Renesola<\/strong>\u00a0(SOL) is a China based company providing modules at cheap prices.\u00a0Renesola<\/a>\u00a0is a vertically integrated company \"Solar<\/a>with complete R&D and manufacturing of polysilicon, silicon wafer and solar modules. Renesola has a global presence with sales branches established in Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific regions.\u00a0Renesola sells most of its Solar Panels under an OEM Contract.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jinko Solar<\/strong>\u00a0(JKS) is another vertically integrated China based company making Modules, Cells & Wafers. Jinko Solar is one of the\u00a0lowest cost solar panel producer and was the best performing solar stock in 2012<\/a>\u00a0according to me. The company\u00a0has a wide customer base in more than 10 countries, including Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Israel, the United States, Japan, Australia and China. Jinko Solar uses\u00a0nanotechnology-based silicon ink and processing platform in the solar panel production.<\/p>\n
