production process, from raw material procurement to the packaging of our finished products.
SolarWorld was named the world’s greenest solar manufacturer in 2011 by the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, recognizing us for our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
We have been certified for our environmental management since 2010 (ISO 14001).
We participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project with our goal to reduce our carbon emissions by 8% p.a. in CO2e/Wp.
We have a commitment to the Global Reporting Initiative.
At the same time, we strive to give back to society through community programs, including Solar2Schools and Solar2World.
Our Solar2Schools initiative brings solar to our youth, giving them a firsthand opportunity to learn about renewable energies.
Our Solar2World initiative brings solar to those who otherwise may be without electricity, such as remote villages in the developing world, or without clean water through our partnership with Water Missions International.
A passion for the environment, a commitment to community
