EuPD’s independent survey amongst installers and end-customers in Germany, France, and Italy showed that Suntech stood out for its top brand quality, high brand awareness amongst end-customers, and distribution depth, which refers to a strong position in brand portfolios of installers.
“We are honoured to be recognized for our strong global brand positioning by a respected market research firm like EuPD Research. This recognition reaffirms Suntech as a global brand and market leader, and serves as a compelling reference point for end-customers around the world to determine trustworthy and quality partners in a highly differentiated market,” said Edwin Huang, vice president, corporate marketing at Suntech.
The ‘Top Brand PV’ seal was developed by EuPD Research in 2010 as a way of evaluating the brand management strategies of module and inverter manufacturers neutrally. The seal is assigned on the basis of a multilevel analysis founded on statements made by market intermediaries and end-customers. Manufacturers thus receive an unfiltered assessment of their own brand as well as feedback of how to potentially optimize their brand management.
