What inverters and panels are used by national solar companies?

Panels: Kyocera Silevo (upcoming)

Vivint
Inverter: enphase?
Panels: Canadian Solar, Yingli, Trina

Sunpower
Inverter: enphase
Panels: SunPower

SunRun
Inverter: enphase?
Panels: Yingli, Trina, Suntech,

Excellent point. Thank you for adding racking systems. I've never heard of Geostellar. Where do they operate?

Geostellar is national.
Disclosure, work there. It is not a lead generator, we handle full install. We also sell SunEd systems as an option, but we handle the install.

Vivint is using Mounting-systems racking. I'm not 100% sure it's exclusive though.

What do you mean you install SunEd systems? So they sell the system, and you are the certified installation partner?

No, Geostellar sells all the systems. We then buy the equipment from a distributor including SunEd. and pay a local contractor to install. With SunEdison we have multiple options depending on the financing, with PPA we have to use all their equipment (racking and inverters- they do not use all the inverters just a sub set from vendors). Otherwise we can just purchase the modules and pair with equipment from other distributors.

Sungevity uses ABB and SMA inverters and IronRidge/Quickmount racking

SunRun uses ABB inverters and Snap-n-rack
