Supply Chain
Our ethical and quality standards also extend to our supply chain. In particular, we only source solar PV and storage equipment from outstanding manufacturers that act ethically & sustainably. In particular, we source equipment from Growatt, Swiss Solar, and Trina Solar.
Our Supply Chain Principles
- Transparency – We have vetted the equipment manufacturers based on 3rd party reviews/surveys and trust that the remarkable results of these independent reviews exemplify transparency in the respective manufacturers’ operations.
- Quality – We procure PV modules, inverters, & batteries that rise above the industry standard. Safety and reliability are key to our procurement decisions.
- Conflict-free Materials – We condemn the use of raw materials sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This area is in a state of conflict, meaning illegal means are used to produce and source raw materials, specifically tin, tantalum, tungsten, cobalt, and gold. Our suppliers are committed to sourcing raw materials from ethical and sustainable sources.
