Simax

Simax Solar is an integrated Chinese manufacturer which makes silicon ingots, solar wafer, cells, modules and solar PV systems. Simax is a relatively small company compared to the big Chinese solar companies like Trina, Yingli which have thousands of employees. Simax Solar has 200 employees. Simax Solar has also introduced their 250 watt high efficiency solar panel in the Australian market.

Simax Solar sells one of the cheapest solar panels in the market given that it has a smaller capacity and a lesser brand name in the market. To sell its solar panels competing against top panel manufacturers like Suntech and Western producers like Solarworld, it has to price it panels cheaply. Being a smaller panel producer there is a danger that the company might go belly up like Spectrawatt and that would mean that the 25 year performance warranty will effectively become zero.

Simax is not generally considered a Tier 1 producer because of its smaller size. It also has lower number of marketing and sales offices as it is a smaller solar panel provider than others.
