Has anyone heard of Sunfun panels or Hanwai panels?

I am wondering, how many/who makes the actual cells? Bruce Roe

Q-cells was originally a German brand made in Germany, but now made by Hanwah and touted as being "German engineered"
Hanwah makes panels for several brands as well as their own I believe. I like Q-Cells panels - not so sure about the rest...

I found the "top ten" list of cell makers from 2018. It might be different today.

Solar cell production in 2018 represented change on many fronts, but may be remembered as a year during which Chinese-owned companies made further strategic moves as part of the current Beijing mandate to position the country as a high-tech manufacturing global powerhouse.

I am glad to hear, no one has cornered the market on that critical technology.
Was not very long ago, there were no 4 watt cells. Bruce Roe
