EPCs with warehouses can use solar panel procurement credit terms to purchase containers of solar panels and sell them to competitors, making a profit and diversifying their revenue streams. With the Biden Administration’s recent implementation of solar panel tariffs on solar modules with imported solar cell s from China, this provides a unique opportunity for larger EPCs to leverage their balance sheet, warehouses, and a new manufacturer’s credit line to buy low now and sell high later.
Buying solar panels through retail channels is very expensive. Nationwide retail distributors that deliver pallets to job sites must make a large profit to pay for and sustain their logistics facilities and transportation fleets. We often see mark ups of over 100% vs buying containers of solar panels through a manufacturer’s distributor like BCSC LLC! We help savvy EPCs use this to their advantage by opening a credit line with the manufacturer, taking delivery of containers of solar panels at wholesale prices, and selling those panels to the market at below retail prices. These EPCs can then use the proceeds to pay down the credit line and the profits to purchase their own inventory or re-invest in the business.
Manufacturer credit lines vary from $150,000 – $1,000,000 based upon the EPC’s credit worthiness. We can help facilitate this process with a DUNS number and two years of financial statements. Imagine procuring up to four Megawatts of solar panels without spending a dime of your own money!
