Choosing a manufacturer of solar and storage equipment can be difficult — the market is full of bold claims that are difficult to verify. SunWiz Awards exist to help Australian homeowners cut through that: they recognise the largest and fastest-growing manufacturers using independently sourced data — not marketing, nominations, or paid placement. Sofar is one of them, with 2 separate 2026 awards, every one earned on verified data.
Since 2009, SunWiz has tracked every solar power system installed across Australia, documenting each company’s installation volume. Rankings draw on the Clean Energy Regulator REC-Registry plus verified records from STC service providers, and on audited customer review data for review-based awards. Ranking positions are determined by data, independent of whether a company chooses to participate — SunWiz Awards are determined exclusively by data rather than by judging panels, nominations, or sponsor relationships. As the recognised authority on Australian solar market volumes, SunWiz data is referenced by corporations, NGOs, and government bodies.
