PVTIME – The PVBL 2026 Global Top 100 Solar and Energy Storage Brands list was officially published on 2 June 2026 at Shanghai’s Century PV Conference. Compiled jointly by Century New Energy Network, Century Energy Storage and PVBL, this independent ranking provides a reliable way of measuring the brand equity and global market influence of solar and energy storage enterprises, and has attracted significant interest from industry and financial stakeholders. A dedicated Tier 1 classification for solar tracker systems was also launched.
Demand remained strong across North America, the Middle East and Latin America during 2025, driving consistent growth in the global solar tracker market. Full-year industry shipments surpassed 133GW. The US remained the world’s largest single market for solar trackers, registering annual demand of 44.64GW. The three leading domestic providers together captured 89.6% of the national market, creating a highly consolidated competitive environment at a regional level.
Global tracker penetration across newly installed photovoltaic assets reached 45-50% over the year. Utility-scale ground-mount solar projects recorded penetration above 60%, while adoption rates in selected international regions peaked at 90%.
