Committed to affordability: Offering tariff free panels
Better Quality. Faster Delivery. Lower Cost. Call us:
RESHAPING THE INDUSTRY
Unlike our vertically integrated competition that owns every stage of production from ore processing to final lamination, we can be agile. We contract out stages of the manufacturing process to various departments within the large vertically integrated companies. This results in tremendous production capacity and a wide selection of products.
QUALITY
We set the quality control standards and buy only the product that meets our criteria. Therefore, we don’t have to deal with the product that falls on the lower end of the performance bell curve.
WARRANTY
Because Grape Solar products are manufactured by over thirty different factories around the world we have established a blanket warranty that is backed by the original equipment manufacturer’s warrantees. If Grape Solar disappeared tomorrow, your panels would still be covered by a warranty.
SERVICE
To us you aren’t just a foreign name on the other side of the ocean. Grape Solar is an American company that treats its customers as valued partners.
PRICE
With our horizontal integration model we can basically name the price and let the original equipment manufacturers weigh the costs of lower margins in exchange for steady production. Assuming equal quantity and lead time, we can meet or beat any price.
