>
Re-sell to partner installers possible
Brand has a high reputation with installers and end-customers and
stands for high quality modules
> Mainly driven by LCOE considerations
>
Installers
Well-known brand in the PV industry, in particular in the U.S. and
Europe, which is a good fit to Meyer Burger's envisaged market
strategy
>
Re-sell modules to installers with lower buying
power
> Mainly driven by brand and reputation of supplier
Purchase modules either directly from manufacturers or from wholesalers depending on size
Installer usually makes ultimate decision on which module brand/type to use, rather than end-customer
>
Mainly driven by brand, perceived quality and reputation of module supplier
Residential & small commercial
Households
Retail businesses
For residential and small commercial, indirect sales channels are leveraged
Relationships with sales channels are built up by key account managers
Hiring of staff with established strong network to wholesaler, installer and solar leasing companies
>
Create a push-pull effect with installers asking for the product with their preferred wholesaler
Notes: 1) Dependent on market, e.g., possible in US, more difficult in Germany because of channel conflicts
