Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.

photovoltaic module manufacturers

SolarBridge Supply is an independent sourcing partner. Share the watt class, cell build, quantity, and US destination so factories can quote one module scope instead of a family name.

Exact-item file list

A family brochure is not evidence for the model you intend to buy. Ask the proposed maker to bind each file to the quoted bill of materials.

  • Current datasheet naming rated power and module efficiency with the test basis.
  • Dimensional drawing for frame length, mounting holes, and cable exit.
  • Electrical table covering maximum power voltage and open-circuit voltage.
  • Connector and cable callout, including any paired mating part.
  • Safety-listing record only if this project actually requires one.
  • Flash-test or inspection note tied to the quoted lot, not a sibling model.

Still open before a quote

  1. Whether the brochure model number matches the line item you will award.
  2. Whether the module maximum system voltage rating covers the design voltage confirmed by your project engineer.
  3. String current and fuse assumptions, which stay with the project designer.
  4. Bifacial claims, accepted only when the supplier states the irradiance and albedo basis.
  5. Warranty text, freight, pallets, and spare connectors still unmarked on the offer.

Read the procurement note or compare names on the module list.

Where the modules are asked to work

These are buying contexts, not completed jobs. Each one changes frame length, clamp zone, and how many modules sit on a pallet.

Commercial rooftop rows

Record roof zones, walkway gaps, and whether the module length fits the existing rail spacing.

Ground-mount blocks

Send the mounting drawing and ask for the proposed module clamp zones, dimensions, and permitted mounting orientation.

Carport and canopy bays

Note headroom, purlin spacing, and whether the junction box faces the drive aisle.

Tracker table lengths

Ask the supplier to confirm module length against the tracker torque-tube module count.

Questions buyers send before the first factory pass

Ratings

Which watt class belongs on the RFQ?

Write the rated power you need, or the acceptable band, and say if module efficiency is a floor or only a reporting field. Leave the cell technology blank if you have not chosen it.

What does the quotation have to restate?

The offer should restate rated power, module efficiency, and the test condition used for both. A catalog range without a model number is not yet a line you can award.

Documents

Which drawings stay unresolved?

Ask for the frame drawing, connector sheet, and any packaging drawing. Mark each one open until the file names the same model as the price line.

Who checks listing and interconnection?

This desk can request the file. Code review, structural checks, and interconnection approval stay with the qualified parties on the project.

Commercial comparison

How should two offers be lined up?

Match quantity, currency, included connectors, packaging, freight, duty basis, and exclusions before you read the unit figure. A lower unit line with a missing pallet spec is a different purchase.

Can a budget be optional?

Yes. If you add one, name the currency and whether it is per module, per pallet, per MW, or the whole order. Premium, mid-range, budget-friendly, or not yet decided is your preference, not a rating we have verified.
