06Ratings are everything

Solar buyers match panel voltage to controller or inverter input, battery capacity to the load and inverter size to peak demand. Wrong or vague ratings lead to returns. Put wattage, voltage, battery chemistry and capacity in the listing exactly as printed on the product.

07Handle heavy goods well

Batteries and inverters are heavy and sometimes fragile. Pack them securely, check terminals and caps before delivery, and arrange suitable transport. A damaged battery is a defective item, and defective items are refunded in full.

08Stock by system type

Small backup systems need compact inverters and batteries. Larger sites need higher voltage systems and matching controllers. Know which system voltages you support and describe compatibility.

09Common solar mistakes

Mixing panel and inverter voltages, not stating battery chemistry and overstating inverter output. Be precise and conservative in your claims.

10A typical scenario

A supplier lists inverters with exact ratings and wins a request for a matching battery bank.
