While it is already fairly common knowledge to many that there are counterfeit / fake MPP Solar inverters from China, there are still customers who are new to our products and we wish to take this opportunity to address this concern and help buyers spot counterfeits before becoming an unaware victim. Of course, due to the evolving practice of counterfeit the following are only general tips that may help spot these fake products and the best way to be sure will always be checking with us directly for verification.
APPEARANCE
This is one of the most common ways to spot a counterfeit. The counterfeit products from China often either bear no MPP Solar logo or are missing proper serial and manufacturer declaration stickers on the side. They may also come in a plain form without logo, or with removable logo stickers in front (shown below) and claim to be “generic unbranded” version of MPP solar inverters. These are clear signs of fake products and should be avoided.
PRICE
One of the biggest selling point of counterfeit MPP solar products is that these unethical suppliers will always undersell at a lower price. Look for authorized and genuine MPP solar distributors and ensure the products you are buying does not say “Made in China”. MPP Solar is a Taiwan company.
MARKETING
When buying online, be careful of false reviews. It is extremely easy to copy images from MPP Solar or authorized dealers’ website and use them as front to fool buyers into thinking they are buying genuine products when they are in fact not. Some fake MPP solar inverter companies such as “Easun” or “Powland” will tell you that what they sell is “identical” to MPP Solar inverters except it is in a different brand name. They will also have very similar packaging and user manuals. Buyers should be extremely careful when buying from an unauthorized sources. Again, these are NOT genuine MPP Solar inverters so please be careful.
We have been approached by many buyers already with complaint that they do not receive any technical support or after-sales services from buying these fake products. For your own interest please do not support counterfeit products!

Thank you.
