The future of solar is looking bright. With substantial federal investments in the renewable energy sector, combined with tax incentives and energy price volatility, solar is seeing a boom in consumer demand. That demand is also driving innovation and production in the marketplace, which means you—and your customers—have a great deal of choices when it comes to solar panels.
Buying solar panels wholesale can help increase your bottom line, but it can also bring down costs for your clients, making solar energy more accessible on a wider scale. However, not all solar wholesale companies are created equally. Before you sign a purchase order, here are some important considerations to help you make better-informed wholesale solar panel buying decisions.
Reputable History
This goes without saying, but only work with reputable companies. The solar panel market is ripe for counterfeit and inferior products, and companies that don’t stand behind the products they sell. To protect your own reputation for delivering high-quality installations and customer satisfaction, make sure you work with an established company that has a solid customer support track record. Read customer reviews, and check out their online ratings, including the Better Business Bureau. Also, look for a wholesale solar panel company that is transparent about its sourcing and products.
Experienced Personnel
An experienced team with in-depth knowledge of the solar industry, including the latest technologies and best practices for installation is crucial so that you receive expert advice and support throughout your purchasing process. They can also offer valuable insights on product selection, troubleshooting support, and guidance on regulatory and compliance issues.
Quality Wholesale Products
You want to select quality solar panels that provide a long-term value to your customers. When shopping for wholesale solar panels, you want to make sure they are certified and compliant with industry standards and meet safety and performance benchmarks. Some other things to look for:
- High-efficiency rating
- Panel wattage
- Mechanical load capacity
- Long-term warranty
- Annual degradation rate
- Compatibility with other system components
Friendly Solar Panel Customer Support
So much of the wholesale solar industry is based on building relationships with a genuine interest in advancing solar adoption. Seek out a solar wholesaler company that provides not only efficient order and return processes but also friendly customer service in a supportive and collaborative environment. You should feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and seeking advice. In a competitive industry, a strong reputation for quality service can differentiate a wholesaler. You have options, so don’t settle for less.
