If the fingers are doing the walking, the wallets are doing the talking. I cannot believe the uptake in sales per store with the new branding, products and word-of-mouth PR that is spreading like wildfire about SunseiTM.
Its like something I’ve never seen before. The quality of the products, the support and the branding efforts across several levels, are all having a tremendous effect (in some cases TOO positive). As with the grid market where customers are now paying “reservation fees” just to have manufacturers keep their orders ahead of others, we are finding customers now willing to “prepay” months ahead just to bring stock in early so as to ensure availability. Those that have provided forecasts obviously took care in such a market situation but who was to know this would happen so quickly!
I must say that our team is also pulling off miracles and our clients are also being patient with us. Its also interesting that while some merchants have chosen to offer many of the same models they listed three years ago, those that have moved forward to newer more efficient, more attractive and better supported products are seeing the greater effects of a more educated consumer. People actually KNOW about degradation, shading, balance of system components far more than they use to. In some ways, the trade buyers have some catching up to do with their own consumers. All points to a tremendous year for anyone in solar, even for those offering lesser products, simply due to the demand, supply, awareness and every other factor under the sun.
