Important update from February 6, 2025
Sharp withdraws from solar business in Europe
Due to challenging conditions in the European solar market, Sharp has made the decision to close its European solar business (Sharp Energy Solutions Europe - SESE) after 30 years of operation. The solar division is part of Sharp Electronics GmbH in Hamburg, Germany. The final day of SESE’s operations will be March 31, 2025. Until then, the solar division will remain responsible for managing any ongoing projects, orders, or final requirements for its range of solar panels and related products.
As of April 1, 2025, Sharp Electronics GmbH will continue to provide customer service. All product and power output guarantees will remain valid for the duration of the guarantee period and will be managed and supported by Sharp Electronics GmbH.
This decision does not impact any other part of Sharp’s operations in Europe or Sharp’s remaining solar business.
65 years of solar expertise
If you are looking for high quality solar panels for the environmentally conscious power production, you have come to the right place. Providing solar energy solutions has been Sharp’s core competence for 65 years. To date, Sharp has delivered more than 50 million cutting edge photovoltaic (PV) panels worldwide, meeting the needs of thousands of international solar energy customers.
From our European office we sell our solar power systems to installers, distributors and project companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. End customers, such as homeowners or commercial customers, can purchase our photovoltaic panels together with the installation service from our local installers.

Benefit from unrivalled photovoltaic expertise
With more than one million customers worldwide and having shipped more than 50 million PV panels, Sharp has produced 15.4GW (gigawatts) of power, equating to a total CO2 avoidance of 168 Mt (megatons) of CO2. Sharp has a track record of over half a century as a solar manufacturer - the industry’s longest standing solar experience, earning its solid reputation in the world of solar. Sharp solar panels are operating in many areas; from family homes and installations in extreme environments such as lighthouses and satellites, to recently completed megawatt-scale solar power plants.

Sharp’s portfolio of high-performance solar modules is built for residential, commercial and free-field installations. We constantly adapt our range of PV panels to the latest technologies and check every new technology thoroughly before use to ensure longevity.
We strictly source quality components and test our panels above IEC standards. This means we only offer proven technology and solar modules that are built for 30 years of high-performance. All our modules have a long list of certificates from respected institutions such as VDE and TÜV.
