Why this award matters

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.
