About Us

Our initial SUNOLAR logo was refreshingly simple. We embarked on importing affordable solar panels under the original SUNOLAR brand, marking an exciting and exhilarating chapter for us.

Our first significant SUNOLAR logo featured vibrant colors and a wave design. In 2007, the solar industry was on the rise, especially for solar panels which were in high demand, particularly along the West Coast. During this time, we also witnessed notable advancements in the quality of solar lighting products.

In 2012, Sunolar adapted its logo to reflect the evolving times, highlighting our commitment to solar lighting, solar panels, and inverters during this pivotal era.

In 2017, SUNOLAR unveiled a new logo featuring a tri-color scheme during a challenging period for the solar industry. The sector faced setbacks including Chinese solar panel dumping tariffs in 2014 and subsequent tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in 2018, affecting all solar products and significantly impacting importers within the US market. To recover, many companies shifted manufacturing operations outside of China, though still offshore.

Solar power continues to demonstrate its efficacy across a spectrum of applications, ranging from large-scale projects to smaller installations. Despite recent slowdowns in the decline of silicon prices, largely influenced by tariffs, the increasing performance of solar technology enhances its appeal. For sustained success in the solar industry, access to large-scale, in-country manufacturing capabilities remains a crucial strategic and logistical advantage.

Solar, LEDs, and storage present unique and promising technical opportunities, each offering extensive untapped potential across various applications. Their convergence marks a significant opportunity akin to the early days of electric lighting in the late 1800s.

As we look ahead, the question arises: if AC light bulbs fade away, could DC devices ultimately dominate the lighting landscape?
